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.Spots 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.

BADD
Who are the top students in the world, do you know? Last week the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (经济合作与发展组织) picked the best students in the world. They are Finnish (芬兰的). The OECD gave a test to 280 000 15-year-old students from more than 40 countries and regions (地区) last year. The OECD wanted to know how well students were doing at school.
Finnish students were No. 1 in the reading test and second in maths after Hong Kong students. Those from Japan and Finland were top in science. In the problem solving, Finnish students came second to those from South Korea. The test also showed Finland had more top students than the other countries.
Finns (芬兰人) of your age have done a really good job but don't have a sense of envy. You can learn from them. Most Finnish students make good use of the Internet. Of course not for computer games, but for doing more exercises and finding out more information.
Libraries are also important. Finland spends a lot of money on them. Many students have a free card. They read for at least one or two hours a day.
