Last week I take part in a farm work programme with my classmates in the suburbs. Before the activity, our teacher told us some specific arrangements about the activity which theme was “Labor is the most glorious thing”. Meanwhile, he stressed on the importance and value of working by our own hand. When I got home, I packed up for trip excitedly.
