7、about my studies. Im a foreign student Q21 from Germany and, well, I heard that this is the place to come. Adviser: It certainly is. So, what kind of problems are you having? Its quite normal for students to meet problems, particularly overseas seas students who might not be familiar with the Britis

8、h way of life or education system. Student: Well, my first problem is the workload. Adviser: Thats a common problem, even with British students. Student: It seems to me that the biggest difference between university and secondary school is that university students have to do a lot of work on their o

9、wn, and its sometimes useful to get advice on how to take control of your time and work effectively. Adviser: Youre right. The obvious thing to do is to make a schedule Q22 and stick to it. Bear in mind that there is enough time to do the work and enough time for extra-curricular activities. Student

10、: You mean that I shouldnt overload myself. Adviser: Right, but moreover, be careful to spread your work out over the weeks and months.

Adviser: We get so many students complaining about that. We are trying to get that changed, but . well, to be honest, the library Q25 staff already work lo

13、ng shifts and unless we can get extra staff, the library has to remain closed at the weekends. Student: I understand, but . Adviser: I know. It makes organising your time even more important. Make sure that you get all the books you need from the library before the weekend. Then, devote some of your

14、 weekend time to making notes from the books at the weekend. Student: The problem is that Im easily distracted when Im working at Q26 home rather than in the library. Adviser: Well, an alternative strategy is to work longer hours during the Q27 week, when the library is open, and do no work at all a

15、t the weekends. Sometimes, its very useful to forget about studies for a day or two each week. Student: Yes. That might be better for me. I can concentrate on my work in the library and then leave the weekends free. Also, I have some problems, with my essay assignments. Could you have a look at thes

16、e and tell me what you think? Adviser: Certainly Ah, I see. Well, even if you plan your writing Q28 carefully, this can come to nothing if the assignment doesnt actually answer the question.

17、it a great deal of thought before you even start planning or writing your first draft. Its also essential to check your work for errors. Everybody makes them, and they can influence the professor marking the work; So, always take time at the end to cheek what you have written. Many overseas students

Im

22、Jane Winter and Im here to tell you a little about the possibility of volunteer work in Africa. If youre looking for volunteer work in Africa there are plenty of opportunities available. Lets look at the different types of volunteer opportunities available in Africa, what to expect when volunteering

23、 in Africa and stories from volunteers who have worked in Africa. Volunteering means something different to almost every organisation you come across. Some agencies will cover your Q31 flight and cost of living while you are working and some are tree “volunteer“ projects and expect you to cover all

24、costs for the privilege of the experience. If you are looking for a more meaningful way to spend a few months in Africa Q32 than simply travelling around, volunteering is a wonderful way to spend your time. Most jobs that last less than a year or so are going to be the ones you have to pay for. Jobs

25、 that require a commitment of more than a year will Q33 often offer a basic stipend to cover some of your costs. Whether you get paid and how much you get paid will also depend on your skills and how much they are in demand. Most paid volunteer opportunities in Africa are available to those who have

26、 a university education and/or a practical skill. Engineers, doctors, nurses, environmentalists, emergency relief personnel and teachers are among the most asked for by volunteer agencies. If an organisation doesnt require you to have specific skills then Q34 you will usually have to pay your own ex

27、penses as a volunteer. In general Q35 most organisations working in Africa try and recruit as many local people as possible rather than foreigners, since the projects should continue long after you have returned home. So dont take it personally if your intention to help people in Africa is rejected,

28、 it may just be that a local person is better suited to do the job. What should you expect when you volunteer to work in Africa? Conditions are usually basic. Most volunteer opportunities take place in rural areas where you may not have ready access to running water and electricity. Q36 Housing can

29、be very basic and you will likely be staying with local families. A word about cultural adaptability. As in most countries in the world rural Q37 communities are usually more traditional than urban centres. As you will be working closely with the local population you will have to dress and behave in

30、 accordance with what is acceptable locally. General pace of life and work is much slower than in the west. Dont expect any organisation to run efficiently and without glitches. Getting sick can be a problem. If youre spending more than just a few weeks in Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, your

31、 chances of getting malaria or bilharzia will also increase. Make sure you take all the medicine and precautions you need. The organisation you work with should brief you about health issues and dont forget that local nurses and doctors will have plenty of experience with these common afflictions pr

32、obalby more than your doctor at home. Initially you may also have some problems Q38 getting used to different food and water. Anyone who has volunteered in Africa will probably tell you that the biggest impact their project had was not on the community but on themselves. Spending time immersed in an

33、other culture will change the way you look at life and is part of the appeal of volunteering. Before you decide to volunteer in Africa you may be interested to learn what the typical experiences are of people already in the field. Later, well look at a selection of volunteer stories and experiences

34、from Africa. There are many volunteers and Q39 travellers who keep online diaries of their experiences. These contain some excellent tips about working, travelling and living in Africa. Before that, just a quick word about work permits in Africa. Many people who travel around Africa may wish to stay

35、 and work. But just as in Europe or the US, every African Q40 country will require you to get an official work permit. In most cases these laws exist to stop foreigners getting jobs that local people may be qualified for. Unemployment is bad enough throughout Africa so dont take a job that a local p
