Wu Zeyin's new app can help farmers in Botswana work easily. It's named Farm Assistant(农业助手).
Wu, an 11- year - old student from Hubei, China, moved to Botswana with his family seven years ago. After living in the country for some years, he found that the supermarkets there had only some kinds of fruit and vegetables and they were not newly picked.
It's difficult to grow common crops(农作物) because of the special weather. For a long time, Botswana had to import many fruits and vegetables from neighboring countries, such as South Africa, to meet the needs of its people.
In last July, 2023, Botswana successfully (成功地) grew China's drought- tolerant (耐旱的) rice. This kind of crop doesn't need much water to grow. Later, Zeyin made an app to help the farmers. The app has eight crops in it. Farmers can use the app to know something about the crops, like their watering needs, crop yield (产量) and selling price. And he can also learn how to grow this kind of crop from the start to the end.

Why is it called breaking? Breaking started in the 1970s, in New York City, US. At parties, dancers got up to perform during musical " breaks", which gave breaking its name. Breaking is now an important part of hip- hop culture around the world. | How to breakdance? Breaking has four kinds of moves. A " top rock" is when a breaker dances| while standing up. A" down rock" is when a breaker dances on the floor, moving their arms and kicking their| legs. A " freeze" is when a dancer stops in the middle in a cool position, like standing on their head or| balancing with one hand. " Power moves" are really fast spins and twists that look like the dancer is flying or| spinning like a top. | ▲ Anyone can be a B- girl or a B- boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Victor Montalvo is a B- boy from the US. " Breaking is amazing. It doesn't matter what color you are, who you are, where you're from: it welcomes all kinds of people," he says. " It's all about peace, love, unity, and having fun." |
