Hello, I’m Peter in the second grade. Now I have one thing to say: It’s not easy being a kid. Being a kid might look like fun, but sometimes it’s not fun at all.
Yesterday I was playing outside with my friend. We were having a good time. But suddenly, my mother said, “Peter, it’s time to come inside now. It’s getting dark.” When you’re an adult, no one can tell you what to do or when to do it.
When you are a kid, you have to get up early in the morning and go to school. At school, you have to study math, English, science and history. After school, you have to do your homework. When you are an adult, you do not have to go to school and you never have homework to do.
When you are a kid, the older kids sometimes pick on you. When I was walking home from school on Monday, Tom and Steve bothered me. Steve took my schoolbag and put it in a tree. It made me very mad. When you are an adult, no one can pick on you.
When you are a kid, you have to go to bed early. On school nights, my mom asks me to go to bed at 9:00 pm. But I do have parents who love me, which is really great. So I think I like being a kid, even though it’s not easy being a kid.

My tears run down from my cheeks (面颊) when I talk to my parents on the phone. What are they doing when I call them? Dad works from seven o’clock in the morning to nine o’clock in the evening. My mum does all the housework, she also has to work in the field. But I can’t do anything for them.
Every day she gets up at around 4 o’clock in the morning. When I sometimes call her at 7:30 in the evening, she tells me that she is still in the field and doesn’t have supper. I tell her I’ll study hard in the school. I also ask her to take care of herself and dad because I can’t live without them.
Mum says that the happiest time for dad and her is when my sister and I come back home.
We play cards in the room, watch TV, or do anything we like, with dad and mum making delicious food in the kitchen. It is also the happiest time for me.
