Every year, a lot of young people in Britain finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some people go to other countries and work as volunteers (志愿者). Volunteers give their time to help people — for example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they help with environmental protection (保护).
Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to a university to study Spanish, but now she is living in Belize, a small country in Central America. Pauline says, “I'm working with other people here to protect the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if

Last December my mother and I flew to London. The first thing we did was to go on a bus tour. This is the best way to tour London and learn all about the history of this city. By the time the tour was over, it was dark and we experienced London by night. The Christmas lights were just fantastic. And I was very surprised to find that so many people made their way home through the heavy traffic on bicycles! I was looking forward to spending the next day in Oxford Street with all its wonderful shops. And what a fantastic experience that was! We bought a London underground ticket and could go everywhere very quickly.
We spent all morning shopping and enjoying the Christmas activities inside the shops and out in the street. Then it was back to the hotel with all our shopping bags and out again to visit the city. First we went to a wax (蜡像) museum called Madame Tussauds, which was full of wax figures of famous people. My mother and I took a lot of photos there. Then we took the underground to Buckingham Palace to watch the Changing of the Guard (卫兵交接). Unluckily, we could not see well because there were so many visitors waiting to take photos.

I work at a university in the US where my team and I are trying to learn more about the American black duck, a kind of water bird. And now we are using an exciting piece of equipment (设备) called a “night vision scope”. By using it, we can see the ducks in the dark.
We're worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers are falling hugely. And we don't know whether there's enough food on the east coast for these birds. There's lots of information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night, because we simply (的确) don't have the equipment. But this new “scope” will make really clear pictures, even on moonless nights, so we will be able to find out more about the ducks.
It is very hard work. There are four of us, and we each work six hours every day. We study ducks in different places, and I sometimes have to take a boat to where I need to work. The weather is not helpful because most of the time it's wet. Oh, and it's so quiet that sometimes I need coffee to stop me falling asleep.
But I like this job. Over the summer, we will spend hours in a laboratory, where we will look at our results together. It will be hard to stay there every day because of the hot weather — but it is very important to do this!

Ⅷ. One possible version:
Because of our bad environment, lots of students want to move to Mars. What is Mars like? Now listen to me. No astronauts have been to Mars. Only spaceships without people have been there. They have sent back some photos of Mars. Mars is one of the sun's eight planets. It's red. There's air on it but it's very thin. There's water on it but there's only a little. In the day it's very cold. So it's impossible for people to live on it.
