Writing: A blog comment on doing charity work WG 3 You have read the following blog post by a person who is against doing charity work. by Aries67 7 November, 10:13 p.m. I don’t understand why people spend their time helping others without being paid. If you deliver a service, you should get paid. That’s it. There is no need for anyone to give up their spare time. In the end these people just do this for themselves because they want to feel good. So they don’t really work for others, they just want to show how good they are, and they also take away other people’s jobs. You have decided to comment on this blog post. In your blog comment you should • outline your opinion on the topic, • explain why it makes sense/does not make sense to do something that you are not paid for, • describe one voluntary activity you would do.
