It was Saturday yesterday. I had no lessons. I got up at six. After breakfast，I went to a farm by truck(卡车) with my classmates to help the farmers with apple harvest(收获). As soon as we went there, we 
began to pick apples. But some of the apples are too high for me to reach. Jim is very strong. He lifted(举) a ladder(梯子) and held(扶) it for me. So I was able to pick them. Some of us took the baskets of apples to the truck and some put the baskets of apples onto the truck.
It was hard work, but we all felt very happy.

Do teenagers in small villages（村子） do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey（调查）. 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（村子）. We made a diagram（表格） of the result（结果） of our survey（调查）. 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.
