JustGiving
About us
JustGiving is the world’s leading platform for charity giving. Since our launch in 2001, we’ve
enabled over 21 million people to raise £1.5 billion for over 13,000 charities and causes in
radically new ways. Our job is to make giving and raising money for charity simple, social
and rewarding. Through online and mobile we bring the best that technology has to offer
to charities worldwide – which explains why more charities recommend JustGiving than any
other online fundraising platform.
Are you ready to start fundraising? It couldn’t be easier:
● Make your page
● Share it with your friends
● Raise money for your charity
Trekking: Looking for an adventure, something to tone your thighs and raise money for
charity? Dig out those boots. The average amount raised by an active trekking page in 2010
was £1,266 – more than double the average for other pages. 14,865 trekking pages were
created in 2010.
Food forfeit: A little sacrifice can go a long way when it comes to fundraising. Love cheese?
Chocolate? Chillies? Get sponsored for abstaining and turn your loss into your favourite
charity’s gain.
Birthday: Always told you’re hard to buy for? Save your friends and family hours of traipsing
round the shops – ask for donations to a cause you care about instead. The number of
birthday pages created increased by 21% from 2009 to 2010. A birthday page attracts an
average of 14 donations.

Section 9
48 Choose one of the topics below and write your answer in 100–150 words.
Either:
A We want to hear your opinion! Tell us why school is important, and why you should
bother to get a high school diploma. The best responses will be published here in
your school newspaper.
Or:
B Do computers save people time or do they cause people to waste more time?
Write an essay. Give reasons and examples to support your ideas.
Put a cross in the box next to the task you have chosen.
A B x
Computers undeniably save people time in various aspects of life, but they also have
...................................................................................................................................................................................... 48E
the potential to induce time-wasting behaviors. On one hand, computers streamline
......................................................................................................................................................................................
tasks such as communication, research, and data processing, resulting in increased 48F
......................................................................................................................................................................................
efficiency and productivity. For instance, email allows for instant correspondence,
...................................................................................................................................................................................... 48R
cutting down on the time spent waiting for traditional mail. Similarly, search engines
......................................................................................................................................................................................
48A
provide quick access to vast amounts of information, eliminating the need for time-
......................................................................................................................................................................................
consuming manual searches. However, computers can also lead to time wastage
...................................................................................................................................................................................... 48C
through distractions like social media, online gaming, and mindless browsing. These
......................................................................................................................................................................................
48OC
activities can consume hours without any productive outcome. Therefore, while
......................................................................................................................................................................................
computers offer immense time-saving benefits when used judiciously, it's crucial for 48WI
......................................................................................................................................................................................
individuals to exercise discipline and prioritize tasks to avoid falling into the trap of
......................................................................................................................................................................................
excessive time-wasting behaviors facilitated by technology.
