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.

　　One Friday morning the teacher told the class that those who had a hobby could have a holiday that afternoon to get the things they had made as parts of their hobbies ready for their parents to see the following afternoon.

　　So on Friday afternoon, while those of the pupils who had nothing to show did their usual lessons, the lucky ones who had made something were agreed to go home, but they had to return before five o' clock to bring what they were going to show, and to arrange it.

　　When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. She found it difficult to believe (相信) that he had a hobby. However (可是) , at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection (收集) of butterflies (蝴蝶) in glass boxes. After his teacher had helped him to arrange them on a table in the classroom, she was surprised to see Tommy pick them up again and began to leave.

　　“What are you doing, Tommy?”she asked. “Those things must be here until tomorrow afternoon. That' s when the parents are coming to see them. ”
