Last month.Grade 7 students at Qiaoyi Middle School in Wuxi,Jiangsu,had a taste of the adult world.They had the homework called“Working with your parents for one day”.
What did they find?
Wu Jing’s mother works as a ticket collector in a park.At 6:00 a.m.,the 14一year—old gir1 went
to work with her mother.It Was dark and cold.Before the park opened,they did the cleaning , checked tickets and counted change.when the visitors came,they greeted them with a smile.After standing for the whole day.Wu was worn out.
“Every day Mom makes dinner for me and I take it for granted(認為理所當然) ,’said Wu,“Now I know how tired she must be ,I should help her more.”
Li Shiyi,14,spent her day in a car.Her father is a taxi driver.She picked up call and gave change back. Li thought it’d be easy to sit in a car and tour the city.But soon she found that her father didn't even have time for lunch.
