A group of people asked this question to a group 4-to-8-year-old children. “What does love mean?” The answers were surprising. The children would answer like they did below.

“When my grandmother hurt her knees (膝盖), she couldn’t bent (弯腰) over and paint her toenails (脚指甲) any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands hurt too. That’s love.”

                                                Rebecca–age 8

“Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don’t shout at them because you know it would hurt her feelings.”

                                             Samantha–age 6

“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”

                                             Terri–age 4

“I let my big sister pick on (捉弄) me because my mum says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her.”

                                             Bethany–age 4

“I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new clothes.”

                                             Lauren–age 4

“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.”

                                             Elaine–age 5

“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.”

                                             Clear–age 5

“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.”

Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?

“I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that's all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We wouldn't know what to do, or how to look after ourselves," said Zheng Chenyu. "And I'd forget something important. I'd probably watch television and burn the soup. "

“As soon as I leave home, I'll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We’re very lazy, "she said.

Most teenagers have only time for their homework. They don't learn any life skills until they go to college.

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 sim­ple dishes because my mum showed me," the 13 - year - old boy said. In his opinion, many teen­agers depend too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like "tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly."

For most teenagers it wouldn't be a holiday at all.
