Bread or cereals are popular breakfast among people in North America and Europe. Recently years many Japanese people are eating bread for every breakfast, too. But for most Japanese, when it comes to breakfast, there is nothing like miso soup and rice. I like miso soup and rice,too. Wheat is to Americans and Europeans what rice is to Japanese. There are many grades of Japanese rice. Miso soup is quite a simple soup. It is made of many kinds of ingredients, stock and soup. First, dried bonito or kombu seaweed is put into boiled water and a few seconds later taken out. Then usually two or three kinds of ingredients put into the stock. The typical ingredients are tofu, daikon radish and onion. Then last put in miso and disolve. I have heard miso soup agree with American people, too. And that, miso soup is really healthy because it has about 40~50 kcal per serving.
Introduction
I want to introduce about education system. medical system and health conditions in Zaire. But at first I want to tell you about Zaire. Zaire locate the middle west in the African continent. The third biggest country in the African continent. ItÅfs more than 200 tribes and population is 48million in Zaire. Zaire which has really amount of mineral resource, but most people are quite poor. Most families lack money for food, clothes and education.
Now, I am going to talk about education system in Zaire. Zaire started actively setting up schools, but it has been difficult to carry out the education system because of lack of funds and number of teachers. About 75% children in Zaire enter elementary school and about 25% students go to junior high school. The rate of letter knowledge is about 77%. The colonical era, most elementary school were managed by Catholicism churches and other religion groups. Government's goal of junior and high school education system is chiefly studentÅfs technical and management abilities.
Next, I want to tell you about medical system and health condition. People can see doctors chiefly in big city. But quality is not so good. The rate of doctors and people is 15thousand people per 1 doctor. Children who receive vaccinations are 20%. The industry area, workerÅfs health conditions were administered by enterprises. And the farm village area, people rely on the church for their health and medical. The average life span of babyÅfs death is 105 per 1000. The biggest cause of babyÅfs death is terrible lack of nutrition. Because of meal in Zaire lacks protein. People in Zaire in order to cure many diseases use not only modern medicine but also traditional medicine such as medical glass and plant.
