11. Read the text. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?
A few years ago Shenzhen was a small fishing village in the middle of
fields. Since then, it has become an enormous industrial city. Millions
of Chinese people have moved from the countryside to work in the
new factories. The factories in Shenzhen make clothes, toys, and
electronic goods for Western countries. One in every three pairs of
shoes in the world is made here.
The workers in Shenzhen come from all over China and they work
long hours for low pay, because life in the countryside is worse. The
workers dont live with their families; their homes are dormitories
where they live and sleep with the other factory workers.
Under Chinese law, people mustnt work more than eight hours a
day, they shouldnt do more than 40 hours extra work a week, and
they must get more than $66 a month. However, the international
human rights charity, Amnesty International, says workers often have
to work much longer hours, and they are not paid enough money. The
charity also estimates that an average of 13 workers a day lose a
finger
or an arm in an industrial accident.
