13.In your spare time,do you help your parents with chores around the house?Can you cook for your family? In order to stress (強調) the importance of hard-working spirit education (勞動教育) among students of different ages,the Communist Party of China Central Committee (中共中央) recently released (發布) a guideline (指導綱要). The guideline calls for students to respect labor work.Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education. The government has been trying to stress the importance of hard-working spirit education.But this has been overlooked in recent years.Many teenagers do not value the importance of working hard and aren't interested in doing so. According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March,only 22% of students help with everyday chores around the house. Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard,the guideline says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard-working spirit classes every week,according to the guideline.Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience.For example,schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day. As children's first teachers,parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home.Students should master one or two life skills every year.These skills can include cooking,washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
