People have many reasons for doing volunteer work in Africa. Many want to help others and some are
looking for ways to be involved or to make the world a better place. Desires for activism, community building, and
self-exploration can also be fulfilled through volunteering. Some people volunteer formally through a profit, non-
profit, or charity organization, while others volunteer informally by helping a sick neighbour or tutoring a friend.

People who do volunteer work in Africa get firsthand information about the problems facing Africa like
poverty, hunger, malnutrition, disease, unemployment and environmental degradation. This has been caused by
illiteracy, ignorance, high population growth rate, declined rate of manufacturing, excessive exportation of raw
materials, unfair international trade, primitive and un-mechanized methods of agriculture, corruption, political
instabilities and unjust world economic order. The first-hand information of previous volunteers in Africa has
contributed immensely to the recent cancellation of Africa's foreign debts of multi-billions of US Dollars by the
G-8 rich countries.

Besides helping others, volunteers will contribute considerably to their own career development. Volunteer
work in Africa can help them more clearly define their career path, while enhancing existing skills or developing
a variety of new skills. In today's world of rapid change, there are always new and necessary skills to learn and
build. Volunteers will also gain hands-on experience and expand their horizons as they become more
knowledgeable in the field in which they volunteer. In addition, they will make numerous interesting and valuable
contacts that may be instrumental in their job search later on. Last but not least - personal satisfaction, a
strengthened sense of personal achievement and value, and increased confidence often result from making a
positive impact on an organization or directly on a person's life. Some people do volunteer work in Africa because
Lớp Tiếng Anh Online - Hoàng Việt Hưng

their time, skills and various other efforts to help improve the living standards of the people there.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

Water pollution is dirty, unsafe water and cannot be used for drinking. The water pollution occurs when
different particles, chemicals, and other substances cause the water to become unsafe. Sometimes
the pollutants flow directly into the water from a factory. They can also flow indirectly from rainwater mixed with
farm chemicals, construction sites, or other places that release unsafe chemicals. Sometimes water pollution can
occur naturally, such as by volcanic activity, excessive algae, animal waste, and silt from storms and floods. Human
causes include sewage, pesticides and fertilizers from farms, chemicals, and trash from people littering. Water
pollution can be sorted into several different types.

Nutrient pollution takes place due to excessive algae and plant growth when too many nutrients are released
into the water. Wastewater, fertilizer, and sewage are the sources of the excessive nutrients. Surface water
pollution occurs when unsafe substances reach the surfaces of the different bodies of water, and either dissolve in
the water or remain on top of the surface of the water. It may include litter or other discharges in the water. When
Lớp Tiếng Anh Online - Hoàng Việt Hưng

decaying matter is released into the water, microorganisms grow and just like algae, they use up oxygen. Oxygen
depletion is another type of water pollution. Groundwater pollution occurs when farmers, gardeners and others use
chemicals to help their crops or plants grow, including grass. The excessive chemicals seep into the ground, causing
the water underground to become polluted.

Other types of water pollution include microbiological, when people drink water directly from untreated
rivers or streams, and some microbes causes illness to them and to fish living in the water. Suspended
matter includes pollutants that do not dissolve in water, such as substances, particles, and chemicals that sink to
the bottom and kill organisms living at the bottom of a body of water. Finally, oil pills may cause problems in the
spill area and spread for many miles. Many fish die, and seabirds lose their ability to fly.

Regardless of the type of pollution, much of the human causes of pollution can be prevented. Some of the
ways people can do their part in preventing water pollution is to reduce the amount of water used, such as taking
shorter showers and using less water when brushing teeth or washing dishes. Disposing and recycling paints, oils,
medicines, or chemicals properly, and not littering on the streets or in bodies of water. Planting more trees and
flowers can lead to more rainwater being soaked up instead of mixing with chemicals from the area.
