Every week, our teacher gives us a new topic to discuss in class. Last Monday, however, he asked us a very interesting question—"Do you think it is dto be a parent？" Some of the students said they thought it was easy, as parents never have to do any homework！Our teacher said he wouldn't tell us the a. He said he would let us be "a parent" for a week. He was sure we would have the answer by the end of the week.
Then the teacher asked us to s the rest of the lesson in making "flour（面粉) babies". We first took some bags and filled them with flour in order to make the "babies" as h as real ones. We then tied the bags very tight(紧的), so the would not fall out. After that, we used cardboard（纸) to make some arms, legs and a face for our flour babies, and then we d them in old pieces of clothing. My baby looked as I am not good at art, but it was great fun.
When we finished, our teacher gave us all notebooks to record our e with the babies for the whole week. We had to carry them with us every day and look after them like real babies. That was really hard work！For example, one of my friends has quite a bad memory, and he l his flour baby on the bus one morning. We also had to feed the baby and get it for bed in the evening. Every night, I was supposed to get up three t to feed the flour baby. I was tired and fell a very quickly. Yet it was just a few hours before my alarm clock woke me up again. I got so little sleep t I had black bags under my eyes.
It was a hard time, but now the project is finished. I feel I have learmt that it is not easy to be a responsible（负责的）parent. I think it also gave me a new perspective（观点）on what my parents have done for me.
