10. Read the text and make task after it.
According to UNESCO, four of ten African cannot read and write. That is a total of 136 million
people. If people could read, their lives would be a lot easier. If people read the labels on the
medicine bottles, they wouldn’t take the wrong number of pills. If farmers had their legal
documents, they would get more money for their products. If women learnt how to read, they
would teach their children too.
One problem with teaching people to read is language. Africans often speak several languages.
There are thousands of local languages as well as each country’s official language. One thing
everybody agrees on is that things wouldn’t go on like this. We have to do something!
Choose TRUE or FALSE. Correct false statements.
1. A half of African population cannot read and write.
2. Farmers had no legal documents.
3. Women taught their children to read.
4. In Africa there are a lot of local languages.
