(warming up, p28) can we call the person who helps others a “volunteer”?(when one of your parents or friends needs help, you may not be asked to help but you volunteer to help, we dont say you are a volunteer. a volunteer is a person who helps others in or outside his community or in a foreign country.)task 2 pre-reading1. do you know what png stands for?
