林海音在《爸爸的花儿落了》中写道：
“我们是那么喜欢长大变成大人，同时我们又是多么害怕变成大人。”
我同意他说的这句话。这句话的确是有一点矛盾，一个人怎么能同时喜欢又怕一可东西呢？ 可是这确实是一个事实。因为大家都要长大，可是却则不得童年时所做的一侧，放不下这些美好的回忆。
我们是有理由怕做大人，因为他们的责任很多。社会对大人的要求也很高,因为他不但得为国家付出贡献，也得做年轻人的版样。 他们也得为自己的家人付出,在经济上和精神上给他们支持。这些付出都给他们有很大的压力。这可不是我还怕做大人的唯一原因。当了大人也得有非常成熟的思想和态度。没有了这些，一个人多么要做大人，也是会无法应付他们繁忙的生活里的要求。
当然每个年轻人都会要做大人了。因为大人可以为自己做决定。有了这样的自由后，又加上一份稳定的职业，我们一定能够满足自己___物需求[materialistic wants]。这可当然是一个很天真的想法！哈做大人后，不必一直被父母空集也可能是一些人要快点成长的原因了。
我不想做大人也是因为我很怕商业环境里的竞争力。
只可惜做大人的选侧可不是我们自己做的，恐怕我们只能曾机会享受“快乐”的童年了。
finally its done . of course theres alot more to say. but hm it is already weird enough -.- its like writing an expository essay in el for sec sch english -.-
translationIn the essay, [Father's Fallen Petals*] the author wrote the phrase. " We are always love the thought of becoming adults. However, we are also so afraid of becoming one" Do you agree with him?I agree with his saying. Although it is contradicting and ironic for someone to actually both like and hate something at the same time, this is definitely the truth for most of us. Everyone hopes to grow up, but is unable to forget what we have done during our younger days. Neither are we able to not miss what we did during that time.We definitely have reasons to dislike being an adult. Firstly , they have many responsibilities placed on their shoulders. The society has high expectations on adults. They are expected to do their part to support the country, and is also required to support their own family, and act as role models for the youths.Secondly, being an adult requires extremely mature thinking and behavior. Without these, no teenager would be able to withstand the demands of an adult's lifestyle, no matter how much he/she wishes to be one.Being an adult would definitely be every teenager's dream. The ability to make one's own decision added on to a stable job, would equate to our materialistic needs being met. Of course this is naive thinking. Well, being no longer under their parents control anymore, might also be some people's motivation to grow up faster Personally, it is the fear of competitiveness in the working world that make me rethink whether i want to be an adult.However, being an adult is definitely not a choice we can decide upon. Lets just get the most joy out of our "enjoyable" childhood days.* lol that is very bad translation of the passage title.
anw being an adult is nt fearful just because of the stress they face. in such a fast paced society, being an adult does not just require the physical stamina. it also requires plenty of mental stamina. to be able to actually work long hours everydae, sastisfy one's own needs, then sastify one's family's needs is definitely not an easy task =D
ha seriously though. not lookin forward to being an adult? YOU GOT NO CHOICE in this one =P
WHO's behindthegrin?; ICHI-chan!
