And that time is all too often unexpected such as earthquakes, floods, fires, storms and so many disasters that all require a gift of blood. We don't know who will need blood transfusion tomorrow. It can be your friend or dear one. So we should take action right away.
II. There are three benefits about donating blood.
A. According to the Taiwan Blood Services Foundation, donors will have priority over others to be given blood.
B. Besides, donating blood is good for the heart. It may reduce the risk of heart disease of men and stimulate the generation of red blood cells. Recent studies have shown that men who gave blood three times a year reduced their risk of a heart attack by more than 50 percent.

III. Here are some frequently asked questions that I want to answer to my audience.
A. Is donating blood safe? Will I get hepatitis B or AIDS from donation blood?
Donating blood is a safe process. Needles and bags used to collect blood are used only once and then discarded. There is no risk of contracting AIDS or any other disease through the donation process.
The vast majority of people will not feel any different because of the donation. A very small percentage may experience temporary dizziness, but some rest and fluids will help you feel better quickly. Your body will replace the lost blood within 24 hours.
IV. I want to evoke positive emotions:
We are just students we don't make lots of money so it's not affordable for we students to make a financial gift. But donating blood to help others gives we poor students no burden at all. It is and easy way to help people in this society.
