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 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.

In the US, all you have to do to get an A in PE class is show up in proper gym clothes and look like you"re trying. This is lucky for kids like me who aren"t great at sports. At my school, we had PE class twice a week. Every few weeks, we changed the activity we were doing. For a few weeks we played football. That was okay I was good at it. But then we switched (转换) to baseball, and I was hopeless. I couldn"t hit the ball at all! Luckily, under the American system, trying my best was enough. When I missed the ball, I knew it didn"t matter. I"d still get a good grade. During the school year, we played many different sports, including American football, badminton, gymnastics (体操), tennis, golf, swimming and rock-climbing. Every few months, we spent a few weeks in health class. Instead of going outside or to the gym, we sat in a classroom and learned about the human body and first aid (急救). At PE classes, we learned a little, exercised a little, and had lots of fun. 1. The Chinese students must be good at sports in order to _______. 2.
