Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh(爱丁堡公爵), is the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. He died the morning of April 9 this year, at the age of 99. He was the longest-serving royal consort(亲王) in British history and his death was a historic moment for the UK. I first saw the news online, I thought it was fake, but after I checked the news, I realized it was true.
News said that Prince Philip" inspired the lives of countless young people". At First, I was puzzled at how he had inspired young people. But then I remembered the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Awards, which I am part of. These awards (found) by Prince Philip and they focus on helping young people to build (skill), confidence and resilience(坚韧).
I started taking part in DofE Awards in Year 9. To earn a DofE award, you need (complete) at least three months' worth of activities in three areas: volunteering, physical recreation, as well as going on a camping trip that you plan in groups. The awards are for young people the ages of 14 and 25. I found the camping trip to be (important) because it teaches you how to work with people and how to plan things. Some friends of (I) who have taken part in the DofE awards think they are incredibly motivational(有激励作用的).
The royal family has always faced criticism (批评), many people support them because they have made valuable contributions to charity and education not just in the UK, but in other countries as well.
