以《童年的快乐和痛苦》（The Pleasures and Pains of Childhood）为题，参考以下提示，在25分钟内写作一篇不少于100词的作文。
1）童年是美好的时光。儿童有父母关怀，过着无忧无虑的生活。 2）童年也有童年的痛苦。
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child
has good parents, he is fed , looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is improbable
that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.
In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their
interest for older people because they are too well known .A child finds pleasure in
playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure.
But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older
people are: he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he
has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.
译文：童年时，很少使生活困难的一段时间。如果一个孩子有很好的父母，他是幸福的，有着细心的照顾和爱，无论他做什么。他永远不会在他的生活给予了这么多，而无需回报做任何事情，这是不可能的。此外，生活总是提出新的东西已经失去了他们的权益，老年人孩子的事情，因为他们是众所周知的。孩子也在雨中或在雪地上快乐的玩耍。他第一次到海边是一个了不起的冒险。
但每一个孩子都有他的痛苦：他不是那么自由地做他愿意做年纪较大的人做的事：他不断被告知不能做的事情，或者他犯了什么错将受到惩罚。因此，他的生活是不完美的幸福。
点评：人的一生中会经历很多个阶段，而每一个阶段都有它的特点，当我们处在童年时期时，一方面我们是自由的，是天真无邪的，是快乐的，我们不用思考太多的问题，没有太多的烦恼；然而另一方面我们也需要面对很多的问题，也会有一些不开心的事情。所以我们要明白生活的真正意义所在，只有寻找到了生活的幸福源泉，我们的生活才会是真正的幸福。

It is not strange for them complain about the living conditions in the city. It takes ages for a bus to get to you because the traffic on the roads has virtually come to a standstill. The subways which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed: an endless procession of human sardine tins. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium. Tall buildings blot out the sun. The flow of traffic goes in continuously and the noise never stops.

Career Hopping
Today, growing numbers of men and women are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater appeal to them. Many of those who find that their work is unsatisfactory retrain themselves for a different occupation.
Job changes and careers shifts occur at all ages. It is estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty and twenty-five change their lines of work. About half that number do so between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four. Some married women combine child-rearing responsibilities with new career lines.
Motives for changing careers vary widely, but many people move because they feel bored with the dull routine. For some, a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do what they enjoy. Most go back to school to get the training they need to make the shifts.

The young and the old
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. IF, however, he works hard, keeps out of the trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position is society.
Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life, they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and ,perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight..
