“Mother tells me that the most important is to study，and she almost never gives me any housework to do，though I really want some，”said Wang，a middle school student in Guangzhou，capital of South China’s Guangdong Province．

A report says that most of Guangzhou teenagers want to do more housework，but their parents usually do not think so．According to(根据)the report，37％of the teenagers do housework less than half an hour every day；39.4％of them from half an hour to one hour；11.5％one to two hours；5.6％over two hours；and 6.2％just have “no” housework to do．

“Most of my time after school should be spent on my homework，and I don’t have time to play．Even on weekends，my parents ask me to stay at home to study．I can’t go to see a film，watch TV or play with other children．My parents never say to me about anything to do with the housework．Sometimes I feel I have the duty to do something to help my parents，but they just get everything done for me，” said Yang Ming，a sixteen-year-old student．

Experts say this won’t change much unless the College Entrance Examination，which adds much pressure(压力) on high school students，is changed．
