8. About a newspaper article

There are millions of people on the earth and every single person has a family lifestyle that differs from another one. The relationship of the families and their habits are conditioned by the place where they were born, the socioeconomic background, the culture, as well as other factors.

I just read a newspaper article called “lost childhood”, and I decided to write about it. This report was about pushy parents who are robbing children of their happiest years taking them to lots of after-school activities.

In my opinion I think that children shouldn’t do too many activities before school, because childhood is the only time in your life when you can play and you haven't any worries, this is why don’t share the view of the families that the childs are always doing loads of out school activities, because the child might get stressed. In fact, I know some families that take their child to lots of activities to give to them a break, which to my mind is a selfish attitude. My family are always encouraging me when I have to make a decision or when I want to do something, but never force me to go to after school activities that I wouldn’t like to just do it, to give to them a break. In conclusion, I totally agree with the families which say that children must be listened to and given your time to them.
