Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone(独自地). Would life be as easy as when your parents are ____? Would it be a perfect(完美的) holiday for you?
Zheng Chenyu says that she would _____ “Where can I find food? How can I cook it?” The 14-year-old girl says that she knows ____ about cooking.
“I can have tomato and egg soup(汤), but that’s all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We don’t know what to do, or how to ____ ourselves,” said Zheng. “And I may(可能) forget something important. I may probably ______ television and then burn(煮干) the soup.”
_____ Zheng believes that basic life skills(生活技能), such as cooking and washing clothes, are especially important, she doesn’t think teenagers get enough practice.
“As soon as I leave home, I’ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost ______ for us. We’re very lazy,” she said.
Most teenagers only have time for their ______. They don’t learn any life skills until they go to college(大学).
However, Sima Yige doesn’t think so.
“I think I’d be all right. I wouldn’t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some ______ dishes because my mum showed me,” the 13-year-old boy said.
