【推荐2】Most of us probably don’t like doing housework. And most of us think that cleaning the bathroom or cooking dinner for the family makes us tired. However, the fact is that someone has to do it. Most of the time, our parents have to do the housework. Is it really fair?

Some of us may think that we are too busy to do housework. But most parents work all day and are then expected to keep a clean house! Dividing housework among the whole family will make everyone’s job much easier.

【推荐3】For middle and primary school students, being able to cook has become a must. They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry (家禽) and maintain home appliances (修理家电) under new requirements for labor (劳动) education.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) brought out a new standard for labor education in schools last year. Starting from the 2022 fall semester (学期), 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. It includes things like household chores (家务), on-campus labor and community volunteer services.

The new standards include three types of labor tasks. The first is for things like everyday chores, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and maintaining home appliances. Next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handicrafts, and applying new technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting (激光切割). The third type is service work, which includes volunteer work.

Schools in China have traditionally paid more attention to studying, and many have seen household chores as a waste of children’s time. But according to the MOE, labor education must be built up to help students cultivate (培养) social values and develop an interest in labor.

Online, people have been busy discussing the new standards on social media.

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 household chores and make simple dishes for the family.

“The main idea is to let them share responsibility (责任) as family members and become independent as early as they can,” said Liu. “Through doing housework, their hand-eye coordination (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 chores and are more independent.

1. What can students learn through labor education?
a. How to plant vegetables.
b. How to raise chickens or ducks.
c. How to pay attention in class.
d. How to fix computers or fridges.

A．abc

B．abd

C．bcd

D．acd

A．Why students should receive labor education.

B．What labor education was like in China in the past.
