Mai: Good afternoon. My name’s Mai Nguyen. Are you Ms Pang? You replied to my email and invited me to visit your office.

Ms Pang: Yes. I’m Ms Pang. It’s nice to meet you, Mai. So how did you hear about us?

Mai: My cousin was an AYVP volunteer. He often said taking part in the programme was an experience he would never forget.

Ms Pang: Glad to hear that. The main goals of AYVP are promoting youth volunteering and helping the development of the ASEAN community.

Mai: What can I do to prepare for the programme?

Ms Pang: Well, to become an AYVP volunteer, you must be qualified for the programme, and this depends on the themes for the year.

Mai: What are the areas covered by AYVP?

Ms Pang: There are eight themes. I suggest checking our website to find out this year’s themes.

Mai: How are volunteers selected?

Ms Pang: To be selected, you should be over 18. Then you may need to propose a community project related to the theme. And we'll probably interview you to make sure you speak English well and are very keen on participating in the programme.

Mai: That doesn't sound too difficult. Thanks so much for meeting me.

Ms Pang: You're welcome.

Read the letter, then answer the questions below

  Dear Mai,

I’m very pleased that we’re going to be pen pals. I’ll tell you a little about myself, and you can do the same when you write to me.

I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It’s quite near the centre, but there are parks nearby where I often take my dog, Mickey, for a walk. I live with my parents and my younger brother, Paul. My father works for the post office and my mother has a part-time job as a nurse.

I go to the local comprehensive school, where I have a lot of friends. I like most subjects, but not all of them! In the evening I sometimes visit friends or stay at home and listen to music, and at the weekends I like going swimming or horse-riding.

At the moment I’m working very hard because I have exams soon, so I’m spending a lot of time in the library.

  I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Write soon!

  Best wishes,

  Mary
