Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

     Community service is becoming an essential requirement of applicants for government-funded scholarships. To be the winners of such funding, not only will you present evidence of their excellence in the field of study you are going to pursue, you will also need to demonstrate how well you have served your communities. Scholarship funds usually target those who are perceived to extend their influence to a wider community following or even during their studies.

     Scholarship applicants are typically asked to write about what they did as volunteers and what were the drivers of their doing so. In such statements, you will need to make self-reflections on the voluntary work and the significance of the outcomes achieved by the work.

    A statement about your community service does not have to be very long. If no word count is given, you should write within 300 words, approximately one page.

    In order to produce a well-written statement, you will need to provide specific details about the services you have done. This means that you should have adequately documented the work you did. Normally, it is helpful to keep a diary of what you did, where and with and for whom plus your self-reflections on each item of work.
