Ｐｕｔ ｔｈｅ Ｆｕｎ Ｂａｃｋ ｉｎｔｏ Ｆｕｎｄｒａｉｓｉｎｇ捐助为乐

父母拿到工签去英国，子女可以随行，而且在英国不用交钱上语言学校 （language school）, 直接免费就读附近的公立学校就好了。英国的公立学校叫state school，公立初高中通常又叫comprehensive school，免考入读（择校原则参见上期school admission），也无学杂费。英国的私立学校叫public school（常译作“公学”，实为private school），入学“门槛”高，教学质量高，收费也不菲，一般中国去的“打工仔”是不会送小孩入这种学校的。

读书不花钱，但老师经常知会家长让学生带零钱去学校。为什么呢？因为英国学校常年举办各种类型的募捐活动，藉以培养学生们关心社会、关爱他人的高尚情怀。为此，他们还设计了一句颇具文采的广告词：Put the fun back into fundraising （在募捐中重拾快乐）。

显然，设计者巧妙地利用fun与fundraising在词形上的部分对应玩了一个小小的文字游戏。

但他们的理由不可谓不充分，宣传工作也颇具鼓动性：

There are many ways in which you can raise funds for children living in poverty and have great fun at the same time.

You can help kids like Kornli and Patrick who lost their parents to AIDS in 2006. We can help give them an education, regular food and a future. You and your class can help.

You could organise your own event. From a school disco to a coffee morning, a sponsored swim to a quiz day. Why not hold a free carol service and ask friends to make donation or even hold a talent competition at school to find the next Robbie Williams or Madonna!

The possibilities are endless, the only limit being your imagination. Whatever you do, you can have fun with your mates, knowing the money you raise will help poor children in need of your support ...

英国的学校不开“政治”和“思品”这样的课程，但是对学生道德素质的培养同样十分重视，只不过他们总是想方设法让这种教育变得轻松而更让人容易接受：

Fundraising for a charity is a very rewarding thing to do. It can help build communication skills and supports personal and planning skills. Most importantly ... its fun!

一句话，募捐为乐！
