It's Not Easy Being a Kid
Read the passage and answer this question: Why is it not easy being a kid?
Peter is my pen pal. He's in the second grade. He writes me a letter once a week. He thinks it is not easy being a kid. Why? Let's read his letter together.
My dear friend,______
It's not easy being a kid. Being a kid might look like fun, but sometimes it's not.______
When you're a kid, you have to get up early in the morning and go to school. At school you have to study maths, English, science and history. After school, you have to do your homework. When you're an adult, you don't go to school and you never have homework.______
When you're a kid, you can't go anywhere by yourself. If I want to buy a gift for my friends, I have to wait for my mum to return home. When you're an adult, you can drive a car wherever you want.______
But I do have a mum and dad who love me. That is really great. So I guess I like being a kid even though IT'S NOT EASY BEING A KID.______
Yours,
Peter______
