When Webster was young, he was a teacher. But he quickly became tired of the books he used in
classes. They were all about the English people and places. Since he wanted books that would be
interesting to American children, he wrote three books with many American examples.
Webster worked industriously (勤奋地) to change the spelling of American English. He wanted
words to be spelled in the same way they were pronounced (发音). For example, he thought the word
"laugh" should be spelled "1af".
One day he walked into a print shop and gave the boy there a piece of paper. "Young man," he said,
"when you print any please don't spell as English people do. For example when you print these words
"theatre, centre, colour, and labour (劳动)", please always print them as "theater, center, color,
and labor'." The boy studied it and answered, "OK, but I must ask my boss first."
With the money he made from his books, Webster could start his work, which took him more
than twenty years to finish. In 1828, the first American English dictionary was born. And today,
Webster's dictionary is thought to be the most important American dictionary in the whole world.

Sun Mei was 14 when she began working iri a small restaurant last year. Usually she works for 13 to 15 hours a day.
She welcomes people, serves tea, washes dishes and cleans the floor. She seldom has a day off. At the end of the day,
"I feel so tired," said Sun, "My family is poor. There is no money for me to go to school. "
There are 250 million children in the world who are working in hard, sometimes dangerous conditions. India has the
biggest number of child workers in the world 44 million.
Children do all kinds of work. Most of them work in the fields. They pick vegetables, clear grass and move rocks.
Some work in factories making clothes, glass, matches and many other things. Others sell things in the markets.
Why do children work? Many children work to make money for their families to live on. Another reason is that
schools are too far away or there are no schools in the area at all.
In China, there is a law called "Prohibition of Child Labour" 《<禁止使用童工规定 》). It says any company
mustn't hire children under 16 and anyone who introduces a child to work will be fined 5, 000 yuan.
