Do You Give to Charity?! (Conversation Club)

This week the ‘Thinking in English’ Community is talking about giving to charity!

Charity has existed for a long time, and it can have many forms. People give their money, their things and their time to support others who need help.

As well as personal charity, there are countless charitable organisations that work locally and globally. Governments themselves also donate both at home and abroad.

Here are 10 conversation questions to get you talking about giving to charity!
