American teens are setting an example for their parents through their volunteer work, according to the
Harris Interactive poll conducted in the United States between Jan. 29 and Feb. 2 among 2,003 adults. The
random national telephone survey released this week by the Federal Way-based charity World Vision found
that more teens volunteer to support a charitable (慈善的) cause-56 percent-than have a part-time job-39
percent.
Parents and guardians said 82 percent of the teens in their lives do something to support charitable causes,
including volunteering, recruiting others to a cause, wearing a T-shirt or donating money. Forty-six percent
of the adults surveyed said they volunteered their time and they also inspired their children to volunteer.
Sara Johnson, a teacher who advises students at a private school in a Chicago suburb, says she's seen a
rise of teen involvement in social causes since President Barack Obama was elected in November.
The Harris Interactive survey found a quarter of teens have become more involved in charitable causes or
organizations as a result of the economic downturn, but the economy has also led to cuts in allowances, and
has teens work more hours at a paying job.
Alynn Woodson, director of volunteer engagement at Habitat for Humanity International, said she has
noticed a new enthusiasm among teen volunteers for the organization.
Habitat for Humanity International celebrates the 20th anniversary of its alternative spring break program
this year and is expecting more than 12,000 young people to help build homes for low-income people around
the nation.

I am an English teacher, with over 15 years' experience of teaching in London. I started
the DailyStep audio email lesson service because I noticed that when I started their English
course, my students' speaking and listening skills were much weaker than their reading and
writing skills. In my view, this is because education in school does not focus enough on
communication skills. DailyStep is designed to remedy this situation by offering more practice
in speaking, listening and vocabulary.
I am crazy about the English language and it is a real pleasure for me to see the
development of my students' language skills.
I majored in (以….为专业)law at university and then worked for three years as a
researcher and journalist for Sky television and BBC magazines. I decided to change to
English teaching because of my love of the English language and my wish to move into more
satisfying work.
Then I qualified (取得资格)as an English teacher in 1992. My first teaching job was at
a language school in Covent Garden, London, where I taught examination classes and
Business English . After two years, I moved to the Nippon Club where I taught General
English and Business English courses for 9 years. I also developed a unique course cal
led
British Society & Culture, covering all areas of British life, such as politics, law, e
ducation & music. At the same time, taught Business, Financial& Law English in the financial
centre of London. My students included staff (工作人员)from banks and law firms.
As well as running the DailyStep website, I also provide in-company English speech
training for companies in London. If you have an important speech coming up and would like
some information about how I can help you, please email me at jane@dailystep.com.
