13. What is the speaker's main point about age in relation to volunteering?

(A) is incorrect. The speaker does not mention audience size.

(B) is correct. Repainting at the front of the building means the group has no other meeting space available.

(C) is incorrect. No competing booking is mentioned.

Associated Text:
The chairs are old and not particularly comfortable, but unfortunately the front of the building is being repainted and we have nowhere else to meet this evening.

(A) is incorrect. Managers are said to be busy in the office.

(B) is correct. Training is usually run by experienced volunteers.

(C) is incorrect. Outside instructors are not mentioned.

Associated Text:
Sessions are usually run by experienced volunteers rather than the managers, who tend to be busy in the office.

(A) is correct. The speaker says what matters most is not age but whether a volunteer can be relied on.

(B) is incorrect. The speaker does not say young volunteers are less reliable.

(C) is incorrect. The speaker mentions volunteers can be over 70, but does not say most are about 60.

Associated Text:
To be honest, what matters most isn't age. What matters is whether you're someone we can rely on. Reliability is crucial in any volunteer role, and in our experience age has nothing to do with that.

(A) is incorrect. OceanCare does not ask about income.

(B) is correct. The speaker stresses that dedication is highly valued and makes a strong volunteer.

(C) is incorrect. Work history is not one of the two issues.

(D) is incorrect. Ambition is not discussed.

(E) is correct. Applicants must be able to maintain a weekly time commitment.

Associated Text:
What we do value enormously is dedication. Some of our most loyal volunteers earn very little themselves, yet still bring incredible energy to every shift. Dedication is what makes a great volunteer.

(A) is incorrect. OceanCare does not ask about income.

(B) is correct. The speaker stresses that dedication is highly valued and makes a strong volunteer.

(C) is incorrect. Work history is not one of the two issues.

(D) is incorrect. Ambition is not discussed.

(E) is correct. Applicants must be able to maintain a weekly time commitment.

Associated Text:
But it's really important that you actually have enough time available. We have a minimum commitment of four hours a week, and you have to be able to keep that up every week.

Questions 16-20
What does the speaker suggest would be helpful for each of the following areas of voluntary work?
  1. retail experience
  2. creative thinking
  3. parenting skills
  4. a knowledge of marine biology
  5. a good level of physical fitness
  6. a good memory
  7. experience speaking to large audiences

Write the correct letter A-G next to questions 16-20.

16. Fundraising

17. Beach litter collection

18. Wave Buddies

19. Story sessions

20. First aid

The correct answer is B because fundraising needs people who can think creatively and come up with original ideas.

Associated Text:
So, if you're someone who can think creatively and come up with original ideas, we'd love to hear from you.

The correct answer is E because beach litter collection requires walking for long periods and bending down repeatedly, so physical fitness is essential.

Associated Text:
For this it's really useful if you can walk for long periods, sometimes up sandy slopes, and bend down repeatedly.

The correct answer is C because Wave Buddies involves working with children, and experience looking after younger children is useful.

Associated Text:
it's very useful if you've had some experience looking after younger children, perhaps as a parent or older sibling. Knowing how to keep children engaged really helps here.

The correct answer is G because story sessions require people who can speak clearly in front of large school-group audiences.

Associated Text:
So, what we really need are people who can stand up in front of a crowd and project their voice clearly.

The correct answer is F because first aid volunteers need to remember treatment protocols, steps and dosages, so strong recall is helpful.

Associated Text:
At first, you'll need to take in a lot of information about treatment protocols, the order of steps, dosages of medication, and so on. So being able to retain details accurately will help you a lot.

Note: After the instruction audio, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions before listening to the talk.
