雅思口語新話題——An Organizsation

　　Describe an organization .

　　You should say:

　　where this organization is

　　how you know about this organization

　　what this organization does

　　and explain how you feel about it.

　　這個題目是近期出的新題，看上去很嚇人，其實也不難，學生的話可以講講學校的團體，工作的話就講講某個單位，比如說我就可以講嘍。或者講講一些慈善機構、基金會、志愿者團體等。范文中講的是學校的青年志愿者聯盟。

　　I joined the Youth Volunteer Association of my university when I was a junior. I have benefited a lot from that experience.

　　There are many student organizations in my university. At the beginning of every new semester, there is a big day for all those clubs and associations to recruit. I joined the YVA because I wanted to help others. To my understanding, just like what I said at the recruitment interview, being a volunteer means to take out my personal time to do something for others.

　　My first volunteering experience was to give English lessons to residents from a neighourhood. Due to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more people are willing to learn some basic English. I major in English, so I think maybe I could help these people with my expertise. We did it every weekend and kept doing it for almost three months. I not only gave lessons to people, more importantly, I communicated with them. Many of them are older than me. They come from all walks of life. They brought to class different life stories. I exchanged my school experiences with their social experiences. Sharing with them has added to my insight into the world I am living in, which was a good thing for someone like me who did not have much access to the real world outside school campus.

　　My association offers the young good chance to be helpful, to get to know more people, to learn something thats not written on the text book.

　　Part 3

　　Working in an Organization

　　What would you prefer to work in, a big organization or a small one?

　　If I were a graduate freshly out of school, I would prefer to work in a big organization. Big organizations have advantages that small organizations dont. As a new graduate, I cherish very much the future development opportunity that big organizations could offer. If I worked for many years, I would prefer to work in small organizations. They are less strict with the employees. They give me more space to turn my ideas into reality.

　　What are the benefits of working in a small organization?

　　Its more flexible in terms of rules and limitations. People can create their own organization culture. With fewer people working for it, every one is important, every ones voice can be heard. Besides, its easier for a small group of people to reach on an agreement on some issues. It cuts down the time organizations spend on decision making, which is a very good thing in todays time-racing world.

　　What are the benefits of working for a big organization?

　　Working for a big organization makes me feel proud. I feel safer-I mean they cannot fire me any time they want to without giving a sound reason, unless I do something terribly wrong and cause great loss. Its true that big organizations have countless rules and regulations. They seem quite a burden some time. But if I work hard and successfully finish every piece of task given by my boss, I will be approved and get what I deserve. Rules and regulations not only punish people, but also push us to work harder.

　　Industries

　　What kind of work do people do in your hometown?

　　People do all kinds of work in my hometown. Teachers, businessmen, company employees, factory workers, doctor...the list is endless, as the economy develops all the time and every day there is new job opportunity. Economy development has cultivated many new jobs, such as hourly-paid workers, baby sitters for babies and for the old, private finance adviser etc.

　　What service industries are there in your hometown?

　　Our city is a famous tourist destination. We benefit a lot from tourism. With the development of tourism, hotel and restaurant business grows rapidly. Entertainment has also become an industry in recent few years. Traditional art forms have been replaced by modern art shows. Public transportation is another major service industry. The local government encourages its citizens to take public transport rather than driving private cars to work and school.

　　What is the government doing to protect the environment ?

　　The local government works a lot on developing public transportation. They produce more comfortable buses. They cut down bus ticket price in order to attract more commuters. This policy has greatly decreased the number of private cars running on the road. Therefore, air pollution is kept under control. At the same time, the government has made and carried out new policies to stop people spitting on the street or smoking in public places. I am totally for these policies.
