A. Interact at Rotary International

Have you heard of the Rotary International? It started in the USA in 1905, and now has millions

of members all over the world. Its members are mostly business people who want to improve

people’s lives, both in their local communities and abroad.

Young people can also get involved in Rotary International’s Interact programme. Interact is a

club for young people aged 12–18. Each Interact club has different rules – some are only for boys,

some only for girls, and some are mixed. Sometimes, the members only come from one school.

In Interact, members can participate in projects where they help people locally and in other

countries. This helps to create international understanding and goodwill, and you can also make

friends for life. Members learn the importance of respecting people from different cultures,

taking individual responsibility, and working hard.

There are now over 10,000 Interact clubs throughout the world, with nearly 200,000 members. If

you’re interested, find out if there is a local Rotary Club in your town.

Sara Hi Alex. I need to talk to you about the family who live next door.

Alex Why? What’s up with them?

Sara I think they are living in poverty.

Alex Really? How do you know?

Sara Sometimes the younger children go outside without shoes. Also, they often come to our house and ask my parents if we have any food.

Alex That’s awful.

Sara What should I do?

Alex Well, you can’t solve the problem alone. Why don’t you find out if there’s an organisation that helps people who are living in poverty?

Sara That’s a good idea.

Alex Also, this is just a small thing, but you could take food to them, if they’re hungry.

Sara Another good idea. Thanks, Alex.

C. Practise the dialogue in pairs. Then, create your own dialogue. Change the underlined parts of

the sentence to talk about different people, a different problem, and different suggestions.

dialogue. Explain the problem and what you would like them to do.
