问题     Sophie is from London, while Mohammed is from Sierra Leone. They are two teenagers with very different lives, but their lives are connected through charity. Sophie is taking part in a huge national event that raises money for people in the UK and abroad—a sponsored run for Sport Relief. Mohammed’s village has a new well that was paid for with money from the same event. Every year Sport Relief and its sister charity, Comic Relief, raise money for good causes. By the end of this year, people will have completed more than 350 events. These events include marathons, football matches, talent shows and baking competitions, and when they are all completed, they will have raised over ￡50 million. That’s enough money to transform the lives of thousands of people. Over the next few years, this money will be helping people like Mohammed.

    According to recent research, the UK is the fifth most generous nation in the world. Charities are an important part of British society, and some of the world’s biggest and most famous organisations, such as Oxfam and Save the Children, started in the UK. Today, there are over 160,000 charities, and more than three quarters(79%)of people donate money or volunteer time every month.
    Many people make regular donations to big charities that aid poor people in different countries. Other people buy products from their online shops. Smaller charities address more local issues and rely on smaller events, like car boot sales and fun runs. They also rely on volunteers for the day-to-day running of these projects.
    Teenagers play a big role in this culture of giving. A recent World Vision study showed that 69% of teens are aware of the needs of others thanks to the Internet and globalisation. And although teens may not have much money to give, they often help in other ways. They volunteer their free time. In the UK, more than a third of teenagers have given time to charities in the last year. In fact, supporting a charity is part of everyday life, and young people are the new champions of this culture.
