Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey (民意调查). A team asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. They made a diagram (图表) of the result of the survey. Let’s have a look at it.
