Complete Becky’s talk with the prepositions in the box. You will need to use some of the prepositions than once. Then listen and check.

Hi, I’m Becky. Your teacher has asked me to talk to you about doing voluntary work in Africa. I worked in South America a few years ago and then in Africa last year for six months. It was amazing! There are lots of jobs for volunteers in Africa. I chose to work with animals and I helped look after young elephants that had no parents. A lot of people do voluntary work in other countries, but you must think about it carefully. It isn’t easy work! You have to work long hours and sometimes things are very different from your own country. For example, the weather is sometimes quite extreme. It can be very hot or very cold. People who volunteer should be fit and healthy, and also interested in different cultures. You learn a lot of new things when you work as a volunteer. Also, you don’t work on your own, you work in a team. So, you need to be a good team player and have good communication skills. If you think it’s right for you, then I can recommend Volunteer Today, the agency that helped me. They are always looking for responsible young people who want to help others abd learn new skills. Go online to Volunteertoday (that’s one word) dot com and you can read all about their projects. Or you can phone them. I’ll give you my number too in case you have any questions.
