charity shop
, also called a thrift store
. I’ll teach you sentences you can use to ask for a volunteer position at a charity shop. You’ll also learn important vocabulary about the things you will find in a British charity shop. Spending time in this environment is an excellent way for you to improve your English. In London and across the UK there are many charity volunteering opportunities. I’ll also tell you about the biggest charity shop chains and a teach you a little bit about them.

This is my first test with engvid, I like your learning’s method. I also really appreciated this subject that you’ve imparted extremely well, Thank you Gill
Good day, Gill. Thank you so much for your and your collegues gob.
Once I visited that kind of shop and was suprised very much with prices. I didn`t speak english well those days. If I had known that it was for charity, I would certainly have bought something. So, it is one more evidence for studing english. We don`t have charity shops in Russia, only second hand shops. But people in need can obtain help at churches. We distribute
9 out of 10 guess it’s not bad as it was the last answer was wrong

Thank you very much Jill, you are a wonderful teacher. In the last question on the quiz, Is “Italian cooking” a autobiography ?
Hi Arthxs — Italian cooking would go in the Cookery section … unless it’s an autobiography by someone who has spent their entire life doing Italian cooking and nothing else! ;-)
Thank you very much!

Thank You Gill. It’s good to know that in a charity shop I could improve my english language skills before I will start to job in another country. Thanks for this advice.
Hello Gill , Hello everybody,
Thank you Gill for this lesson . More than a lesson it is an invitation to volunteer . It is good to remind us that we can spend time sometimes not for nothing but to get something better than money . No problem If we haven’t time enough to volunteer as we can also go as much as we can to the numerous charity shops that exist either to give things that are no longer of use or buy things and in this way help charity shops to raise money for those in need . Some charity shops employ people that have got rough lives , helping them is give support to these victims of life .
So sorry that thrift stores still exist cause that means that we don’t all make a good living but while waiting for a better solution ” go and enjoy charity shops , donators , volunteers , customers you’ll never regret it .
See you bye
Hello, i agree with you about the importance of charity shops and the donation they give, personally, i love this kind of activities, and i wish one day i could be a volunteer in any charity shop. donation make us happy.
thank you i got 8/10

“So” at the end of the sentence
Thank you.
thank you so much for making this website. it’s so useful for me
Hi Gill!
Great lesson again, thank you. I consider very noble of yours to choose this important social subject while you teach English.
I really would like to buy things in a charity store if I knew one near to my house. Mainly books (I love reading!). By the way, I am reading at the moment a biography called “Life of Harriet Beecher Stowe”, who is my favourite writer, and I am enjoying it a lot.
See you in your next lesson!
Hi Gill! Thank you a lot for teaching us this lesson and congratulations for your job on Engvid!
thx & do help a lot
Thank you
Thanks Gill, for this lesson and this tip!
Through the Internet, I think we can help some volunteer works and learn English as well, like when developing free software or helping to expand the Wikipedia, for instance, but I have to try a little more to validate this theory. I see this as an option, if someone doesn’t have a charity shop with English speaking persons near.
Thanks Gill
thank you Gill. I got 10/10 :)

Also,I’d like to pay your attention to the mistake in the description of this video.It’s in the last sentence where there should be the pronoun ‘I’ instead of the article ‘a’ before the word ‘teach’.

“Sometimes a charity shop will put a notice in the window asking for volunteers. If there is no notice in the window, you can: – cry.” :) Ha-ha! I like Jill’s lessons not only for their high quality but also for the subtle humour which Jill put in her lessons.
Thank you for your excellent lessons, Jill. All the best!
I really enjoyed this lesson, thanks Gill.

The first pf all, thanks for this lesson which we help to have more vocabulary words, and a big thanks for this subject “charity shop”, it’s very important to have a charity shop in all countries and cities to help homeless people and poor people in their hard life, as a Muslim, i have to be volunteer to do this activities of charity, because God and prophet Mohamed we demanded to do that all time we can.
Thanks Gill. You are the best! :)
Excellent!
I got 9/10. Thank you Gill to taking the time to teach us! :)
Hello Gill. How are you? I had gone to New Zealand for 24 weeks, and study English in Auckland. I tried voluntary work at St johns charity shop. But I went there once on 22/03/2020. Whole New Zealand turned on lockdown (Level 4). Because coronavirus. I’m pleasant. I was following a right way, to learn
English. Thank very much for tips.
