Only Children
Are only children different? Are they cleverer? Are they selfish?
Some people say that only children often become successful in their careers. A lot of famous people were only children. Other people are sure that only children have more problems than children who come from big families. At school it’s difficult for them to make friends but at the same time they are usually loving people because they get all the love from their parents. Here is what three only children say.
Sally: As a child, I talked to my dog for hours. She was my real friend. I think pets are very important to only children. My life was rather boring. I didn’t have friends at school. But I was one of the best pupils. Now I’m successful in my work.
Lisa: I didn’t make any friends at school. During my school holidays I had nobody to play with. But I was happy because my parents were my best friends. We travelled a lot. I visited some foreign countries, met different people. Now everybody says I’m a good journalist.
Mike: At times I was unhappy when I was a child. When my parents sent me to school at the age of five, I didn’t like it. I didn’t have any friends then. It was not as easy life for a child. Now my wife and I have two sons. They are good friends. We didn’t want an only child.
