Red Nose Day
Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the
day is to raise money for Comic Relief. This is a charity that helps people
in need in Africa and in the UK.
Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous
films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill”. Richard started
Comic Relief in response to the severe famine in Ethiopia. It’s called
Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear!
The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.
Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring. It is now so
well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national
holiday.
The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money.” The
money that was collected was used to help fund projects in such areas as
education and mental health. Money-raising events take place on this day
all over the country and many schools participate. People also donatemoney by post, inbanks, by phone using a credit card and online.
In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV
channels. This is like a television marathon (马拉松)that shows some of
the events of the day and reports how the money raised will be spent. People
also upload videos of local charity events onto the Internet.
So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day,you will know why you
find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It’s all
for a good cause!
