独生子女的利弊

Advantage and Disadvantages of Being an Only Child

      My father used to talk to me about his five siblings. He used to say that I was unfortunate that I had none. And I used to envy him and wonder how nice it would be to have a house ful of brothers and sisters. I also used to wonder what would happen to me if I were to lose my parents.

      Frankly speaking, I do not have to share anything with anybody. I own all my parents' love. I can ask for anything I want. I always wear new clothes and eat the Dest food. Since my parents spend all their money on me, I can study at the best university of the country.

      Lucky as I am, I now and then feel very lonely and I have nobody to complain about my loneliness.  How I long for a quarrel  with  my  brothers and  sisters!  Of course  I  have classmates and friends, but they are different.  Sometimes I feel so pessimistic that after my parents leave the world, I will have no blood relatives left to share with me the fond memoties of my parents.Furthermore, I am likely to become selfish while I realize the world is for sharing.

     So, I am happy but lonely; I am fortunate but piteous; I am loved but spoiled; I am well-bred but selfish, because I am the only child of the family.
