Teens will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing the challenges in life alone, so they should learn basic life skills and form good working habits.
The government has been trying to pay attention to the importance of hardworking spirit education（劳动教育）. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value（看重）the importance of working hard. There is a teenager girl named Nancy. She never helps out around the house. Once her mother was on vacation for a week, leaving her alone at home. When her mother came home from vacation, she could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
Schools play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit courses every week. To our joy（开心）, some schools have provided each class with a piece of field to plant their favorite vegetables. For example, No. 38 Middle School in Hefei, sets up a 500-square-meter farm on an open platform（露天平台）of their teaching building. Each class is asked to grow and pick vegetables there.
Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Teens should master（掌握）one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. The basic skills may help teens to solve the problems they will meet in the future.

③Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Working together can make you stronger. Be friendly to the people around you. Try to think of others, instead of only yourself.

An experience that made me strong
Last weekend, I went for an outing with my classmates. At 7:30 in the morning, we met at our school gate. We went to the North Hill Park by bike. On the way, we were so excited that we sang loudly. When we arrived there, we started to climb the hill at once. I was so tired that I wanted to give up.
With the encouragement of my classmates, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain. I realize that as long as we try our best to do whatever we do, we are sure to succeed. I was tired but very happy.
