Every year thousands of students leave school for a few weeks or months and enjoy an unusual type of educational program. What they learn during this time does not come from books. They learn new skills by living in a different country and doing unusual jobs. There are several programs that help students to gain (获得) the experience they are looking for.
Country | Job | Time | Activities |
India | Teaching young children | Two months | * Teaching music and art * Helping children to learn how to communicate |
Ghana | Health care worker | Three months | * Seeing how doctors work in a less developed country * Helping care for sick people |
Thailand | Saving elephants | Three weeks | * Caring for elephants * Helping train elephants |
One interesting program is saving elephants in Thailand. Most people think of elephants as animals in zoos or circuses. However, many elephants are no longer kept in captivity (囚禁). Now, hundreds of them are homeless. These gentle animals are often found on the streets because they do not have owners to care for them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don't have enough food to eat.
One center in Thailand cares for these elephants. It provides a safe and natural living space for them. When they are at the center, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help there. The students work with the elephant keepers and help then a train elephants. These keepers teach the students how to care for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the center. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people learn a lot.

Cooking is supposed to be the most basic living skill for humans. However, there are many kids who are used to being fed and taken care of everywhere like" little emperors and little princesses". They can't tell the differences between food materials like leeks (韭菜) and shallots (大葱).
In order to stress (加强) the importance of hard- working spirit education among students, the Communist Party of China Central Committee recently released (发布) the guidelines (方针). The guidelines call for students to respool labor work. Students should learn basic life skills and develop good working habits through such education.
Students will be required to understand and master the basics of home cooking from preparing vegetables to finally being able to complete the whole process of home cooking independently. These will be lifelong skills for kids, helping them develop into well-rounded persons instead of those who are just able to take exams.
As children's first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
It's really important for students to take labor education both at school and at home.
①respect labor work ②learn basic life skills ③develop good working habits
