найти прилагательные Today, over half the world's population live in cities and the number is growing all the time. This is called urbanisation. One reason people are leaving the countryside is because jobs are not well-paid. The cities offer a wide variety of jobs and better schools. But they often are dangerous to live in and have pollution, too. Nearly a quarter of the world's 850 million city dwellers live in slums*. Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya is the second largest slum in Africa with a population of 170,000. Life isn't easy there. There are schools for children but the living conditions are terrible. Most people don't have electricity or running water. The streets are dirty and homes are small shacks. Tim lives in one of these shacks with his mother, father and sister. He wakes up at 6 o'clock every morning because he has to be at school by 7:30. He gets back home at 3:30. He takes his dog Bingo for a walk and then helps his mother with the chores. He has to carry water from one of Kibera's two water pipes so they can wash clothes and cook dinner. In the evenings, he plays hide-and-seek with his friends because there are no sports facilities. Tim, though, is one of the lucky ones; many children in Kibera live on the streets. Life in Kibera shows the bad side of urbanisation. We need to improve the conditions in cities. Fortunately for Kibera, the Kenyan government and various charities are now working to do just that.
