I Love Labor!
To put labor education into practice, our school organized a series of labor activities this term, such as cooking, growing vegetables and washing clothes.
Of all the activities, I like growing vegetables best. At the beginning of July, our class teacher taught us how to dig holes and plant vegetables like cabbages and carrots. After that, we watered the vegetables once a week and day by day the vegetables grew bigger and bigger. In late October, the vegetables were so big that we picked them. I even cooked them by myself. I thought they were the most delicious food in the world.
From this activity, I learned how hard farmers work. From now on I will always finish everything on my plate.
