Unit 2
A perfect holiday ?
Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
Zheng Chenyu says that she would worry where would I find food? How would I cook it? the 14-year-old girl says that she knows little about cooking.
I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but thats all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We wouldnt know what to do, or how to look after ourselves, said Zheng. And Id forget something important. Id probably watch television and then burn the soup.
Although Zheng believes that basic life skills, such as cooking and washing clothes, and especially important, she doesnt think teenagers get enough practice.
as soon as I leave home, Ill learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. Were very lazy, she said.
Most teenagers have only had time for their homework. They dont learn any life skills until they go to college.
However, Sima Yige doesnt think so. I think Id be all right. I wouldnt just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some simple dishes because my mum showed me, the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion, many teenagers depend too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like tidying up your room or even dressing yourself probably.
For most teenagers it wouldnt be a perfect holiday at all.
