Play and feed a hungry person!

Find out how your language skills can feed the world on http://www.freerice.com/. This website offers a fun vocabulary test with 50 different levels. For each right word that players guess, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN World Food Program.

I tried the test on my own and was surprised that the vocabulary was quite difficult. Words Iike scrape, beckon or lumber were thrown at me and I had no idea what they meant. After a few tries and a number of wrong answers, the site decided to change the vocabulary level for me. The words got easier and I ended up donating 400 grains of rise in less than 5 minutes. It was great to see how each right word filled the plates of rise, and to learn a lot of new words. So play today, help feed a hungry person and improve your English-skills!
