Pre-reading
Read the lesson title. What do you think the passage is mainly about?
I think that the passage is about the changes in the ways of make donations.
[1] In 2010, a huge earthquake hit Haiti, causing the deaths of over a hundred thousand
people and millions of dollars’ worth of damage. The international community jumped into
action to provide aid. On this occasion, funds were raised with amazing speed—within a
week of the quake, the American Red Cross had raised $22 million. The reason? People
were donating via their mobile phones.
[2] Technological advances have changed how charities work. Gone are the days when
someone knocked on your front door and politely asked you to make a donation. In today’s
world of computers, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, charities can now reach more
people than ever before.
[3] Social media in particular has had a great impact on charity. News of disasters spreads
quickly around the world. This enables charities to raise money extremely quickly, as in
Haiti. And the quicker aid can be delivered, the more lives can be saved. Individual
fundraising has also benefited. Most people are now so well-connected through sites like
Facebook that asking people to contribute to your chosen cause is easier than ever.
[4] New, innovative ways of donating are being thought up all the time. For example, if
you want to support a good cause and keep fit at the same time, you can use an app called
Charity Miles. The app can track the distance you run or cycle. For every kilometer you
cover, the app’s sponsors will make a donation to a charity of your choice. There’s also
SnapDonate, which allows users to donate simply by taking a photo of a charity’s logo with
their smartphone. The app recognizes the logo and allows users to immediately make a
donation through their phones. This cuts out the need for entering payment details on
charity websites, and makes the process of donating small amounts to multiple charities
much simpler.
[5] Apps like these are growing in number, and that can only be a good thing. In the future,
it’s likely that we’ll all be giving to our favorite causes more easily and more often.
