Transcript

Not all large countries have different time zones. China is a very large country but it has only one time zone. In the U. S. there are 11 time zones. It has the highest number of time zones in one country. Some countries change their time according to the seasons to have more daylight. Every country can decide its own time. Samoa permanently changed its time zone in 2011.

Discussion. Do you think time zones are a good idea? Why do you think countries don't all use the same time zone?

Answer:

Yes, I think time zones are a good idea. The Earth rotates, so it's day in some places while it's night in others. Time zones help people follow a schedule based on daylight. Countries don’t all use the same time because their sunrise and sunset times are different. Time zones make daily life more natural and organized.

KAKENYA'S DREAM

In Kenya, school life is not easy for some local Maasai people. In some schools, classes have 70 students in one classroom. Schools don’t always have books. There sometimes aren’t enough teachers, or there isn’t enough money.

This is especially true for Maasai girls. Not many Maasai girls in Kenya finish elementary school. Many Maasai girls leave school early to get married. Kakenya Ntaiya has a dream. She wants to help Maasai schoolgirls. She has an elementary school for girls.

Today, 170 girls go to her school, and they love it. They study English and Swahili (an African language). They also study math, science, geography, history, art, and PE. Ntaiya wants the students to have a better life.
