    Two months ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my workmate（同事）,Chris. We decided to drive across the country after the meeting. The drive would take four days and most of it was across the desert（沙漠）.

    The first day was a lot of fun because we were happy to hear each other's jokes（玩笑）. But on the third day, we began to get bored. We were quite quiet for some hours when Chris saw some kangaroos（袋鼠）.We were both excited and decided to take a closer look. Chris drove very quickly to catch up with（趕上）them. We got closer and closer when we heard a loud BANG!

    Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a large kangaroo lying on the ground. Chris went over to it and put his cap on its head. He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. I took out my camera. When I was focusing（調(diào)整焦距）the camera, I saw the kangaroo move(移動(dòng)). It suddenly woke up, and ran away before we could do anything.

    I started laughing but Chris looked worried. He said his wallet was in the jacket. I started laughing even louder. I stopped laughing when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket.

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

      Education（教育）

      School is expensive for many African children. Lots of families can't afford（支付不起）school uniforms（校服）or exercise books even though（盡管）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 maths, science, history, social（社會(huì)的）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（日常）fun

    It's not all work and no play. Sports are very popular. Children can make goals（球門(mén)） with twigs（樹(shù)枝）and their own footballs with string（繩子）. They play in the country（鄉(xiāng)村）and streets of old towns. There're many football teams for young people in Africa.

    Internet

    It's really expensive to get on the Internet. To get online （上網(wǎng)）for 20 hours costs over 600 yuan. Most people don't have enough money for the fee（費(fèi)用）. Egypt（埃及）and South Africa are the top two users（用戶）of the Internet in Africa. All the people in the two countries can get on Internet.

    Some schools offer（提供）computer lessons but few students can enjoy computer fun at home.

    My name is Katie and I'm 13 years old. I wanted to do sports with a dog at the age of nine, but I couldn't find a right dog. When I was 11, my parents gave me a dog. His name is Dusty. I found Dusty perfect for me: he is fast, strong and likes to make me happy. I knew that this was the pet dog I wanted.

    I began his early training (訓(xùn)練)in a park when he was about 6 months old. I used anything I could find to make him jump. I used lots of food to train Dusty to practice jumping happily again and again. These months, I'm training Dusty to sit. It is easier for me. Let me show you how to do it.

    To train your dog to sit, just give him a treat-a piece of dog food will work, say "sit," hold it up and move it back over his head. Most dogs will just sit so they can watch the food. When the dog sits, give him the treat and say "good sit."

    If dogs don't sit when you hold the treat over their heads, you can push（推）their heads down. Remember to treat them when the dog's hindquarters（臀部及后腿）touch the ground.

    If you or your friends dislike school, try to do the following things and it can help you.

    First, write down everything you don't like about school. Then make a list（清單）of

the good things you enjoy. Even if（即使）it's the lunch, that's a start!

    Now, you should think what you can change on the "don't like" list. Here are some

examples. Can you get help with school work if that's hard? Do you have a friend to talk

with when you meet a problem? Could you find a way to tell others your special interests<興

趣）? If you made just one new friend, would you feel less lonely（孤單）?Which activities

could you try to help you meet new friends? Of course, you might not be able to change

everything on your "don't like" list. A bully（恃強(qiáng)凌弱）can not disappear（消失）. Reading

may always be hard work but that's OK. Focus on（關(guān)注）what you can change and you

might love school again!
