[00:-7.00]One day in school,the English teacher gave the class a writing assignment. [00:-8.00]Each student had to write an essay about an exciting place they had visited. [00:-9.00]Jenny had a great story to tell. [00:10.00]Not very long ago she went to China to visit her very good friend,Li Ming. [00:11.00]Where to begin?She had seen so many wonderful things, [00:12.00]met so many great people,and learned so much. [00:13.00]How could she tell the whole story? [00:14.00]She remembered one afternoon at Li Ming's house. [00:15.00]It was an ordeinary afternoon,but for some reason, [00:16.00]she remembered every detail of the day. [00:17.00]She smiled to herself as she began to write. [00:18.00]Li Ming invited some friends over to his house on a Sunday afternoon. [00:19.00]It was raining that day,so everyone was happy just to hang out for the afternoon. [00:20.00]The kids were talking and making jokes with one another. [00:21.00]One of Li Ming's buddies asked Jenny what she wanted to do after high school. [00:22.00]"I'm not sure yet,but I think I might want to be a welder,'replied Jenny. [00:23.00]"A welder?What's a welder?"asked the friend. [00:24.00]"A welder is someone who joins two pieces of metal together [00:25.00]by heating the edges and fixing them," [00:26.00]explained Jenny with the help of gestures. [00:27.00]"What!"exclaimed the friend."Girls can't be welders!" [00:28.00]"Why not?"asked Jenny."My uncle was a welder and I think it is a good job. [00:29.00]Besides,I know I can make a lot of money joing this job." [00:30.00]"Yeah,but it's man's job.it's only for guys,"said another friend. [00:31.00]"I can't believe you guys still think that way. [00:32.00]Things have changed,you know.Nowadays,girls can do any job they want. [00:33.00]Isn't it the same in China?"Jenny was curious. [00:34.00]"Well,"said one of Li Ming's female friends."Girls can do those jobs, [00:35.00]but why would they want to? [00:36.00]There are much easier and more suitable jobs for women, [00:37.00]like being a nurse or a teacher.They should choose one of those... [00:38.00]Hey,Li Ming,would you like me to get you another drink?" [00:39.00]"Wait a minute,Qianqian."Jenny said. [00:40.00]"Why are you getting a drink for Li Ming? [00:41.00]He lives hera and he can get his own drink.He's not a baby." [00:42.00]"Relax,Jenny.I know what!I was just going to the kitchen to get one for myself [00:43.00]and I noticed his glass was empty. [00:44.00]Can't a friend do a favour for a friend?"asked Qianqian. [00:45.00]Jenny felt a little embarrassed. [00:46.00]Li Ming noticed what was going on between Jenny and Qianqian. [00:47.00]He is a sensitive and caring person.He wanted to make it better. [00:48.00]He put his arm around Jenny's shoulder and said, [00:49.00]"I knew what you meant,Jen.But really, [00:50.00]don't you think that there is such a things as man's work and woman's work? [00:51.00]Like in your house,for example,who does the cooking and the laundry, [00:52.00]and who cuts the grass and changes the oil in the car?" [00:53.00]"Yes,that's true.My mom takes care of the house and the kitchen [00:54.00]and my dad takes care of the car and the yard. [00:55.00]But just because that works for them doesn't mean it would be good for me. [00:56.00]If we are always concerned about who we are supposed to be, [00:57.00]how will we know who we really are? [00:58.00]I think we should all be free to be exactly who we are." [00:59.00]Li Ming stood very straight and said loudly, [-1:00.00]"Well,I know who I am.I'm Li Ming and I go fishing, [-1:-1.00]and have fun with my friends.I love to sit for hours playing computer games [-1:-2.00]and I don't do any work in the kitchen." [-1:-3.00]Just then there was a loud noise. [-1:-4.00]"Ahhhh!Yikes!Get off,get off!"Li Ming was screaming and waving his arms about. [-1:-5.00]"What's the matter,Li Ming?"Jenny was truly concerned. [-1:-6.00]"There's a spider on my foot!"Li Ming screamed. [-1:-7.00]"Oh you crazy guy,"said Jenny [-1:-8.00]as she reached over and picked the spider off Li Ming's shoes. [-1:-9.00]"I thought only girls were supposed to be afraid of spiders." [-1:10.00]"I can't help it,"said Li Ming,deeply embarrassed. [-1:11.00]"But don't you see,Li Ming?It's a good thing.You are exactly how your are[-1:12.00]You don't have to be one way or another just [-1:13.00]just because people expect men or women to be that way. [-1:14.00]You are afraid of spiders and that's okay. [-1:15.00]I like you for exactly who you are!"
