Question

     Today the children of this country at last returned to work. After two months holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults (成年人) get such a long holiday? Two or four weeks in the summer and public (公共的) holidays —that’s all workingmen get. For most women,they are not lucky to have a holiday at all.

What a waste!If their parents had more free time instead,everyone would be happier. This is not just a national problem,either—it is worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country,but the pattern (模式) is the same,why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holidays as their parents?
