Task. A. Henderson is a small town with only 1,250 residents. The people are friendly and
many of them know each other. Henderson is a nice place to live because it has many parks, a
low crime rate, and good schools. Unfortunately, there aren't many jobs in Henderson. Residents
have to travel to larger cities to find work. This wasn't a problem in the past when the economy
was good. But this year, one-fourth of the adults in Henderson are unemployed. The mayor is
asking residents to volunteer to collect cans of food and used clothes for the poor and to deliver
hot meals to the elderly.
