Clothes Donation( 捐赠 ) Box

　　Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend( 趋势 ) in Urumqi.

　　“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we

　　teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others. ” Lin Tao, a junior student says.

　　“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box. ” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

　　“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”

　　However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:

　　◆ The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.

　　◆ Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.

　　◆ Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.

　　◆ Many clothes are too old and shabby( 破烂的 ).

　　“What’s worse,” one of the staff in a community added, “We qutie often see people throw rubbish

　　into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”

　　In order to make the donation box work in an efficient( 有 效 的 ) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.
