Do you want to know something about chil­dren in Africa? What to they do for fun every day? Find out here:

Education

School is expensive for many African children. Lots of families can’t afford school uniforms or ex­ercise books even though they don’t have to pay for school.

For those lucky enough to go to school , they have a lot to learn. Some take two language clas­ses: English or French, and their first language. There is also math, science, history, social studies and geography. Chores take up much of children’s time after school. They have to get water and fire­wood for the family every day. Also there’s clean­ing , washing and helping Mum with the meal.

Daily fun

It’s not all work and no play. Sports are very popular. Children can make goals with twigs ( 嫩树枝)and their own footballs with plastic and bits of string ( 绳子 ). They play in the country and the streets of old towns. There’re many football teams for teenagers in Africa.

Internet

It’s really expensive to get on the Internet. To surf the net for 20 hours costs over 600 yuan. This is more than the average (平均的) monthly pay per person.

Egypt and South Africa are the top two users of the Internet in Africa. All of the capital cities there can get on the Internet.

Even in early time, people could realize the important of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).

Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naïve. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.

Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.

Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.

To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

     Steve Morris was not a typical child. But when he was nine, his    1    to be typical was very strong.
Of all the people Steve remembered, one woman, his primary-school teacher, Mrs Beneduci,    2     in
his mind. Mrs Beneduci was a wise person. She realized that mere words to a kid    3     not carry much
weight. So instead, with the secret aid of a little mouse, she found a    4    to show Steve his real talent.
     One day Mrs Beneduci began her   5    with the question: who was Abraham Lincoln? Amy was
required to answer it. She said in a   6    voice, "Uh…he, uh, had a beard." The students burst into 7     . "Steve?" said the teacher. Steve stood up and   8   confidently, "He was the 16th President of the United
States."
       9    with Steve's performance, the teacher then added that Abraham Lincoln had been President
during the Civil War…Then she stopped,      10    she was listening to something. It sounded like a
mouse. The little girls screamed. Some stood on their chairs. Mrs Beneduci tried to    11    the students
down, and asked Steve to find the poor little creature.
     Steve sat straight up in his chair and asked everybody to be     12    . In the sudden stillness he
raised  his head, hesitated for a moment, and   13     to the wastebasket. "He's right over there!" said
Steve   14     " I can hear him!"
     And so he was: a frightened little mouse that was    15    beneath  the wastepaper, hoping to go
   16    . Nature gave him a remarkable pair of    17    to make up for his blindness. In the heart of
small, sightless Steve a pride was born, and that pride is with him still.     18     the incident,
Mrs Beneduci would continue to     19     his talent, and she always reminded Steve of the little
mouse.

world.
