Dust billowed up from the dirt road as Big Red raced through the country to the family farm. Dan drove his red car into the driveway as if it were on fire. The car barely had a chance to slow down before Dan was racing to Klairia's side. "Did you hear what's going on downtown?" he asked breathlessly. "It's on all of the radio stations and on every news channel on TV."

"No, I haven't even turned on the TV or radio today," replied Klairia.

"Our town is being used to film a movie!" Dan yelled. "We should head down to see if we can spot a celebrity."

Klairia clapped her hands in delight. The friends jumped into the car and were zooming toward town. Suddenly, Big Red choked, groaned, and ground to a halt. Steam spilled out from under the hood. Dan exited the car and propped open the hood, only to discover that the radiator was cooked.

"It doesn't seem like Big Red will get us downtown. I guess we will have to wait for some other time to spot a celebrity," Klairia said.

"If you're up for it, we can make the hike to town and see if a mechanic at Joe's Auto Shop can get Big Red up and running. I would hate for us to miss this opportunity," said Dan.

"I'm up for it," Klairia exclaimed.

After ten minutes of walking in the hot sun, they detected the sound of a car engine. Turning around, they beheld a black limo coming to a stop behind them. The face of Rockley Sloan, the new up-and-coming actor on the hottest TV show, All the King's Horses, popped out of the back window.

"Do you guys need a ride into town?" he asked.

Klairia and Dan looked at each other in disbelief.

"Yes, please!" they said in unison.

Klairia and Dan climbed into the limo, barely concealing their excitement. Their dreams were coming true!

Will anyone be able to check for grammatical errors and give an opinion on the essay itself? write about the following topic: some people believe that allowing children to make their own cholces on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. discuss both these views and give your own opinion. —— nowadays, in this busy and fast developing world teaching children from an early age to cope with their own decisions (such as food, clothes etc.) and then take the coincidences after that is something that a lot of people believe that it is important for them. on the other hand other people think that it might end up in a society of humans who put their wishes before anyone else's. but which one of these views will predominate? firstly, the people who allow their children to make their own decisions are the people who everyone should look up to. it is important to let your children learn from the mistakes their make. the parents can not be with them all the time every day and for that reason, teaching them to deal with their decisons or even problems will them in the future. of course, there are always disadvantages such as some people may really forget about that their children will need them at a certain point in life and may loose connection whit them. but that is why it should have that moderately path, where kids will make their own decisions but will feel comfortable to always ask for a advice tueur parents. on the other hand, there are and the second type of parents which think that too much individualism is not good. it really depends on the parents how they will teach their children to carry on with the independence they have. a lot of them might forget that they are still kids and will need and advices from time to time and because of that the parents turn their kids in individuals who only think about their own wishes due to the fact that they are let on their own and have to cope with everyone and everything by themselves. in conclusion, i think that the best decision someone can make is to look up to the first type of parents. that way they will be able to train their children to become independent people who will respect the wishes of others and they will be able to cope with their decisions in the future when they need it.
