Imagine you and your classmates want to donate some of your pocket money to help those in need in another country. Work as a team and decide how much of your pocket money you would like to donate. What would you do with your group’s donation? Do you think the gifts like those in “The World’s Most Useful Catalogue” are a good idea? Give at least two reasons for your answers.

A: I’ll donate 100 yuan, because I have

to pay for my textbooks myself next

term. And our group donate 500

yuan altogether, which equals $65.

We would like to buy Water for a

family ($65). Maybe that’s not too

much money.

But we can do our best to help, even to

save. Therefore, I think it is a good idea

to have “The World’s Most Useful

Catalogue”. If everyone in the rich

countries of the world does the same

things, a lot of people will be saved

instead of dying of hunger or thirst.

Topic two:

Add to the gift list on the Internet

page three more gifts that you think

might be important for those in need in

another country. Share your choice with

another group and give at least two

reasons for your choice.

B: We would like to add to the gifts: a

wireless radio, a TV set, a

computer. With these three, they

can know more about the world

and learn more about science and

technology. They can even get

distance education, or got to school

in the air. Another group told us that

they would like to add condoms to the

list. As far as I know, more and more

people in poor countries are infected

with AIDS. Condoms can prevent

them from being infected with AIDS.

Topic three:

Do you think your class would like

to raise money to buy a gift from “The

World’s Most Useful Catalogue”? Take

a vote on it. Imagine your class has

raised $250. What gifts from the

catalogue would you buy for those in

need in another country?

C: We believe our class will agree to raise

money to buy a gift from “The World’s

Most Useful Catalogue” and I’m sure

we can raise more than $250. With the

money, we will buy school books ($20),

Basic health-care services ($30), one

year of primary schooling for three

($35×3), and

a loan to set up a small business ($85).

I think, after one year of primary

school, they can read books and

improve their living. Thanks to the

knowledge they get from the books,

they may set up a small business, on

condition that they are healthy enough.

With a partner answer the questions

before you listen for a third time.

As you listen check your answer.

1. Why did Mary decide to work in

developing countries?

Because when she worked in an

African health clinic, she saw children

with illnesses that could be prevented.

2. When Mary worked in a clinic in

Malawi, why did the children die?

Because the clinics didn’t have enough

medicines.

3. In the Sudan, why was it nearly

impossible for Mary to get to the

clinics when the rains came?

Because the roads became so muddy

that they spent most of their time

digging the car out.

4. Why were conditions in the clinics in

the Sudan challenging?

Because it could be very hot; it could

be nearly impossible to get to the

clinics when it rained; the clinics were

very basic and the only tools she had

were a stethoscope and her hands.

5. Why does Mary enjoy her job?

She feels she is helping people who

otherwise may not get help.

Mary Murray in the future? Complete
