Zhou Zhijie, 15, from Shanghai:
I have heard that although Senior 3 is a hard year, Senior I and Senior 2 are less stressful. I hope there'll be time then to enjoy sports. There will be plenty to see: the Tennis Masters Cup will be held in Shanghai, and of course there is the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I am going to do something for it and I'm sure I'll really enjoy it.
Jin Xin, 16, from Harbin, Heilongjiang:
I really enjoy science. I visit many science exhibitions. I am interested in UFOs too. I'm crazy about making model planes, although I'm not very good at it because I don't really have enough scientific knowledge. I'll be learning more science in senior high. In a word, sometime in the future I'm going to build an excellent model plane!

I hope I can be taller in senior high school. I am only 155 cm. Many people grow faster in senior high and I hope I will too. I want to be 162 cm. But I'm not so sure about that, since most girls in my family don't grow any taller than 160 cm. I hope I'm different.

BEIJING -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has visited

working in cities before Children's Day.
During a visit to northwest China's Shaanxi

primary school boy in a village of Xingping City.

thousands of kilometers away, was cared for by his grandparents. His parents fail to go home even once a year.

grandmother. Liu's parents were also working in the city.
"Have you been to school yet?" Wen asked two other girls.
"We are going to the pre-sehool class," said one.
"Morn and dad at home?" Wen asked. The children shook their heads.

With fast economic (经济) development, more people in the country chose to work in
cities and left their children with grandparents or relatives back home, said Wen.
