There was once an old, doing farmer __how had worked hard in his vineyard all his life.__ Before he died he wanted to teach his three sons how to be good farmers. So hi called them to his bedside and said. ‘My boys, I have an important secret to tell you: there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. Promise me that you will look for it when I’m dead.’ The sons are gave their promise and __as soon their father had died__ they began looking for the treasure. They worked very hard in the hot __sun and while they were working that thought about what their father had said.__ They pictured boxes of gold coins, diamond necklaces, and other such things. __Soon they had dug up ever inch of the vineyard__ but they found not a single penny. They were very upset __because they felt that their hard work had been for nothing.__ However, a few months later the grapes started to appear on the vines. Their grapes were the biggest and best in the neighborhood and they sold them for a lot of money. Now the sons understood __what their father had meant by the great treasure__ and they lived happily ever after.

He had three daughters but no sons. He wanted his daughter to marry before he died. He found three princes. Haw ever her druthers didn’t like them. They refused to marry the princes so the emperor became very angry. He said they must get married during they where sixteen years old. The three daughters run away as soon as the night and found work on a farm. They fell in love with the farmer’s sons when they were working there. They married the sons while they were sixteen. Some people say that childhood is the best time of your life. However, begin a child has both __pros and cons__. __One advantage is that,__ you have very few responsibilities. __For instance__, you don’t have to go to work, pay bills, or do the shopping, cooking or cleaning. This means you have plenty of free time to do whatever you want- watching TV, play on the computer, go out with friends, play sports, or purse other hobbies. __Moreover__, public transport, cinema, and sport centers cost much less for children. __In fact__, begin a child is exciting, action-packed time in life. However, of every plus there is a minus. __One advantage is that__, you have to spend all day, Monday to Friday, at school. Studding usually means you have to do homework, and you have to do exams. __Another point is that__, you may have a lot of free times, but you are rarely allowed to do whatever you want. You usually have to ask your parents if you can do things, from going shopping in town to staying out late or going to the party. __Finally__, although there are often cheaper prices for children, things are still expansive- and parents are not always generous with pocked money. There’s never enough to do everything you want. __All things considered__ sometimes there’s not enough to do anything at all! __In conclusion__ although some people see childhood as the best time in life, __in my opinion__ children have no real choice, money, and independence all bring responsibilities and restriction- witch increase with age. 1. Don’t have to go to work --- have to go to school Monday to Friday. 2. Can’t go out to parties with friends --- need to ask your parents’ permission. 3. Don’t have to cook and clean --- have to do homework and take exams. 4. Costs less to do things --- and never given enough pocket money. <span style="font-family: 'French Script MT'; color: #4a442a; font-size: 26pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 64;">

 * MAKING A RESERVATION**

MY FAVORITE ROOM** The room in our house __I like best__ is our kitchen. Perhaps the kitchen is the most important room in many houses, but it is particularly so in our house because it’s not only __where family and friends come together,__ but it’s also the place __where we cook and eat__. I have so many happy memories of times spend there: ordinary daily events such as making breakfast on dark, cold winter mornings for children __who are cross and sleepy__, before sending them off to school, or special occasions such as homecoming or cooking Christmas dinner. Whatever we have a party, people gravitate with their drinks to the kitchen. It’s always ends up the fullest and noisiest room in the house. So what does the special room look like? It’s quite big, but not huge. It’s big enough to have a good-sized rectangular table in the centre, __which is the focal point of the room__. There is a large window above the sink, looking out onto two apples trees in the garden. There’s big, old cooking stove at one end, and at the other ends wall with a huge notice board __with tells and stories__ of our lives, past, present, and future: a school photo of the kids, a postcard from Auntie Nancy, __whose family have all emigrated__ to Australia, the menu from a take-away Chinese restaurant, an invitation to a wedding __that we’re going next to Saturday__, a latter from a friend __we haven’t seen for a years__. All our world is there for everyone to read! The front door is seldom used is our house, only by strangers. All our friends use the beck door __which means__ they come straight into the kitchen and join in whatever is happened there. The kettle goes on immediately and then we all sit round the table, drinking tea and putting the world to rights! Without doubt some of the happiest times of my life have been spent in our kitchen.
