Reading text: Interact at Rotary International

1. Read the text quickly. How many members are there in Interact?
Have you heard of the Rotary International? It started in the USA in 1905, and
now has millions of members all over the world. Its members are mostly
business people who want to improve people’s lives, both in their local
communities and abroad.

Young people can also get involved in Rotary International’s Interact

programme. Interact is a club for young people aged 12–18. Each Interact club
has different rules – some are only for boys, some only for girls, and some are
mixed. Sometimes, the members only come from one school.

In Interact, members can participate in projects where they help people locally
and in other countries. This helps to create international understanding and
goodwill, and you can also make friends for life. Members learn the importance
of respecting people from different cultures, taking individual responsibility, and
working hard.

There are now over 10,000 Interact clubs throughout the world, with nearly
200,000 members. If you’re interested, find out if there is a local Rotary Club in
your town.
