How to volunteer abroad
There is so much good to do in the world! If you are planning a trip, here are some pointers to make the most of your volunteer opportunities.
Prepare in advance. 1.. Find out what languages are spoken, any cultural differences and any issues of which you should be aware. You must have a heart to serve, and also know how to be careful.
Go in with modesty. When visiting another culture, the first step should be humility. Go with caring hearts, open minds, and listening ears. Keep in mind that you are a guest. 2.. You won’t make any true progress. You might build a home for a family in need, but you won’t build trust.
3.. When you volunteer abroad, you should be doing it with a full heart. It’s important to eat with locals, share in their customs, and attend their activities. You must engage yourself fully in the volunteer opportunity, which shows that you care about what you’re doing together.
Share when you return. Don’t just keep that volunteer experience in your head or in your journal. 4., but even better is sharing it in one-on-one or group conversations. In these conversations, it’s not just “I dug a well and helped a community gain 20 more gallons of fresh water a day.” Yes, that is important! 5..
International volunteering is a gift. It is actually more of a gift for you than the recipients. Through the lessons you learn, you become a better person, a stronger leader.
A. Consider the time outside as an opportunity
B. Posting it on social media is a positive idea
C. Use their local techniques
D. If you don’t do this, you risk damaging the relationship at the start
E. Many people go in to “do the job” and then go back to their hotels
F. Make sure you take time to understand the host country before you go
G. Even more important is being sincere and learning more about yourself
Peter Drucker is the world’s most influential management master. Probably more than anyone else, he has helped to determine the nature of management and the tasks and responsibilities of the manager.
Drucker’s interests have ranged broadly. In the 1930s and the 1940s, he wrote a series of thoughtful books on capitalist society. From the 1950s to the 1970s, he wrote a series of books on management. Since the late 1970s, he has been more interested in the impact of technological and social change on management and business.
Drucker’s writings avoid formal theories of management and organization and instead encourage managers to ask basic questions. Famously, he urged managers to stop trying to manage processes and instead seek to manage for results, emphasizing output rather than function. In his view, managers should be the pivot around which the organization works, rather than directors controlling from the top down or officers leading from the front.
According to Drucker, it is the manager who breathes life into the enterprise and makes it function. “The enterprise can decide, act and behave only as its managers do.”
In a milestone passage, Drucker says that there is only one valid purpose for a business：“To create a customer. Markets are not created by nature or economic forces, but by the people who manage a business.” Drucker emphasizes the need to consider the needs and motivations of customers, not just the problems of price and distribution that had formerly controlled marketing.
He also stresses the responsibilities of managers: to achieve economic performance, to make work productive and to manage the social effects that any enterprise has on its environment. Particularly important is the third set of responsibilities. Increased social responsibility, says Drucker, is part of the price that must be paid for commercial success.
Drucker sees management as an art rather than a science and constantly speaks of management in human terms, which has made him the most popular and widely read management writer of all time.

Those who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case at Japan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.
The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was at Nagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.
But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook his snoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.
Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel in China, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.

A.Its robot employees. B.Its advanced equipment.

2.What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3?
A.To entertain readers. B.To prove Churi’s drawback.
C.To introduce Churi’s functions. D.To persuade people not to book the hotel.
3.What does the owner of Japan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now?
A.Attractive. B.Costly.
C.Pioneering. D.Disappointing.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Robots Are Taking Over the World.
B.The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel.
C.Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.
D.The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record.
