Little by little, there appeared green fields for people to grow plant.
The project which began in 2007 is supposed to cost a total of 8, 000, 000, 000 dollars. Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting. So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the near future!

"Disneyland Paris? You're not serious! " said Tim.
"Yes，I am，" said Jenny. "Someone has donated money to the school for a Student of the Year Award. "
Tim，Jenny and William were waiting for morning assembly to start. Everyone around them was talking about the Student of the Year Award.
"How many people can go?"
"I don't know，" said William，shrugging his shoulders. "Two maybe. Don't worry，Tim，if you win，it's OK for you to take me. "
" Not likely, " said Tim.
"That's enough talking，" said Mrs. Barrow. Arkwright School's new Head Teacher was standing on the stage in front of them. "Can I have your attention，please." she said. She was a small woman with a very powerful voice. When she spoke，the children fell silent.
"I'm sure you have all heard about the new Arkwright School Student of the Year Award. Basically，we want you to think of an activity that will be good for both the school and the local community，" said Mrs. Barrow. " Whoever thinks of the best idea for a project will get our Student of the Year Trophy(奖杯)and a family ticket for four people to Disneyland Paris. "
"That's it，" said Tim. "I'm going to be Student of the Year. "
"Yes, you and two hundred others，" said William. The children were all talking now and it was very noisy.
"And，I haven't finished talking yet, thank you，" said Mrs. Barrow. These children laughed and then they were silent again.
"In addition to writing the plan， you actually have to do the project. We want to see results, not just ideas. "
One or two children started to talk again. Mrs. Barrow raised her hand.
"Some announcements. " she said. "Number One. Don't throw litter around the school and especially not in your classrooms. Some of the teachers are complaining. "
"All of the teachers are complaining, " whispered William.
"Sssh," said Jenny.
"Number Two. Please pay at the office if you are going ice skating on Saturday. "
"Brrr. Too cold，" said William.
"William. Shut up ! " said Tim.
"And，Number Three，one important thing from the police. There have been reports of thefts in the Wrightham area，and one of our students has lost his phone. Possibly someone stole it. So please be careful. Report any suspicious behaviour to your class teacher, to me，or to the police，and please don't try to catch the thief yourself. "
"You behave very suspiciously, Tim, " said William. "I think I'll report you. "
"Thanks, William, " said Tim. "I'm glad I've got a friend I can depend on! ".
