According to UNESCO, a large number of children in villages in some African countries like Kenya and Tanzania do not go to school. They have to work to make money for their families. And more than half of people in these countries live without electricity.
A company is now working to solve both of these problems. It has created a special solar (太阳的) power station, which is in the shape of a cow, called “Solar Cow”. The company encourages parents in those poor villages to send their children to school by setting up Solar Cows at schools.
Just as its name suggests, the Solar Cow can charge batteries(给电池充电)called “Solar Milks”. The Solar Milks provide electricity for the families.
The batteries can only be charged using the Solar Cow, so children have to go to school to get the electricity. Every day, children put their batteries into the bottom of their school’s Solar Cow. They go to class while the batteries are being charged. At the end of the day, they take the charged batteries home. Each fully-charged Solar Milk battery can charge a mobile phone three or four times, or a radio once or twice. The battery is also a flashlight , and it can provide ten hours of light. “My father used to travel two to three hours to the charging shop to charge his phone, and it cost a lot,” a boy said. “But now, he can use the battery I bring from school to charge his phone at home.”
Since 2018, this company has set up two Solar Cows in Kenya and one in Tanzania. The company also started to raise money for more Solar Cows to help the poor children in Africa.

Dear teachers and friends,
I’m happy to be here to share my dream with you. Life is of great value to all of us. We can only live once. It’s necessary for us to have a dream. My dream is to be a writer when I grow up. My favourite writer is Jane Austen, who wrote Pride and Prejudice. Her books are so perfect that I read them again and again and never get bored. How I want to be a great writer likeJane Austen! I hope to make my life more meaningful in this way.
In order to make my dream come true, I ought to spend my limited life carefully. It’s important to read a large number of great books and practise writing from time to time. I believe I can make my dream come true one day.
I’m looking forward to the coming of that day!
That’s all for my speech. Thanks for listening.
