3. A. Read the text and answer the questions.
Only Children
Are only children different? Are they cleverer? Are they selfish?
Statistics show that only children often become very successful in their careers. A lot of American famous people were only children. Some people say that such children have more problems than children who come from big families. At school it’s difficult for them to make friends. Others say that only children are usually loving people because they get all the love from their parents.
Here is what “only children” say.
Sally: As a child, I talked to my dog for hours. She was my real friend. I think pets are very important to only children. My life was rather boring. I didn’t have friends at school. But I was one of the best pupils. Now I’m successful in my work.
Liza: I didn’t make any friends at school. During my school holidays I had nobody to play with. But I was happy because my parents were my best friends. We travelled a lot. I visited a lot of countries, met different people. They say, I’m a good journalist now.
Mike: At times I was unhappy when I was a child. When my parents sent me to a boarding school at the age of five, I didn’t like it. I didn’t have any friends then. It was a difficult life for a child. Now my wife and I have two sons. They are good friends. We didn’t want an only child.
