Charity

What i enjoy most working in the Charity shop is being on the till speaking whith people ,not only because is the best way of learning english but i feel really useful helping people making their life a bit easier.Generally i go there twice or third per week.Usually i spend the first couple of hours having a look if all the staff that we´ve got in the back is in good conditions because otherwise we have to throw it away .Afterwards i spent the rest of my shift on the till with my manager chatting about many things such as history, England....
Our Charity raises funds to support people who live with AIDS and also ,they own a house in Brighton where this people go there to receive their treatment and also phsycological support.In the shop you can find wherever you want since music and books till clothes, china ...
Having said this if you wanna give us a hand let me know..
Ciao..

I,ve got a doubt;: is possible to say contributing(to contribute)

    yes you can use the verb contribute:
    to make a contribution to charity
    you sort the contributions
    you contribute money to charity

    how u use "having said that" is inappropriate. you use the phrase to modify a statement you have already made. example:

    i never eat sugar. having said that i did have a biscuit earlier.

    compare your version with mine and note ur mistakes!

    next time id like you to try and use some of the vocabulary from this week. a question for you: what issues do you feel most strongly about and what have you ever done anything to make a difference? (if you dont like my question ignore it! but somehow write something which allows you to use the vocab)

    later
