Worked solution

Answer. Children are intelligent and quick learners. They are prompt in giving opinions and don’t think as logically as adults. As a result, their perception of the world is entirely different. Children learn and discover from the world, see people, and their expectations quickly affect their minds. Being very sensitive, children can learn actively from more specific circumstances, often neglecting the events leading to them.

Answer. In present circumstances, people don’t show up as who they are as they fear being denied or not accepted by the world of people.  We are often expected to show the best version of ourselves to be an excellent example to others. There’s always some discrimination between how we represent ourselves to be and who we actually are. In the present scenario, the world may not accept a person when he presents himself in a bad way.
