我和慈善工作

I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world when I was five or six years old.I would say to myself,“When I grow up and get rich,I will save kids all over the world.”

At 17,I started my career,and by the age of 18,I started my first charity organization.I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls like six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia（白血病）. Her story inspired thousands of people to volunteer as donors. In 2012, when Grandmother lost her battle with cancer, I had the very reason and the driving force to volunteer for others.

We're all humans.And we all just want a chance:a chance in life,a chance in education, and a chance in the future, really. When we do some voluntary jobs, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible,but it starts with just one.

People make it seem too hard to do charity work.The truth is that you don't have to be rich to help others. You don't need to be famous. You don't even have to be collegeeducated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, and the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You can just do whatever you can to help in any way you can.And today,I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person,one organization,or one situation that touches your heart.My grandmother used to say,“If you've got a dollar,there's plenty to share.”

Activity A Reading for understanding

Ⅰ.Text-centered chunks

team up with other organizations 與其他組織合作

pass away 去世；離世

lose one's battle with cancer 在與癌癥的抗爭中失敗了

the very reason 正是這個原因

driving force 動力；驅動力

impact as many lives as possible 影響盡可能多的生命

do charity work 做慈善工作

make a commitment to do 許下承諾去做……

touch one's heart 觸動某人的心靈

Ⅱ.Text-centered sentences

一、定語從句

I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped,and even lost some of the most beautiful souls like six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia. 在接下來的幾年里，我繼續與其他組織合作，遇到、幫助，甚至失去了一些最美麗的靈魂，比如2010 年因白血病去世的6 歲的賈絲米娜·阿內瑪。

【點石成金】該句中，went on、met、helped和lost四個動詞是并列謂語，描述接下來的幾年間“我”在慈善事業方面的一些經歷。who引導一個定語從句，修飾先行詞sixyear-old Jasmina Anema。

【運用遷移】我在過去的幾年間認識并幫助了一些需要幫助的兒童，比如6 歲失去雙親的簡和與癌癥抗爭5 年卻在2022 年去世的瑪麗，她們的故事都深深地觸動了我的心靈。

二、it作形式賓語

People make it seem too hard to do charity work.許多人以為做慈善工作太難了。

【點石成金】“make it+adj.+to do sth”是一個比較常見的句型。該句型中，it充當形式賓語，形容詞充當賓補，這里的形容詞也可以用比較級或者最高級，to do sth 是真正的賓語，有時也可以在to do sth前加上for sb。

【運用遷移】他們應該讓我們更清楚地知道如何操作這臺機器。

三、寫作支架

本次的寫作任務是寫一篇倡議書，根據任務的要求，語篇結構可定位為“倡議背景和內容+倡議原因+發起倡議”。文章的框架如下：Dear boys and girls,

四、語篇過手

根據以上提供的主題、主題表達和語篇結構，寫出一篇倡議書。第一段介紹倡議的背景和內容，第二段介紹倡議的具體原因，第三段發起倡議。總詞數控制在80左右。

同時，學習運用前文閱讀中出現的定語從句或者it 作形式賓語的句式。尤其要注意表達的內在邏輯關系，如段落內部是對比關系還是遞進關系，需要注意使用恰當的連詞。
