It must be considered
In my opinion / I think, personally, ...
I agree / I disagree

Possible introductions to the topic and the argumentations

Prüfungsteilnehmer A

there are different ways to get involved in the welfare of society
Captain Tom Moore, who is shown in the picture, showed his volunteer commitment to raising money, for example, by running laps in his garden
he emphasizes thus good example of the wide variety of possibilities of contributing to society, raise money and proofs there is no limit in age

Prüfungsteilnehmer B

the picture shows three volunteers serving meals and supporting Denver's most in-need daytime shelter
especially in the USA, a country without a welfare state as we know it in Germany, daytime shelters are essential for life
because if you don't have a regular income in this country, you can't hope for any support from the state

Topic 2:
comment

Prüfungsteilnehmer C:

the picture shows a young woman giving a panel speech in the Youth Parliament at Westminster
it is important for the young generation to make a contribution in politics
through their contribution a renewal of the often dusty way of thinking of politicians can take place, changes can be initiated and the interests of a generation can be represented
young politicians are needed, because they lay the foundation for our political future

Topic 3:
comment

volunteering gives you direct access and the opportunity to be part of the change
it contains the power to help others
change of one's own point of view, one can thereby appreciate one's own situation more
help bridging the social gap
change in attitude towards fellow human beings; no derogatory treatment of otherness
turning away from consumption towards more solidarity and humanity

Potentials

volunteering gives you the opportunity to make a difference in the world, but also has its limits
usually only a small budget is available for the implementation and execution of ideas
you can never help all those in need $\rightarrow$ which can create a feeling of powerlessness
as the name says, voluntary work is voluntary, so there are often too few volunteers to do justice to all the people who really need help and support

Limitations

establish clubs or a group of committed students
fundraising for good causes
announcing an in a week where the canteen's leftovers are donated to homeless shelters

Ideas for rooting at school

all in all, it can be summarized that our society needs people who are committed to volunteering
each individual must realize what value he or she can then represent for the community and that a change can only be achieved if there are people who have made this their goal
