农民工生活这个选题已经有很多人做过了想创新还是有一定的难度的

The lives of migrant workers? Too many people have already done this topic. If you want to do something new with it, it certainly won't be easy.
我也觉得这个题目有点老套不过我之前接触过一些农民工我觉得可以挖掘一下他们的精神生活

I think this subject is a little worn out as well, but I've come into contact with some migrant workers before, and I think I could dig a little deeper into how they spend their free time.
