【推荐1】My grandfather had a small farm. He also worked in a factory.

At the same time, the factory asked him to work for a longer time than before. He had to leave the farm before the sunrise (日出) and didn’t get home until the sunset (日落).

“I know of one night that I could do it!” he said. “There’s still one more full moon in October. If the weather is clear, I think I can do it. ”

And so a few days later, after a long shift (轮班) at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field. The weather was cold but clear, and the moon was shining. He worked all night to keep his word. Sometimes, when I want to put off responsibilities (责任), I’d see my grandfather cutting corn in the light of the harvest moon.

They made a decision to take a rest under the tree. They slept there for a while. When they woke up, they felt hungry and one traveler climbed up the tree. But he was sad to see nothing.

【推荐3】In primary schools and middle schools, students will have at least 1 labor class every week. If students show interest in it, they can have 2 labor classes every week. They need to learn how to do housework, such as doing some cleaning and cooking food. According to the Ministry of Education, there is a new plan for students in China. The plan has 3 kinds of tasks: everyday chores, productive labor (生产劳动) and service.

Primary school students in first and second grades need to do some cleaning, like washing vegetables, peeling fruit and learning to raise one or two kinds of plants or small animals. It sounds interesting. Third and fourth graders should clean their classrooms, wash their clothes and shoes, and know how to make cold dishes. Fifth and sixth graders should learn the skill of cooking two or three common dishes. It seems a little difficult.

For middle school students, they are encouraged to cook three or four dishes by themselves, learn one or two kinds of traditional skills and experience one or two kinds of new technologies, modern service or voluntary work. Students can be independent and learn to help others through these activities.

Students in primary schools and middle schools have different kinds of classes about housework. They can learn some useful knowledge from labor classes. When they get home, they can also use the knowledge to help their parents with housework. Schools should also use different ways to help parents know the importance of labor education.
