【正文】 ter supplies and better health care. — Robin, aged 16, Birmingham I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries.

It’s good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary(工資 ） to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference. — Mary, aged 14, Stratford Giving money to charity can help, but it’s not the final answer.

D In almost every big university in the United States football is a favorite sport. American football is not like soccer Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it.
