About three people recommended www.freerice.com to me before I went there to see what all the fuss is about this site. Free Rice is a website where, you, the user, can test/improve your vocabulary at the same time provide rice to hungry people … all for free.
From the site’s “about” page they state it quite simply (see below). What they don’t tell you is how fun (and addictive) it is. Give it a try!
“FreeRice has two goals:
1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you.”
