I learned that the countries of Asia are very poor.
There’s a lot of poverty and there are no doctors,
they have no food, and they don’t have a good
shelter to live in.
○ How are the countries of Asia similar to those studied in
Africa?
They are similar because they are both poor, they
have no medical centers, and they have no food.
They both have diseases that roam in the air and kill
people everyday.
