For years, charities across the globe have been encouraging students to join their
volunteering programmes to help make a difference in the world. Volunteers are an integral
part of any charitable organization; without them, there would be no charity. Not only can
volunteering benefit a wealth of causes, but it can also boost a student’s prospects once they
head out into the working world.
Volunteering can be a humbling experience, allowing you to see the world in a different
way. Whether you agree to volunteer for a number of consecutive months or a day a week, the
impact you have could be life-changing. There’s also a strong sense of achievement and pride
that comes with generously giving up your time for a worthy cause.
When it comes to volunteering, there are countless opportunities at home or away. Many
students choose to volunteer abroad to experience a new culture and learn more about other
countries. It can be a wonderful way to experience another country, with support and
guidance during the stay from the organizations. Volunteering overseas involves more group-
based work than volunteering at home. It also gives students the opportunity to get away from
studies and work responsibilities.

At home, opportunities are likely to be helping with youth clubs, childcare support, medical
support or charity shops. Working for a cause while at home will allow for flexibility around a
student’s timetable, they may be able to give up some of their spare time at the weekend or a
few hours in the evening.

A. Volunteering Experience’s Benefits to Students.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the correct correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Translators and interpreters for tech jobs of the future are expected to be one of the
fastest growing occupations in the nation, according to a just released survey by
Vietnamworks. Almost all positions for programmers, application developers, database and
network administrators, engineers, designers, architects, scientists, technicians, and tech
support will require bilingual or multilingual fluency.
In just the last two years the demand for tech professionals with foreign language skills
has increased more than two and one-half fold, said the survey, and the uptick shows no
signs of abating anytime soon. Roughly 400,000 jobs are expected to open for interpreters
(who focus on spoken language) and translators (who focus on written language) in the
tech segment, between 2017 and 2020, says Tran Anh Tuan. Tuan, who works for the
Centre for Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labour Market Information in Ho Chi Minh City
doesn't include other industries in his prediction, which are also recruiting ferociously for
more people with these same language skills.
While that claim might seem a bit overblown (and amounts to little more than a guess
by Tuan), it is clear that innovative technologies like robotics, 3D printing, drones, artificial
intelligence and virtual reality will create major upheavals in all sorts of labor markets, not
just technology over the next few years. In the last month alone, most every job posted
on employment websites throughout Vietnam included the word bilingual. Far higher
salaries go to people who work in high tech positions and can speak a foreign language such
as English in addition to Vietnamese, says Tran Quang Anh from the Posts and
Telecommunications Institute of Technology.
Unfortunately, the surveys show that most graduating Vietnamese students are unable to
do more than understand a few basic phrases of foreign languages, and practically none
of them can speak any foreign language coherently, The good paying jobs with high
salaries and benefits are only available to translators and interpreters who specialize in
high tech jobs, says Anh. But it's not just English— graduates are needed with fluency in
middle eastern languages like Arabic, Farsi and Pashto (Afghani) as well as German,
Japanese and Korean to name just a few. Spanish is also in high demand in Vietnam,
primarily because it is the second most common language in the US after English.
A recent tech expo in Hanoi sponsored by Vietnamworks and the Navigos Group
attracted nearly 4,000 young tech graduates and recruiters from 14 leading companies
looking to fill job vacancies with skilled bilingual workers. The job applicants were young
and industrious, said the recruiters. However, missing were candidates with
the requisite language skills and most lacked basic 'soft skills' such as written and verbal
communication abilities to effectively communicate even in their native Vietnamese
language.
Notably, the recruiters said they considered language abilities and soft skills just as, if
not more important, than academic ability. Yet virtually all the prospective academically
qualified employees lacked even the most basic of interpersonal communication abilities.
