　　Every year, a lot of young people in Britain finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some people go to other countries and work as volunteers.

　　I’m staying with a family here. They are very friendly and I help with the cooking and the cleaning. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK.
