For some teenagers, being an adult (成年人) is the coolest thing in the world. Adults don’t do 1． or take exams. They do what they like and make money. How 2．! But is it true?

Last month, Grade 7 students at Sunshine School had a taste of the adult world. The teachers asked them to finish a piece of 3． homework called “Working with your parents for one day”.

Wu Jing’s mother works 4． a ticket collector in a park. At 6 a.m., the 14-year-old girl set out for work with her mother. It was dark and cold. Before the park opened, they did some cleaning and 5． for the visitors’ coming. When the visitors came, they were greeted with a smile. After standing for the whole day, Wu was worn out.

“She is busier and more 6． than what I thought. I should help her more.” said Wu.

Li Shiyi spent her day helping in a car. Her father is a taxi driver. She had to pick up calls and give change (零钱) back. Li thought it would be easy to sit in a car and tour the city. But soon she found that her father didn’t even have time for lunch.

“Now I know how hard it is to make money.” Li said. “We should care for our 7． more and not waste money.”
