Information on company volunteering projects
Where will the Digital Inclusion Day be held?
Thanks for coming everyone. OK, so this meeting is for new staff and staff who haven’t been involved with our volunteering projects yet. So basically, the idea is that we allow staff to give up some of their work time to help on various charity projects to benefit the local community. We’ve been doing this for the last five years and it’s been very successful.
Participating doesn’t necessarily involve a huge time commitment.
The company will pay for Q11 eight hours of your time. That can be used over one or two days all at once, or spread over several months throughout the year.
There are some staff who enjoy volunteering so much they also give up their own free time for a couple of hours every week. It’s completely up to you. Obviously, many people will have family commitments and aren’t as available as other members of staff.
Feedback from staff has been overwhelmingly positive.
Because they felt they were Q12 doing something really useful, nearly everyone agreed that volunteering made them feel more motivated at work.
They also liked building relationships with the people in the local community and felt valued by them. One or two people also said it was a good thing to have on their CVs.
One particularly successful project last year was the Get Working Project. This was aimed at helping unemployed people in the area get back to work.
Our staff were able to help them Q13 improve their telephone skills, such as writing down messages and speaking with confidence to potential customers, which they had found quite difficult.
This is something many employers look for in job applicants - and something we all do without even thinking about, every day at work.
We’ve got an exciting new project starting this year. Up until now, we’ve mainly focused on projects to do with education and training. And we’ll continue with our reading project in schools and our work with local charities.
But we’ve also agreed to help out on a conservation Q14 project in Redfern Park.
So if any of you fancy being outside and getting your hands dirty, this is the project for you.
I also want to mention the annual Digital Inclusion Day, which is coming up next month. The Q15 aim of this is to help older people keep up with technology. And
this year, instead of hosting the event in our own training facility, we’re using the ICT suite at Hill College
, as it can hold far more people.
We’ve invited over 60 people from the Silver Age Community Centre to take part, so we’ll need a lot of volunteers to help with this event.
If you’re interested in taking part, please go to the volunteering section of our website and Q16 complete the relevant form.
We won’t be providing any training for this but you’ll be paired with an experienced volunteer if you’ve never done it before. By the way, don’t forget to tell your manager about any volunteering activities you decide to do.
The participants on the Digital Inclusion Day really benefited. The majority were in their seventies, though some were younger and a few were even in their nineties! Quite a few owned both a computer and
a mobile phone, but these tended to be outdated models.
Q17
They generally knew how to do simple things, like send texts, but weren’t aware of recent developments in mobile phone technology.
A few were keen to learn but most were quite Q18 dismissive at first - they couldn’t see the point of updating their skills.
But that soon changed.
The feedback was very positive. The really encouraging thing was that
participants all Q19 said they felt much more confident about using social media to keep in touch with their grandchildren
, who prefer this form of communication to phoning or sending emails.
A lot Q20 of them also said playing online games would help them make new friends and keep their brains active.
They weren’t that impressed with being able to order their groceries online, as they liked going out to the shops, but some said it would come in handy if they were ill or the weather was really bad. One thing they asked about was using tablets for things like reading newspapers - some people had been given tablets as presents but had never used them, so that’s something we’ll make sure we include this time ...
选项
A、at the company’s training facility
B、at a college
C、in a community centre
答案
B
解析
首先说话人提到了定位词Digital Inclusion Day,然后提到了时间词“this year”以及题干中held的替换词“host”,提示我们答案快来了。接下来先是出现了“instead of hosting the event in our own training facility”,其中instead of意为“而不是”,表示否定含义,因此排除A;然后出现“We’re using the ICT suite at Hill College”,其中using对应held,因此答案为B。C选项在最后提及,但是是活动参与者来自“the Silver Age Community Center”这个地方,与举办地无关,可以排除。
