In order to encourage people to give more money to charity,a banquet(宴會)is to be held in the Great Hall of the People.Ordinary（普通的）people can pay to attend the dinner.This is the first such event held in China where all the money raised will be given to charity.Until now it was mainly foreign guests and important people that were invited to the Great Hall.Entrance tickets will cost from 1,800 yuan to 38,000 yuan.The money will be spent on training young people from poor areas.“Chinese people give far less to charity than people in some other countries,”said some foreign experts.Microsoft’s Bill Gates,the richest man in the world,has donated US＄23 billion in the past four years,about half of his fortune.“If I had enough money ,I would like to buy a ticket as I want to help poor teenagers,” said Liu Chang,a Senior 2 girl from Anhui Province.“Of course,the chance to have dinner in the Great Hall of the People is also quite attractive to me.” Liu added that she had donated hundreds of yuan to charity projects organized by her school to help schoolmates in need of money.There has been an increasing trend(潮流) towards giving money to charities.In 1998,11 billion yuan was collected to help the victims in the Yangtze River’s catastrophic(災(zāi)難的)flood.Today more than 100 million Chinese volunteer to help charities.
