the best experiences of my life.

My role as a volunteer was to help with the registration and the scoring. I had to check the names and the

numbers of the surfers, give them their bibs and wristbands, and record their scores on a computer. It was not

Volunteering at a sports event was a great way to practise my English, learn new skills, and have fun. I think

26. How long was the surfing competition?

A. two days B. three days C. four days D. five days

27. What were the main tasks that Linh did as a volunteer?

A. registration …
