【推荐3】For primary and middle school students, being able to cook has become a must. They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise chickens or ducks and fix computers or fridges under new requirements for labor education. The MOE (教育部) brought out a new standard for labor education in schools last year. Starting from the 2022 fall term, students in primary and middle schools have to take courses on labor skills at least once a week.

Labor education helps students value hard work. The new standard includes three types of labor tasks: housework, school labor and community volunteer services.

Schools in China have traditionally placed more focus on studying, and many have seen housework as a waste of children’s time. But according to the MOE, labor education must be built up to help students improve social values and develop an interest in labor.

Liu Fang, a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, strongly supports labor education. For the past year, she has trained her daughters to do housework and make simple dishes for the family.

“The main idea is to let them share duty as family members and become independent as they can,” said Liu. “Through doing housework, their hand-eye coordination (手眼协调), time management and organization skills can be trained and it’s also good to help them relax.”

Through such education, Liu said her twins have found fun in doing housework and are more independent.

【推荐1】Last year, when I stayed with my mum, I worked in a high school near her house. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

【推荐2】Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the white rabbit anywhere.

She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked (上了锁的). “How will I get out again?” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.

Then she saw another door. The door was only 40cm high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldn’t get through it—she was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.

“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller?” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.

After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words “DRINK ME” in large letters.

“It can be dangerous to drink the liquid (液体) in the bottle,” she said, “What will it do to me?” She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.

“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” she said. “And now.” she said happily. “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”

She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above her on the top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.

At last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it and found a very small cake with the words “EAT ME” on it.
