Country and City life

Country Life

What is the life like in the country? Children need to take care of the herds of goats. Women walk with pots on their heads to carry water. Oxen do lots of their field work. Farmers don't have modern tools. Animals graze for their food. It is really hard work in Afghanistan. Most people live on farms in the countryside. They raise wheat, barley, corn, rice, and cotton. Lots of farmers can use barley to feed their big families. They live in tents. Would you want to live in the countryside of Afghanistan?

City Life The lives in Afghanistan are different from ours. City life is different because there are different styles of cities. One of the biggest cities is Kabul. It is the biggest city in Afghanistan. Kabul has 3 million people living. Cities have different buildings than we have in Sioux Center. Lots of people don't have jobs and there are not very many roads. Few people have cars. Lots of people live in brick and tin houses. Some wealthy people own nice houses. Many kids go to school, but some don't. Their cities are very beautiful, but as you can see, they also have some struggles.
