TOEFL Essay:

"DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT? CHILDHOOD IS THE HAPPIEST
TIME IN A PERSON'S LIFE."

It's easy to say that childhood is the happiest time in a person's life. Especially when we
come back from work and we are really tired. How to say the contrary? Childreen do not
have responsabilities, rents to pay or job problems and their main preoccupation during the

day is how to spend their free time. Playing football or riding a bicycle ?
Therefore it's true : when you are a child, life is easy! However, we have to consider that
childhood is also the time in a person's life, in which we have less controll of our lifes.
Parents decide what kind of school you are going to apply. They decide you have to learn to play
piano or you have to learn to swim. They decide you have to eat foods you do not like at all.
And as a child is difficult to contrast the parents decisions. "Every thing we decide is for
your healty", they say. Therefore being adults imply more responsabilities, work, stress and
worries but at the same time is also the period in a person's life in which we have more control
of our lifes. Ad this is the beatifull of being adults.
