① Zheng Lin is a junior student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Earlier this month, Zheng Lin and his classmates stood on the street with a box to ask people for donations(捐款). Later they gave the money to the poor students in their school.
② Many Chinese students raise money to help people in need. Most of the time, they ask for donations on the street or in the park. And sometimes they also sell things like old books and CDs. Those students have done a great job so far. The money helps the students in poor areas like Yunnan and Gansu with new clothes, pens and pencils.
③ Teenagers in the US make donations too. But they raise money in a different way-by doing something for others. For example, they sell home- made food or hold concerts in their neighborhood to raise money.
④ "Chinese students like to ask for donations, or sell things that parents buy for them," said Ge Daoshun, an expert. "But the US kids like to get donations and give people something useful in return(作为回报). "
⑤ Ge thinks Chinese teenagers should learn to raise money in the" US kids" ways. "In that way, they can show their talents and practice communication. More importantly, they can learn every coin counts. They have 10 work hard to get a donation," he said.
