Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

Take out the trash | 1600 | 1000 |

【推荐2】Tina and her brother had a new babysitter (保姆)—Mrs. Green. “I heard Mrs. Green didn’t like singing or playing games and never made cakes. She’s not fun. I don’t like her.” Tina told her mother. “Sorry,” her mother said. “But Mrs. Green is active and kind.”
Tina decided to do something bad to make Mrs. Green leave. On the first day, she broke three cups. The next day, she fought with her brother. On the third day, she put Mrs. Green’s glasses under the chair. But Mrs. Green didn’t tell Tina’s mother. Tina soon got tired of doing bad things to Mrs. Green. “Well, I see someone decide to accept me,” Mrs. Green said to Tina. “Do you know what I think of you when I look at you?”
“You must think I’m a bad girl,” Tina said quietly.
But what Mrs. Green said surprised her. “I see a girl who is old enough to play games with her brother. I see a girl who is old enough to learn to make cakes. I could teach you,” Mrs. Green said. “If you’d like me to.”
“Yes, please!” Tina said. Then she said again, “I’m sorry that I did so many bad things.”
“That’s OK,” Mrs. Green said. “Now, what’s your favorite kind of cake?”

Why is it hard for teens to get good sleep? There are many reasons. One of them is late bedtime and early school start times. And the use of electronic devices (电子设备) like the smartphone and computer is another reason.
Research has found that 89% or more of teens kept at least one device in their bedroom at night. Screen time late into the evening can cause sleep problems. Using these devices can keep teens excited and unable to fall asleep. And being in the light from smartphones also makes people feel less sleepy. So teens should develop good sleeping habits to get better sleep. Here are some tips.
* Get eight hours of sleep a night on weekdays and weekends.
* Put away electronic devices at least a half-hour before bed.
* Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet.
