Question 4 are based on this article

CHILDHOOD- the best time of your life?

Some people say that childhood is the best time of your life. However, being a child has both its
advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, you have very few responsibilities. For example, you
dont have to go to work, shop, cook or pay bills. This means you have plenty of free time to do
whatever you want - watch TV, play computer games, go out with friends, involve in sports and pursue
other hobbies. Public transport, cinema and sports centres also cost much less for children. In short,
being a child is an exciting time in life.
However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you have to spend five days a week,
from Sunday to Thursday at school. Studying usually means you have to do a lot of homework, attend
extra classes and sit for exams. On top of that, you need to fulfil your parents expectation and pass with
flying colours.
What is more, you may have a lot of free time but you are rarely allowed to do whatever you
want. You usually have to ask your parents permission before doing anything - from shopping in town
to staying out late.
Last but not least, although there are often cheaper prices for children, things are still expensive.
Some parents are not always generous in giving pocket money. The reality is that sometimes there is not
enough money to satisfy a childs need.
To sum up, some people see childhood as the best time in their lives. However in reality children
do not have choices to do what they want. As children grow up, they will soon realize that they have
more responsibilities to bear.
