143 Tom: Well, I think in life you should think about others, not only study and have fun. It’s important to give a hand to those who need it. In my spare time I work with a group which is interested in social and ecologi- cal issues. We help to clean parks and woods or organize charity events. I really enjoy it. I believe that it is necessary for every young person to take part in community service. After graduation I’m going to continue this voluntary work and I’m planning to found a charity to help sick and old people in our town. 21. Writing. An informal letter.
