Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you to afford. Now, thanks to a program in Sydney called“Play Me, I'm Yours", people are able to play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music, and the program also helps them communicate with each other.Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city, including in several parks, at a bus stop and on some streets. The pianos have the logo‘‘Play Me, I'm Yours" on them. People are invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos, no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been attracted to the program and stopped to watch or play the pianos."Play Me, I'm Yours" is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist, Luck Jerram.

I don't need a new schoolbag or clothes. I'm not afraid of being hit by you.I only want you to come back. ”When Chen Jiuying read her daughter's letter, she couldn't help crying. Chen and her husband are now working far away from their hometown. Their daughter, Xiao Li, is looked after by her grandparents. Like Chen, many migrant workers(外来务工人员) are dreaming about a better life, so they have to leave their children behind.According to a survey, there are now about 61 million left-behind children(留守儿童) in poor in China. This has brought about many problems. These children care little about others. They do not do well at school. They lack confidence .Luckily many Chinese are now thinking about the life of the left-behind children, and actions have been taken to help solve the problem.A charity event took place in Beijing before Children's Day. Its purpose was to raise social awareness (意识) of left-behind children. The event was held to raise money from businesses and the public to prepare “love bags”. Inside the bags, these are things for children, including books, torches, and envelopes and stamps so that children, can write to their parents.The event was started by Chen Weihong, a television host in China. “The left-behind children don't have enough parental love and family care. They need to be in touch with their parents. We hope our love bags will help them communicate with their parents, and make them happier, ” he said.根据上面短文的内容回答问题。
