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.
