4. Read Listening Strategy 2. Then listen to three recordings
Speaker 1 I’ve been working for a charity called Safe Houses for three years now, and in that time the number of young people without a home has increased sharply. Charities like ours do not have enough time or money to deal with all the people who require assistance. Only the government can really solve the problem, but unfortunately, homelessness is not a high priority for most people. One of our aims as a charity is to change that. Speaker 2 I was expecting to be one of the youngest people on the Sleep Out, but in fact there were lots of people my age or younger. I think young people care about homelessness – especially when they see people sleeping rough on the streets who need help. Whereas older people often just walk past, maybe because they’re too busy. I suppose that’s why so many young people want to be part of an event like the Big Sleep Out. I’m going to suggest that all of my friends take part next year. Speaker 3 We’re making two proposals for tackling the problem of homelessness in our city. Firstly, for people who are currently sleeping rough, we will provide free places at local youth hostels. And secondly, we’re offering assistance for young, homeless people who need to find work – because we know how difficult it can be to gain employment when you are homeless. With these proposals, we aim to fulfil the promise we made during the election – to make our city a better place for all of its inhabitants.

6. SPEAKING Discuss these questions with your partner
A: What do you think would be the worst thing about being homeless? B: I think it would be the weather. Imagine having to sleep outside in the rain or snow, it would be so uncomfortable and dangerous for your health. A: That's definitely a big challenge. What do you think governments should do to tackle the problem of homelessness? B: I believe they should increase funding for affordable housing programs and rent subsidies to help low-income individuals and families access stable housing. They could also provide more funding for emergency shelters and outreach programs to help people get off the streets. A: That makes sense. And what can individuals do to help the homeless? B: There are many ways to help, such as volunteering at shelters, donating money or supplies, or even just showing kindness and empathy towards homeless people you encounter in your daily life.
