Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which do you think is the best?
I think health is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care. Robin, aged 16, Birmingham |
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is an old saying, "If you give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime." We need to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears. Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool |
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster（灾难）like the earthquake. It's good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary（工资）to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference. Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on-Avon |
Giving money to charity can help, but it's not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government. Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle |
The best thing we can do is to send experts（专家）like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves. Robert, aged 16, Cardiff |

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it patience（耐心）. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends staying home .

Many people are shy when talking to new people. meeting strangers means seeing the unknown. And it's human nature to feel a bit about the unknown. Most of fears（恐惧）about new people come from doubts（怀疑）. We imagine other people are us-finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the same way.
