Free Rice

Recently read a news for this on the local newspaper. The Free Rice website, provide you a chance to learn new vocabs for free (nothing special for this though... haha), but the most meaningful thing is, at the same time, you can do charity too!

If you have selected an answer correctly, they will donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations, for those hungry people for free. All you need to do is to find the correct meaning for the word, from the 4 options below, just by one simple click, you can help people.

10 grains of rice, for most of the people like us, means nothing much, but imagine if there is millions of internet users around the world click on it in one day, there will be a numerous figure. And it has been proved by the satistics on the site: since it first launched on 7 Oct 2007, up till Nov 12, the total rice that has been donated has reached 1,519,627,180 grains. It's amazing, right?

So why don't you just start from now on, go to the website, learn some new words, and give a helping hand to those in need.
