Do you know how to cook, clean or grow plants? If not, you will know soon. These will all be part of Chinese public education starting this fall.
A new standard (标准) for labor (劳动) education recently came out. Students in primary and middle school will have at least one class a week to try and experience different kinds of labor and learn different life skills and even job skills. The standard includes different tasks for each grade. For example, fifth- and sixth-graders learn to cook two or three common dishes, like fried eggs or scrambled eggs with tomatoes (番茄炒蛋).
This move is to enrich Chinese students' life and build their characters through labor. Chinese school education didn't pay enough attention (重视) to this in the past. According to a 2019 report, Chinese kids only do 12 minutes of practical activities each day, while US kids do 1.2 hours each day, China Daily reported.
In addition to household skills, students will have a chance to try new technologies like 3D printing and laser cutting (激光切割). They will also learn to make traditional handicrafts (手工艺品).

What is a tsunami (海啸)? Tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes or volcanoes (火山). The average speed (平均速度) of the waves (波浪) is 300 mph and the waves can last from five minutes to an hour.
What to do in a tsunami?
Firstly, when a strong earthquake is felt, leave the water at once, get to the shore (海岸) and go as far away as you can from the beach fast. If it allows, go to a higher ground.
Secondly, turn on the TV for news and weather reports. They will tell you more about the tsunami.
Thirdly, get all members of your family together and let everyone know the tsunami is coming. Choose a place to stay together. Make sure the place is safe and as far away from the shore as possible. Bring emergency supplies (应急用品) when you have to leave your house.
