Have your parents ever helped you with schoolwork or other projects (项目)? Do you think they are giving you too much help?

Du Peng (not his real name), 18, from Hebei has a     24     to share. He said that while in middle school, his mother often signed him (报名) up for English speaking contests (比赛). To help her son win, Du’s mother once asked an English teacher to help write a     25     draft (稿子).

“Although I got good results at the contest, I didn’t feel     26    ,” Du said.

Du is not alone. Nearly 90 percent of Chinese     27     said that they have helped their kids too much in school, according to a recent survey of 1,504 parents done by China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, 70 percent of parents     28     that overparenting (过度照顾孩子) could lead to a loss of their children’s independence.

Children, on the other hand, want to do things by     29    .

“Doing things ourselves gives us a strong sense of achievement,” said Liu Jiawei, 13, from Jilin. “Eventually (最终) we will leave our parents. So it’s better     30     skills and live independently as early as possible.”

Some,     31    , think parents have good reasons to help.

Jiang Qi (not his real name), 12, is from Beijing. He said that his parents would sometimes help him by making PowerPoint presentations and creating     32     works.

“Our teachers have very high expectations for us,” Jiang said. “If my parents didn’t help me while other students     33     got help from their parents, I would be criticized (批评) for not doing as well as others.”

“If schools could set more reasonable criteria (标准) and     34     unfair competition, the situation would be improved,” Jiang’s mother said.

Washing clothes is easy for most people living in cities, as washing machines do the job. However, in many rural (农村) areas or poor regions (地区), people have to wash their clothes by hand, as they don’t have electricity or money to buy the machines. Now, a new bamboo washing machine might help them solve this problem.

The machine is a simpler version (版本) of a traditional washing machine. However, it uses the natural flow of water instead of electricity. It has a wooden rotation shaft (转轴) in the center and a bamboo drum (桶) outside. You just put the machine in a river and water will go into the bottom of the machine and rotate the main drum. This creates an eddy (涡流) that cleans clothes.

A 7-member team from the School of Design at Dalian Minzu University created the machine. Their design won the “Best of the Best” prize at the 2020 Red Dot Awards (红点奖).

“There are 836 million people living in extreme poverty (极端贫困) in the world. They have to spend lots of time and energy doing little things like washing clothes. We want the bamboo washing machine to help them free up their time so they can do more meaningful things, like fighting poverty,” said Pan Cheng, one of the designers.

“The best thing about this machine is that it’s cheap and easy to make,” said Yu Yue, another designer. “We give people the rotation shaft and teach them how to set up the machine. They can find bamboo locally and make it into drums. If there is no bamboo, they can also use materials like wood.”

The designers said they spent more than half a year working on the machine. They had countless team meetings and changed their design at least four times. But in the end, they were happy with the results.

Animal-assisted therapy is new to China. But Wu has high hopes for the future, as he is now working together with a Scottish（苏格三的）university to improve his program.
