Now, we’ll ask you some questions. Try to say your ideas out loud. Don’t worry about mistakes.
Here’s the first one: Q1). What kind of volunteer work does Saki do on weekends?
What kind of volunteer work does Saki do on weekends?
Riku?
She walks around different neighborhoods, picking up trash.
Very nice. Let’s check what Saki said.

-from the Dialogue
Well… I’m kind of busy. I do a lot of volunteer work on the weekends.
Really? Like what?
I walk around different neighborhoods, picking up trash. Do you volunteer?
Uh… I’d like to, but it takes so much time and energy.

So, the question was: What kind of volunteer work does Saki do on weekends? And the answer is: She walks around different neighborhoods, picking up trash.
She walks around different neighborhoods, picking up trash.
Great answer, Riku.
All right. Everyone, let’s try saying the answer: She walks around different neighborhoods, picking up trash. Very good!
I do that, too, but only in my neighborhood. Okay. Let’s move on to the next question. First, listen to this.

-from the Dialogue

So, here’s the question: Q2). Why does Saki like to volunteer?
Why does Saki like to volunteer?
Riku?
Because it makes the world better.
Very nice. You used “because.” Great. The question was: Why does Saki like to volunteer? And one way you could answer is: It makes the world better, and it’ makes her feel good about herself. If you said either of these, you did a good job. Good job, Riku.
All right. Everyone, let’s try saying the answer. First, we’ll say it in two parts. Ready? “It makes the world better,” “and it makes her feel good about herself.”
Now, let’s try the whole sentence. It makes the world better, and it makes her feel good about herself.
Nice work.
Great job. Now, here’s the next question: Q3). Saki says it makes her feel good when she volunteers. When you do something to help another person, how does it make you feel?
When you do something to help another person, how does it make you feel?
Riku?
It makes me happy.
Nice.
How about you, Hannah?
I feel really glad that I helped something good happen, instead of something bad. I really want more good things to happen in the world.
Yes. I agree.
