Free Rice - Increase English Vocabulary and Feed the World’s Hungry
Undoubtedly I am coming lately to Free Rice. Go to this website, take the vocabulary tests, a fun game, and for each correct answer, you will not only build your vocabulary but you will also donate 20 grains of free rice towards feeding the hungry people of the world. The website makes money through sponsors advertising, enough to keep up with the millions of grains of rice earned by the players. Personally, I am not satisfied with my English vocabulary and so I am looking for ways to increase my word power and skills. This site is helpful (not as helpful as reading good literature) but nevertheless, helpful. To make matters better, I can also donate rice toward eradicating the world of malnutrition. All of this occurs without me laying out any money and through my small investment of time, whatever time I decide to dedicate to the increase of my vocabulary.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
We just recently learned about this site too (from Spencer’s Social Studies/English teacher). She has her Middle School students doing this!
good news! I have my children playing the game and feeding the world. I also sent the link to our church’s Fresh Start Microloans, a group intent on cutting $200.00 American or less over two years to start up businesses in the developing world.
