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 与其他组织合作

pass away 去世；离世

lose one's battle with cancer 在与癌症的抗争中失败了

the very reason 正是这个原因

driving force 动力；驱动力

impact as many lives as possible 影响尽可能多的生命

Ⅱ.Text-centered sentences

一、定语从句

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. 在接下来的几年里，我继续与其他组织合作，遇到、帮助，甚至失去了一些最美丽的灵魂，比如2010 年因白血病去世的6 岁的贾丝米娜·阿内玛。

【点石成金】该句中，went on、met、helped和lost四个动词是并列谓语，描述接下来的几年间“我”在慈善事业方面的一些经历。who引导一个定语从句，修饰先行词sixyear-old Jasmina Anema。

【运用迁移】我在过去的几年间认识并帮助了一些需要帮助的儿童，比如6 岁失去双亲的简和与癌症抗争5 年却在2022 年去世的玛丽，她们的故事都深深地触动了我的心灵。

二、it作形式宾语

People make it seem too hard to do charity work.许多人以为做慈善工作太难了。

【点石成金】“make it+adj.+to do sth”是一个比较常见的句型。该句型中，it充当形式宾语，形容词充当宾补，这里的形容词也可以用比较级或者最高级，to do sth 是真正的宾语，有时也可以在to do sth前加上for sb。

【运用迁移】他们应该让我们更清楚地知道如何操作这台机器。

四、语篇过手

根据以上提供的主题、主题表达和语篇结构，写出一篇倡议书。第一段介绍倡议的背景和内容，第二段介绍倡议的具体原因，第三段发起倡议。总词数控制在80左右。

同时，学习运用前文阅读中出现的定语从句或者it 作形式宾语的句式。尤其要注意表达的内在逻辑关系，如段落内部是对比关系还是递进关系，需要注意使用恰当的连词。
