 How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him properly.                                                          Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. But a child has his pain: he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are.                                                             When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents. If he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.                                                                  With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. They can watch their children and their grandchildren growing up around them. They feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.                                                                                                                                                       1- Children are very happy because they are free to do whatever they wish.                     a.

For us, Greek and Latin are the most important languages of the ancient world. Greek is the older of the two and much of Latin literature is based on the Greek literature that went before it. The two languages are often learnt together because Greek and Latin grammar are alike in various ways. Many scholars think that Greek comes from an even earlier language that was written form right to left, for the very early Greek inscriptions are from right to left. The Greek writing of later times, however, which is better known, follows the usual pattern of left to right. The Greek alphabet, which is different from ours, has 24 letters.                          Ancient Greek was spoken in many dialects, but the Attic speech, which the citizens of Athens used, is thought to be the purest kind. Greek spread rapidly and come to be spoken in most of the lands around the Mediterranean, and the victories of the Macedonian king and warrior Alexander, the Great, carried it also to many parts of Asia Minor and the near East. Later, in the Roman world, people employed Greek as their second language, in the same way that English speaking people learned and used in later times. 1.
