Question

My grandparents can be good fun．They are retired，so they don’t work any more．My grandfather is 68 and my grandmother is 67，but they are not too old to be active．They exercise by playing golf and they go out for meals and to the theater．Sometimes they take me out too．We have a good time．They also go on great holidays．Last year，they went to China and walked along the Great Wall!

Sometimes，my grandparents like to criticize me．They think that children today have an easy life．Life was very different when they were young and there are many things about my life that they do not understand．They tell me，over and over，how they had to start work at l6．They know that I will go on to university and will not be getting a job until I am about 22 ！They also think that I have too many possessions(财产)，such as mobile phones，computers and PSPs．When they were young，they did not have

anything like that．What they do not realize is that they cannot compare children at present time．They had the same kinds of things as the rest of people of their age—so do I. It would be very strange if I only had the possessions that they have when they were at my age．
