امتحان نهائي لغة انجليزية - جمال شريتح
A-
Some people say you need a lot of money in order to help a charity, and if they don’t have this, they do nothing. Having money is important, but in reality all you need is determination and a little time. I’ve been trying to persuade people in my community to help an environmental charity by donating just a few coins each week. At first people were not keen, but my persistence has paid off and now a lot of people give me a little money - and that is really helping the charity.
B-
As far as I’m concerned, social media is the obvious way to get your message across. All you need to do is to pay for a good Internet connection which most people have anyway these days. On a more personal level, I let my friends know my views on social networks and I would support a campaign to protect animal rights.
C-
Last year, I joined a group that wanted to clean up one of the beaches near Aqaba, where I live. It is very popular with tourists who often leave litter there. I used to go to the beach every weekend and pick up the litter, all for free! I soon realised that volunteering like this helped but didn’t solve the problem. The only way is to change tourists’ attitudes to litter. We have encouraged the council to put more litter bins around the beaches as well as signs reminding people not to litter in English.
