Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways,they are very different. But what are the differences?

    Hu Peng and his four friends decided to find them out. Earlier this month,they went to live for a week at Huagui Village near Xishui. They went door to door there and asked kids there lots of questions. They wanted to learn more about village kids 5 everyday lives,so they asked questions like these： Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief comes into your houses? They also asked 150 city kids the same question.

    On April 12 ,the team gave a report to their class. They told about lots of differences between children's lives in cities and those in villages. The biggest difference is independence. Hu's team say that more than 60 percent of city kids can't do much housework,but more than 80 percent of village kids can take care of themselves.

    City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot,and they had no time to wash clothes or make their beds. Village kids said they helped their parents with a lot： they cook,clean houses and feed farm animals,HuJs team also saw that village kids had less pocket money. Many never use computers. They play in rivers or on mountains. Some don't really like to make new friends.

    Hu's team said their trip gave them more self-confidence (自信心) because they were doing some-thing by them selves. But it also worried them a bit because they saw they still had a lot to learn. uWhen we grow up,our parents can't take care of us”’ Hu said. “We have to learn to take care of ourselves. ”

    Each year,many Chinese people go abroad because of all kinds of reasons. They are becoming younger and younger year by year. Even some Chinese parents send their children to foreign countries when they are only in a middle school. They think their children can get a wider view,less academic (學(xué)業(yè)) competition or family honor. But life can be hard for young people there. At first,they have to face the culture differences and language problems. However,these are not always the most difficult things to overcome (克月艮) .To most children,controlling (管理) themselves well is a big challenge when studying alone in a strange country.

   Yu Yang,a 15-year-old student from Guangdong Province studies in a high school in Toronto,Canada. To his surprise,his teachers there seldom push students to study hard. And usually there isn't too much homework. Students have lots of free time to do some activities. Some of his friends spend their whole year's money in the first two months of the new term. So they have to ask their parents for some more money.

   On the one hand,studying abroad can help students learn foreign languages quickly and open up their eyes,but on the other hand,some children may feel lonely,become bad,lose themselves,etc. Many problems may happen to them. These are different from their original thoughts. So parents should think them over before their children go abroad.
