17.I love charity (慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street.The charity shop is a British institution,selling everything from clothes to electric goods,all at very good prices.You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore.The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies,and you are not damaging the planet,but finding a new home for unwanted goods.The first charity shop was opened in 1947by Oxfam.The famous charity's appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful that it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物).They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal.Now there are over 7,000charity shops in the UK.My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop,where I always find children's books,all 10or 20pence each.
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers,although there is often a manager who gets paid.Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public.Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops,though they don't encourage this.They would rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.
The shops have very low running costs:all profits go to charity work.Charity shops raise more than£110million a year,funding (资助) medical research,overseas aid,supporting sick and poor children,homeless and disabled people,and much more.What better place to spend your money?You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense.You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.
