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 languages. There is also math, science, history 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.
