Can you cook by yourself? Do you like the homework of making a meal? These days, primary and middle school students are required to take the Practical Activity Class (实践活动课) at least one class hour every week. The topic of cooking is discussed mostly by parents and students. Learning practical skills plays an important role in shaping a person’s character for sure. Here are some students’ views and gains.
Some schools and students have already practiced their practical activities. Gu Quan, 13 years old, from No.18 Middle School, used to be a lazy boy. In his own words, he hardly ever did any housework. But things have changed since No.18 Middle School made housework part of its students’ homework. Doing the dishes, cooking, making the bed...all of these tasks have become part of Gu Quan’s daily life.
At the beginning of each month, every student gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Their parents help them keep a record of their performance. The tasks are common and simple in daily life, such as sweeping the floor, washing cups and cooking food. On holidays like Mother’s Day, students should prepare presents for their mothers. Huang Yixi, 14, has learned several life skills, including cooking. “I used to be afraid of fire.” she said. But she managed to overcome her fear and complete her cooking task. At the same time, she also learned how tired her mother gets after doing housework every day. On Mother’s Day, she made a cake for her mother to show her thanks. “I’ve begun to better understand my parents and want to help them more,” she said.

Should we teenagers help our parents do chores? Is it important for us to learn how to do chores? I think so. Most of the teenagers like us students are the only children in each family. So our parents love us very much. They do everything for us and don’t want us to do any housework. I think it’s bad for us. Here is a real story. I have a classmate named Li Ting. She is the only child in her family. (A) 她的父母如此爱她以至于他们不让她做任何家务活。Every day she only gets up, has meals, goes to school, comes home, does homework and goes to bed. So she doesn’t know how to do chores. One day, her father was badly ill and had an operation (手术) in a hospital. Her mother had to take care of her father in the hospital and couldn’t cook the dishes for her. Li Ting didn’t know how to cook the meals. She often felt hungry. (B) Later she even ate instant (速食的) noodles only for her meals. From the story we know it’s important for us to learn to do chores and other skills from now on.
