One day in April, a special activity called “Food Street” was held on the playground at Railway No. 1 Middle School in Xi’an.

This activity was part of the English Art Festival in the school. The students in each class were divided into several groups. And each group sold different kinds of food. The students did the shopping and the cooking all by themselves. The students cooked delicious food such as fried chickens, potato chips and vegetables. They all worked hard and sold the food at low prices. The customers, who were the junior students, teachers and parents, all praised them for the nice food.

“It’s really hard work, said one of the students who took part in the activity, “We must make a plan before the cooking. We must know how much we should spend on the things we need. Also, we must learn how to serve customers well.”

“This activity is to give a chance to students to develop their practical abilities (实践能力),” said one teacher, “What’s more, the students will not only learn how to make money by their own hands, but also know the meaning of life.”

Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers (志愿者). Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.

Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she is going to university to study Chinese, but now she’s living in Belize. Pauline says, “I’m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is polluted, the coral will die. I’m helping the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.”

“I’m staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people of Belize—and myself! After I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to travel around Belize and Central America.”
