1.00 Saying "NO" to bullies!
Bullying is when someone continually insults or hurts you. Many young people are
bullied at school. But there are some positive ways to solve the problem.
Tom Cruise, Peter Andre, and Michelle Pfeiffer have something in common: they were
all bullied at school. These stars that bullying does not necessarily stop you from being
successful, says Kids cape, a children's organization in Britain.
Kids cape has some original ways of stopping bullies. The "bully box", for example, is a
box in school where students put notes about bullying. The important thing is to tell an
adult about the bully.
Teachers usually learn how to recognize when a kid is being bullied but sometimes
schools can't solve the problem. In a recent case in Britain, the police arrested a 16-
year-old girl for bullying a 12-year-old girl. The younger girl's mother said the school
hadn't solved the problem, which had become very serious. So she went to the
police. But most bullies are stopped by the school or by the kids themselves. At the
Martial Arts for Peace association in America, Dr Terence Webster-Doyle suggests
discussing the problem openly with the bully. Dr Webster-Doyle teaches martial arts for
self-defense, not for fighting. He says that if you know you can defend yourself, "you are
not afraid of the other ".

1.00
AFRICA
Africa is the second–largest continent after Asia. It also has the second–largest
population after Asia. About one billion people live in Africa. That is almost 15% of the
world’s population. There are currently 54 countries on the continent of Africa, when
including island countries and the Western Sahara. The number of countries sometimes
changes because many of the countries were made by colonial powers. Colonial
powers are countries that made colonies in Africa when it was first being discovered by
outsiders.
Africa is a rainy place and a dry place. Africa mainly lies within the intertropical zone
between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Only the northernmost and
the southernmost fringes of the continent have a Mediterranean climate because they
aren't located under the tropics. Because of this geographical situation, Africa is a hot
continent as the solar radiation intensity is always high.
There are about 2,000 different languages in Africa. Most of the languages belong to
one of four large language groups. The four large language groups are Afro-Asiatic,
Nilo-Saharan, Niger-Congo, and the Khoisan languages. People also speak some non–
African languages in Africa. About 20% of the population speak Arabic, mostly in
northern Africa. About 10% speak Swahili, mostly in southeastern Africa. About 5%
speak Hausa, mostly in western Africa. Many people also speak English, French, and
Portuguese. One African country, Nigeria, has 250 different languages!
Africa has many natural resources. There are eight oil exporting countries in Sub–
Saharan Africa. They are Nigeria, Angola, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, Equatorial
Guinea, Cameroon, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Sudan. Africa
has about 7% of the oil reserves in the world. South Africa is the largest gold producer
in the world. Ghana, Mali, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Rwanda and the DRC also have a lot
of gold. The DRC has copper and cobalt. The DRC produces 22% of world’s diamonds
every year. Botswana, Sierra Leone, and South Africa also have a lot of diamonds.
Mozambique, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, and Liberia all have a lot
of timber, which is wood. The business in gas, oil diamonds, timber and tourism is very
good.
Many African countries became free after World War II. Some countries became free in
a peaceful way. Some countries had to fight to be free. The time after colonial rule is
commonly referred to as “post–colonial Africa.” Post–colonial Africa has had some very
big problems. After the colonial powers left, there were problems with government.
Between 1960 and 1980, there were 70 coups. (pronounced “koo”) A coup is the
overthrow of a government. There were 13 presidential assassinations. That means 13
African presidents were murdered. In the 1970s, there was a huge famine in Ethiopia. A
famine is a time of little or no food. Hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation,
which means they died of hunger. There have been wars. There has been a big conflict
in Dafur, Sudan, and many people have died. And the AIDS (Acquired
Immunodeficiency Syndrome) disease has caused much sickness and death in post–
colonial Africa
The continent of Africa is rich with resources, people and culture. Unfortunately, this has
contributed to its chaotic history. Africa is currently working on increasing education and
jobs. Many organizations are working together to build schools, hospitals, and industry
to improve the future of the African nation.
