• 12．My name is Ann.I worked as a volunteer in 2013 because I wanted to do something to help others.I called some charity shops（慈善商店） to ask if they needed volunteers.Although I didn't mind where I volunteered，I was glad that one of the Sue Ryder shops said yes.Sue Ryder was a charity very close to my heart because volunteers from Sue Ryder once cared for my dad in the hospital.
     Volunteering in the shop helped me know what shop work was like and I was surprised to find how much I really enjoyed doing it.I also found how important the public（公眾） were.Lots of people gave us things they didn't need for the shops to sell.In this way Sue Ryder raised money to care for people with life-changing illness.I always left the charity shop late because I knew how important the work of Sue Ryder was.
     Another thing I enjoyed about volunteering was talking with other volunteers in the shop.They were friendly and helpful.I really improved my teamwork skills by volunteering.I worked in the shop from late April to early August.I learned many things from it and I'm sure they will be useful in the future.
  （1）Why did Ann work as a volunteer？
  

  
  （2）Who once got help from Sue Ryder in Ann's family？
  

  
  （3）Did Ann enjoy volunteering in the Sue Ryder charity shop？
