They are very small and you cant find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.

They were too poor to go to school. Some of them liked learning, but they had to go to find jobs to make money. Though they were children, they could do lots of difficult things like their parents. Sometimes they even did better than them!But now, many families have only one child and they regard their child as a pearl. They do everything for the children. Every day, when the child gets up, their parents help him to make the room clean. They also getbreakfast ready for their child. When the child is free, they can sleep or do other things, but they neednt do any housework. So many children cant cook, wash their clothes, some dont even know how to clean the floor. Thats too bad.In the future, many families will have computers. We can work on the computer instead of going out to do everything. The children also can learn on the computers, so they dont need to move! We wont be able to do anything by ourselves!So, which way is good for us? We must think more.51.
