Africa is the second largest continent in the world and it is a continent that is unique for its diversity of environment, people, and culture. Africa is geographically divided into two parts: the Sahara desert that extends right up to the Mediterranean Sea comprising countries such as Egypt, Libya and Algeria, and the larger sub-Saharan region which extends to the coast of South Africa comprising countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Sudan.
There are huge spectacular nature reserves with varied wildlife and there are also extremely urbanised regions with large cities that contain fascinating skyscrapers and contemporary facilities. There are people who are extremely poor but there are also people who are extremely rich. There are regions that suffer from severe droughts and famine and there are regions where food is plentiful. Visiting Africa will definitely open one's eyes to the varied world of this landmass and its people.
The population of the African continent is rapidly increasing. In some parts of Africa as in the Sahara Desert, which is unsuitable for habitation, the population density is low. In other parts of Africa, in particular the less developed countries, despite the birth rate being high, the infant mortality rate and the death rate are also high. Over the last few decades, famine, disease, and war have also taken their toll on the people and this has affected the continent's population growth. In the more affluent African countries that are faring well economically, the birth and death rates are lower so there is a higher population density.
The inhabitants of Africa belong to various ethnic groups with their own distinct languages, traditions, arts and crafts, history, way of life, and religion. So, the people from diverse ethnic groups in Africa help to influence, contribute to and enrich one other's culture. There are more than 50 countries in Africa with some 20 or more different ethnic groups living within their boundaries. There are also different ethnic groups living in rural Africa with their own traditions and lifestyles that have remained virtually unchanged for centuries. They have lived the way of their forefathers from generation to generation. Their rich cultural heritage is preserved and untouched by the outside world.
The people of Africa are mainly of African origin. Some are of Arab origin when their ancestors migrated from their native land and resided in northern Africa. Some others are of European origin whose ancestors moved to Africa during the colonial period. And some are Asians originating from the Indian subcontinent. Some of the well known ethnic groups in Africa are the Ashanti, Bantu, Bushmen, Fulani, Moors, Pygmies, Swahili, and Yoruba.

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...
Tourism Tourism means people travelling to places outside of their usual home. A tourist is anyone traveling for fun, business or visiting relatives. A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country. Some people call this a ‘staycation’. Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region. For example, a Barbadian visiting Jamaica. Suppose you really wanted to visit New York and see the Statue of Liberty. Then you would be an international tourist. An international tourist is someone who travels across international borders. For example, travelling from Barbados to the United States. Tourism is great because it creates many jobs for people who work in hotels. It also allows us to see many places all around the world.
