Let's learn more about each other
Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages?In many ways,they are very different.But what are the differences?
Hu Peng of Wuhan and his four friends decided to find out.They went to live for a week in Caidian,a village near Wuhan.Hu and his Junior l classmates asked kids there from door to door lots of questions.They wanted to learn more about the kids' everyday lives,so they asked questions:Do your parents teach you how to do housework?How much money do you usually spend on dinner?What would you do if a thief came into your house?They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.
What are the differences?
On April 12,the team gave a report to their class.They talked lots of differences about children's lives between cities and villages.The biggest difference is independence.Hu's team saw that 60 percent of city kids can't do much housework,but 90 percent of village kids can take care of themselves.
City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot,and they had no time to wash clothes or make their beds.Village kids said they helped their parents a lot:they cook meals,clean the house and feed pigs.Hu's team also saw that village kids had less pocket money,many never use computers.They play in rivers or on mountains.Some don't really like to make new friends.
Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self-confidence.But it also made them know they still had a lot to learn."When we grow up,our parents can't take care of us," Hu said."We have to learn to take care of ourselves." Shen Guanquan,one of Hu's friends,said,"When people learn to care for themselves,they learn to do lots of difficult things."
