Drag the headings with paragraphs A-C of the text ‘Comic Relief’. There is one extra heading that you don`t need to use. A. Comic Relief is an organization which raises money for charities in the UK and Africa. It started in 1985 and began by raising money for people living in extreme poverty in Ethiopia at that time. After a few years, as it got bigger, it started raising money for many more poor communities. Since it started, Comic Relief has raised over $800 million to help people in over 70 countries around the world.

B. So, how does Comic Relief raise so much money? The charity woks to raise money every day of the year, but their most important day is Red Nose Day. It was first started in 1988, and since then, Red Nose Day had become a unique day in the British calendar. It happens every two years and it’s a day when ordinary people and celebrities get together to make money. As the name suggests, everyone wears a plastic red nose as they raise money in schools, at work, at home – anywhere! On television, for several hours during the evening, celebrities and comedians entertain people at the same time as asking them to donate money.

C. The slogan for Red Nose Day is ‘Do something funny for money’. Not all the things people do are funny, however. Sometimes they’re quite difficult – like running 43 marathons in 51 days. But whatever they do, the British people certainly seem to like raising money I this funny way – Red Nose Day in 2011 raised over $ 108 million!
