Nội dung bài nghe:

Kelly: Hi, Jane. Do you want to come and help me raise money for Barnado’s?

Jane: Barnando’s? What’s that?

Kelly: It’s a charity that does some amazing things to help children and young people.

Jane: Cool! Really?

Kelly: Yes. It’s called Barnando’s because a man called Thomas John Barnando founded it. He was from Ireland and he came to London to train as a doctor. When he saw homeless and sick children in London, he decided to do something to help. It’s a very old charity.

Jane: When did it start?

Kelly: In 1867 and it still helps children to this day!

Jane: Wow! That is old! So, what sort of things do they do today?

Kelly: The charity supports teens, protects young children and helps provide education.

Jane: That’s fantastic. It sounds like they really make a difference.

Kelly: You bet! In 2018–2019 they helped 300,000 kids!

Jane: Incredible! Actually, I think I saw a shop in the high street called Barnando’s.

Kelly: That’s right! Barnando’s is an NGO, so they have to raise money themselves. They do this with charity shops, events and donations. So, what do you say? Do you want to come to the charity event tomorrow?

Jane: Absolutely! I’d love to help!

Hướng dẫn dịch:

Kelly: Xin chào, Jane. Bạn có muốn đến giúp tôi gây quỹ cho Barnado’s không?

Jane: Barnando’s? Đó là cái gì vậy?

Kelly: Đó là một tổ chức từ thiện thực hiện một số điều tuyệt vời để giúp đỡ trẻ em và thanh niên.

Jane: Tuyệt! Thật không vậy?

Kelly: Đúng vậy. Nó được gọi là Barnando’s bởi vì một người tên là Thomas John Barnando đã thành lập nó. Anh ấy đến từ Ireland và anh đến Luân Đôn để đào tạo trở thành một bác sĩ. Khi nhìn thấy những đứa trẻ vô gia cư và bệnh tật ở Luân Đôn, anh ấy quyết định làm điều gì đó để giúp đỡ. Đó là một tổ chức từ thiện rất lâu đời.

Jane: Tổ chức bắt đầu từ khi nào vậy?

Kelly: Vào năm 1867 và tổ chức vẫn giúp ích cho trẻ em cho đến ngày nay!

Jane: Ôi! Lâu đời thật đấy! Vậy ngày nay họ làm những việc gì?

Kelly: Tổ chức từ thiện hỗ trợ thanh thiếu niên, bảo vệ trẻ nhỏ và giúp cung cấp giáo dục.

Jane: Thật tuyệt. Có vẻ như họ thực sự tạo ra sự khác biệt.

Kelly: Đúng đấy! Trong năm 2018–2019, họ đã giúp 300 000 trẻ em!

Jane: Không thể tin được! Trên thực tế, tôi nghĩ rằng tôi đã nhìn thấy một cửa hàng ở đại lộ tên là Barnando’s.

Kelly: Đúng vậy! Barnando’s là một tổ chức phi chính phủ nên họ phải tự huy động tiền. Họ gây quỹ với các cửa hàng từ thiện, các sự kiện và việc quyên góp. Vậy bạn thì sao? Bạn có muốn đến tham dự buổi từ thiện vào ngày mai không?)

Jane: Chắc chắn rồi! Tôi rất muốn giúp đỡ!

GIRLS AUTO CLINIC

Patrice Banks was from a poor family, but she was very intelligent. She studied science at university and became a chemical engineer at a big company in Philadelphia, USA. She earned a good salary and wore smart clothes and high heels in the office. At work, she was respected, but there was one thing she really hated – taking her car to the mechanic! She didn’t understand how her car worked and she felt that the young, male mechanics were behaving to her as if she was stupid. She tried searching for a female mechanic instead ... but she couldn’t find a single one.

That’s why, in her thirties, Patrice learnt to be a mechanic at a night school. Then, she quit her job and worked in a repair shop before opening her own - Girls Auto Clinic. Here, Patrice wears high heels, but she’s still serious about her job. Her shop has an all-female staff and an on-site beauty salon, so customers can fix their hair and nails while Patrice and her team are fixing their cars! Patrice also runs workshops for women to help them understand how their cars work and how to fix them.
