6．Read what Claire did and answer the questions
My stay in the rainforest
Last year，I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the rainforest．So many people have said to me，'I would love to do something like that，'and I say，'If you want to，just do it．'They always reply，'l can't．'But，if you really want to do it，there are ways to make it happen．
After three day's training，I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people．The accommodation was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep．This consisted of a simple  bed，a cloth roof and a net to keep insects （昆虫） out．
It was never dangerous there，but it was very challenging （挑战的）．There were things that we didn't  think we would manage to do，but we did．I had some of my worst moments there，but also some of my best-it made me feel alive．I didn't miss my home comforts as much as I'd thought I might．We had food，water，somewhere to stay，about three sets of clothes and really good conversation．We were in the most  beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy．We didn't need any more．
One of the teenagers said，'Before we came here，it was really important to me what clothes I wore  and who my friends were．I was always thinking about shoes，but really none of that matters．Here，people  accept me for who I am，what I believe and think，not for what kind of clothes I've got．'When she said that，it summed it up for me．
