Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Some people think that the teenage years are the happiest time of most 
people’s live
s. Others think that adult life brings more happiness, in 
spite of greater responsibility. Discuss both views and give your own 
opinion.
Some think that in most people’s lives the happiest moment are the time 
when they were teenagers while other people think that, despite taking up 
more responsibilities, adult life is happier. I agree with the latter statement 
that, although teenagers generally do not need to worry about their 
finances, adults can do everything they want legitimately. 
Most people in the teenage years do not need to take care of their 
finances. That is because teenagers are usually supported by their families 
financially, and their parents pay all kinds of expenses for them. For 
example, most parents in Hong Kong give their teenage children US$20 a 
week pocket money. Their parents also buy new video games they want 
or they pay for tuition fees of interest classes. Despite the fact that most 
people do not need to worry about their finances when they were 
teenagers, I consider that, in spite of more responsibilities, adult life is 
happier because adults can do legally whatever they want. 
Adults can do anything they like as allowed by law. They can get married 
and have their own families, and they can create their own childhood joys. 
Of course, the adults have greater responsibility as they need to support 
themselves and their families, and they need to take care of their spouses 
and children. For instance, people work so hard to make a living and they 
are usually exhausted when they leave the office. But when they come 
home, their cheerful spouse and children are there to support them and 

---

they feel loved and cared for. Therefore, I think that there is more 
happiness in adult life. 
In conclusion, although teenagers generally do not need to worry about 
their finances, being adults are happier even though they have greater 
responsibility, because they can do anything they want legally.
