After reading the text and analyzing the advertisement about voluntourism, we can write a paragraph in the following manner (the paragraph has been divided into two parts for better readability):
- The text emphasizes how voluntourism can actually help keep people and animals in poor conditions rather than helping them live a better life. According to someone interviewed by the author, "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."
- The advertisement, on the other hand, aims to attract voluntourists by making voluntourism sound as an amazing and inspiring experience in which real help is given to poor and needy communities. It mentions "opportunities that will not only change your life but also make the world a better, brighter place."
- Both texts focus on voluntourism. A voluntourist is someone who travels abroad with the purpose of helping people in poor or developing countries. Vonluntourists may help teach English, build houses, etc.
- However, the first text shows the dark side of voluntourism. It explains how communities around the world are kept in poor conditions in order to attract tourists.
- The second text, which is and ad, on the other hand, promotes voluntourism as something great, making it seem as if a voluntourist will actually make a difference in people's lives.
