Writing Task 2 Test 8

1. Introduction: 1) Background: Two Sides
                 2) Thesis: Opinion 
2. Body Paragraph1: one side (own choice = some people think that free children to choose daily matters including food, cloth, ........)
3. Body Paragraph2: one side (consider the impact of matter = while other people  think that they should consider the impact of matters what they buy........ I and I support this point of view. )

While some people believe that children are able to buy their own materials such as food, clothes and entertainment would contribute to them involve in social live or independent, other view point out that they ought to consider to the effects posed by buying these. In my view, I think parents should help them to prepare only fundamental stuffs for living because they are more comprehensive to select what to buy and minimize the possible negative effects. 

On one hand, cloths, food and entertainment should be taken into account of the effects before they purchase.
