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. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care ofthemselves.

Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact we are probably 16 or 17 years old. In our parents' eyes, we are always little children and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life with outthem.

Mostparentsalwaysthinkt hat they offer（提供）the bestthingstheycanto make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cools hoes, everything that they can for their children. Inreturn（反过来）, they only want their children to get good grades in theexams.

But why can't their children still understand them? Does it mean that we still want more material( 物 质 ) things? No. In fact, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can keep ourselves away from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation( 安 慰 ), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident( 自 信 的 ) in the outside world because we know that we have a truefamily.

So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children, so that the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, parents will not treat(对待) their children as little ones.

Several years ago, I spent most of my time in a hospital in our town. At first, it was a little scary, because people had different kinds of illnesses there, but I kept on, because I loveothers. And I felt very happy.

One day I found that one of my parents' friends a patient (病人）here.

When I was a baby, this woman was very kind to because she had no children.

But now she can't remember me at all. I looked after her and showed some of my old  to her. Finally, she was able to remember some old things, and she to me," Dear, you shouldn't here. " But I hoped something happy into this woman's life. I learned that because she had no family, she had to live in an old people's home. So I brought her to my home and I still remember the happy smiles on her face.

I will never forget the volunteering experience. This woman later passed away. I can't see her any more, but I'm happy that I have do nethings to make ato another person's life.
