I want to write an article about charity. Can you help me think of a beginning and an end?

I want to talk about my personal experience in England. I remember when I first came here, I was confused by people begging passers-by with little red buckets on their backs in downtown. Even beggars in developed countries wear such decent clothes? Later, I noticed that the names of organizations such as "Cancer Foundation" were printed on these little red buckets. And those who run around in the cold wind and beg in the downtown are volunteers who raise money for charity. Later, I gradually learned more about British philanthropy. There are many charity shops on the street, displaying all kinds of secondhand goods, which are donated by ordinary people for free, and the prices are quite cheap. The money sold is managed by the corresponding foundation as a charity fund and distributed to those in need.

Although as a poor international student, I don't have much money on me, I may be infected by the atmosphere here. When I pass by the little red bucket, I will also donate the change in my pocket. Clothes that you don't usually wear are also donated to charity shops. The operation of charity shops is mainly completed by volunteers, and advertisements seeking volunteers and donations are often posted on the glass of the shops. I often see traditional English old ladies wearing skirts, stockings and lipstick in shops, although they walk slowly. Charity shops kill two birds with one stone, which can not only let the poor people buy suitable goods at low prices, but also send warmth to those in need. My company law teacher once joked that when he graduated and applied for a job, he bought a 6-pound suit in a charity shop.

There is also a teacher who teaches international tax law and works part-time in the firm, so it can be said that the income is good. In the last class of our second semester, he suddenly wore a clown suit and had a little red ball hanging on his nose, giving us a lecture! Everyone laughed and took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the teachers, and the teachers also cooperated with each other to pose. After laughing, the teacher took out a white paper box and donated money! It turns out that this is a funny relief day-Red Nose Day, an annual fund-raising activity in Britain. The teacher said with a big smile, he is going to meet customers this afternoon, so he is going to wear this dress, so there should be a lot of gains! It turned out that it was not the teacher's maverick. On "Red Nose Day", Britain is full of red noses. It is really unusual to raise money in this "indecent" way, and the donation record has reached a new high every year.

At the end of the semester, I joined the ranks of volunteers myself. As an assistant to the British Citizens' Advisory Committee. This is a non-governmental non-profit organization, which provides all kinds of consulting services to the public free of charge, including consumer rights, legal affairs, employment relations, immigration and so on. Consultants are also volunteers, some of whom are lawyers. After systematic training, they will set aside a few hours a week, voluntarily answer questions for the public, and sometimes act as their agents to fight for their due rights and interests. People come to consult every day in an endless stream. Consultation questions are recorded as a reflection of social problems. Of course, it is very important to keep the information provided by the public absolutely confidential. When I was an undergraduate in China, I also participated in the legal aid center for college students, which was similar in nature to the citizen advisory Committee. But the difference is that the scope of the legal aid center for college students is not wide enough, the number of sponsors is limited, and the operation lacks financial support.

Generally speaking, the scope of charitable activities in China is not wide enough, mainly due to the lack of well-organized institutions. Charitable foundations in Britain are worth learning from. Secondly, the support and encouragement of the state is very important. For example, donations can be exempted from the corresponding amount of income tax. Third, the transparency of donation expenditure. If there is a clear expenditure list and the corresponding supervision mechanism, people will not doubt where their donations have gone, and will encourage more people to "give love" with confidence. Suddenly I heard someone shouting excitedly outside the window: "It's snowing, come and see!" I quickly turned off the TV and rushed downstairs, only to see the silvery white "pearls" falling all over the sky in the drizzle, just like a fairy's dance skirt and an angel's white dress.
