   Hi! My name's Okala and I'm nine years old. I live in a small village in Zambia, Africa. On weekdays, I usually get up six o' clock. My sister and I leave for school at six-thirty. We always walk to school - we never take the bus! The school is three kilometers from our village. It takes us an hour to get there.

 

   It's always very hot, so we usually have lessons under a big banyan tree. It's cool and shady! We usually finish school at three o' clock and walk home again. We always help mom with the chores. We don't have electricity so I never watch television! I usually go to bed at eight o' clock, when it gets dark.

 

 

 

Answer the questions.

 

   1. At what time does Okala get to school?
