Ann: Welcome to our school! How did you join
Blue Sky Rescue? Volunteer: In 2008, my friend
got a bad head injury during a hike. We called an
emergency number. It was dark, and we were lost.
But the Blue Sky Rescue team found us. That experience changed me. I wanted to help others to be like them. I signed up with Blue Sky Rescue in 2009. Ann: What kind of work does the team do? Volunteer: We do a lot. We teach safety skills in schools and communities. We also rescue people during emergencies. We've provided medical aid and searched for missing people after natural disasters, like the 2013 earthquake in Ya'an and the typhoon in the Philippines in the same year. We even helped in places as far away as Türkiye in 2023. Ann: What have you learnt from being a volunteer? Volunteer: I've gained practical life-saving skills. I've also realized that teamwork is the key to successful rescues. Most of all, I've learnt to value every life. Ann: The work must be difficult. Why do you keep doing it? Volunteer: Yes, it is difficult and we aren't paid. We often go without food or sleep. But our goal is to save as many people as we can. Seeing the people we save and knowing we're their heroes makes it all worthwhile. Ann: Do you have words for others? Volunteer: We can't do this alone. I hope more people will join us as volunteers. Together we can make a difference! Ann: Time flies! Thank you very much for your valuable time.
I support B. In the speech, the speaker shows that
he joined the Blue Sky Rescue as a volunteer
while still having his own life and work. Even
though the rescue work is difficult, he still
manages to help others. This proves that one doesn't need a lot of free time to volunteer; as long as there is a willing heart, everyone can contribute.
