The lesson that day centered on snow and the formation（形成） of snowflakes.

The man first saw Marie Kamara as she ran with her friends past his house in a small village in Sierra Leone. Soon after, he asked the fifth-grade girl to marry him.
"No," she told him, adding "I'm going to school now".
But the financial pressures caused by the coronavirus crisis were greater than her wishes. Marie's family needed money. The man had a job and money. He paid Marie's family 500,000 leones (about $50) to marry Marie.
"The day they paid for me was on a Friday, and then I went to his house to stay," Marie said. She added that at least now she gets to eat something two times a day.
In recent years, many countries had made progress against marriages of underage girls. But COVID-19 has made much of that progress disappear.
The United Nations estimates that economic problems resulting from COVID-19 will drive 13 million more girls to marry before the age of 18.
India's government put in place a nationwide lockdown in late March to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The restrictions caused millions of poor migrants（移民） to lose their jobs in cities. Many returned to the villages they had left in search of work. With schools closed and financial pressures rising, marrying off young girls became a way for families to reduce costs.
The organization ChildLine India recorded 5,214 early marriages in just four months of lockdown between March and June of this year. The actual number is likely much higher, the organization notes.
In Bangladesh(孟加拉国), child protection officials said they received a phone call back in June warning that a child marriage was to take place within the hour. After arriving to stop the marriage, officials got the girl's family to agree to cancel the ceremony. The officials left, and the family held the wedding anyway.
In Sierra Leone,the rate of marriage under 18 had dropped from 56 percent in 2006 to 39 percent in 2017. Then COVID-19 hit. Schools closed in March. After that, child marriages rose as village girls going to school in nearby towns returned home to their parents.
