Bài 9: Choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

VOLUNTEERING TO HELP DESERT ANIMALS

Cameron Oliver had a passion for the welfare of desert animals. He received the Abu Dhabi
Award as a community hero for his contributions to society. However, the biggest reason for his
fame may be that he was very small. He was only 11 years old when he began his own campaign
to save camels from eating plastic. “I found out that camels are eating rubbish people leave
behind and it’s killing them,” says the South African boy. “I love animals, so when I saw how
the camels were dying, I thought I had to do something and make a difference to save them.”

He was very excited about receiving this award. He said, “My life changed after I received the
award, because it opened a lot of doors for me. Many people contacted and helped me promote
my campaign.”
