1 Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called One On One helps elementary students whove fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English. Youd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors—hell be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. Im sure youll enjoy this community service and youll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that youve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If youd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodges office this week. 社会服务是我们学校教育的一个非常重要组成部分。我们鼓励学生在他们毕业前至少参加一个志愿活动。有一个叫“一对一”的新社区项目帮助成绩落后的小学生。你的教育学专业要特别对此感兴趣因为它提供给你一些助教的机会——指导数学和英语。你每个学期至少一个星期做两个小时的志愿服务。你可以选择帮助一个孩子数学，英语或者两个都帮。半个小时的课程很好，所以你可以每个科目各半个小时，每星期两天。Dodge教授会是助教的顾问——他可以在教学计划上或在活动上给予你建议。他每个周二和周四的下午都会在办公室。你可以去他那儿报名这个项目，然后下周开始助教。我相信你在享受这个社会服务同时你会得到有价值的经验。它在你的简历上看起来也不错，展示你对孩子有经验而且关心你的社会。如果你想报名，或者你有任何问题，这周去拜访Dodge教授。 2 I hope youve all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance so that youre prepared for our discussion today. But, before we start, Id like to mention a few things your text doesnt go into. Its interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form for a very long time.
