Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home How about the teenagers in big cities
Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from
big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a
diagram (图表) of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers
from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a
harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some
chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

take out the rubbish 1,600 1,000

Do you like summer holidays In Australia, the summer holiday is from late December to
early February. Students have to finish their homework. They should read some English books and
write reports. They also need to do science projects with their classmates. They often go to special
classes to learn swimming, singing and cooking. And they really like to go to the beach to camp
with their parents.

Teachers will give summer homework. But if students don’t do it, it’s OK. There are many classes
and camps. They can be about sports, cooking or outdoor survival skills (户外生存技巧). Some
