Here are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which one 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 people to help |
themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears(出现). |
―Rebecca , aged 15 , Liverpool |
|
People seem to give a lot more money to charity(慈善机构)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 we should give a small part of our salary(工资)to charity as well. 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 |

My granddaughter,10. was very happy the day before yesterday because her mother and the mother of one of her classmates took them to a park and a Pizza Hut (比萨饼屋) to celebrate Children's Day.

Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me. Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Fd left the lights on all day,and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership―a shop selling cars―was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say " thank you" ,and it meant so much.
