The following photos were taken by Jo in PNG. Look at the photos and answer the questions. ①Jo is a kind-hearted woman, who is willing to help others. Second, she knew enough about the poor conditions in PNG and thought that she could help teach in the schools. Thirdly, maybe she thought that education is the key to solving all the problems in PNG, so she, as a teacher, went to PNG to help. Fourthly, she was willing to help the poor children in PNG to be educated. She was doing her bit to change the poor’s state of living and education. If everyone in the rich countries would do like her, all the problems caused by poverty could be solved easily. ②I think I will be a volunteer in a poor area. Whenever I see the poor living state of the poor in the western areas and mountainous areas, I am eager to do something for them. All men are created equal. But they can’t get what we can enjoy. What a pity! If possible, I will try to help. v )Use the following words to retell how Mukap cooked the meal.
