A
Is there a difference between teenagers in doing chores in small villages and big cities? Here is a survey (调查). We asked 4,000 teenagers in China some questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The other half are from small villages across the country. We made a diagram (图表) based on the results. We found teenagers from small villages in general do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they have much less access to equipment such as vacuum (吸尘器) and dishwashers (洗碗机). Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to be responsible.
