Background information of this passage
Papua New Guinea is an island nation that takes up the eastern half of the island of New Guinea along with some smaller islands. It is located just to the north of Australia. About eight million people speaking about 820 languages live in this nation, most in small villages in remote jungles. As the interior of Papua New Guinea is one of the least explored areas on the earth, numerous uncontacted people groups live there.
As a developing country, 40% of the population is self-sustaining — they raise or gather their own food and everything they need for their existence, and have little or no experience of having money, getting a salary, or buying things in shops.
The country’s literacy rate is about 64%. Though education is provided for free, it is not compulsory, and many communities do not have schools. Many schools have volunteer groups teaching languages, games and sports, construction, medical work or environmental conservation.

Tombe’s father, Mukap, a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead, led us to his house, a low, round bamboo hut with no windows, with a door just big enough to get through, and with grass sticking out of the roof—this shows it is a man’s house. Such housing is dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust. Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a platform for Jenny and me to sleep on. There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut. The only possessions I could see were one broom, a few saucers, a kettle, cups, pans, and a couple of jars.
Mukap built a fire outside and laid stones on it to heat. He then placed the hot stones in an empty oil drum with kau kau (sweet potato), ripe corn, and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to steam. It smelled delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I loved listening to the family talking softly to each other in their language, even though I could not participate much in the conversation. Luckily, Tombe interpreted for us.
Later, I noticed a can standing upside down on the grill over the fire. After a while, Tombe threw it out of the doorway. Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. His family believes that leftovers attract bad spirits in the night, so any leftover food is dried up in a can and the can is then thrown out of the hut.

What are the differences between the school you go to and the one described in the passage? (Critical thinking)
Compared with the school described in the passage, the school that I go to has all the conveniences of modern society, so there is no comparison at all.
As we have such good studying conditions, we should study even harder.
Discussion
If you had a chance to be a volunteer teacher, how would you help the students there? Why? (Creative thinking)
I would help them learn more knowledge. As knowledge is power, I hope they can equip themselves with knowledge, then have a bright future and lead a better life.
