Most couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan to have children. Several years ago, having big families was common and people thought of this as an advantage .That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the family. But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year, having a big family is no longer considered a practical option .In fact, more and more couples choose to have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all.

Indeed, the trend of having fewer children started a few decades ago. According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years, were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%).However, taken together, women were still more likely to have had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%).

Two decades ago, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children — a trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). Nowadays, most families in Australia have

two children. But the number of women who had given birth to a single child increased progressively from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006, and it should be even bigger nowadays.

The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America today. This comprises 20% of the children's population compared to only 10% around fifty years ago.

If a couple get married, they will probably decide to have（children）. People once thought of a big family as a(n)（advantage）, because children could help to（support）the family when they began to work. With time passing by, due to （higher cost of living）, having a big family isn't a good（choice）anymore. More couple prefer to have one（child）, and some even want a(n)（DINK）family. 边学边练 根据短文内容以及图标描述生育孩子的趋势变化。 1.This graph shows there has been a decrease in the number of couples （who have three or more children）（生三个或更多孩子）.

2.If this trend continues, couples will have（fewer children）（更少的孩子） 3. Proportion of couples with two children（remained steady）（保持稳定）from 1986 to 2006.

4. From the graph, we can see that the number of women with three or more children（decreased dramatically）（明显减少）in 1996 compared with that in 1986.

5. We can infer that the number of women with a single child will（go up）（将

Usually younger kids behave less responsibly than elder children.（√） 4. Parents should lower their expectation for their kids. （√） 5.

One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations.

你最大的一个纠结就是提醒自己对孩子要有合理的期望。 3. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important.

给双方时间去思考和认真倾听对方的心声，这是非常重要的。 4.Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you'll get at communicating with them.

除此之外，你陪伴孩子的时间越长，你就越能更好地和他们沟通。 5. You can't expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. 你不应该期望你最小的孩子能和最大的孩子一样做事认真负责。 写作训练 我们先来看一个示例，学习一下道歉信的写作结构。 A School Absence Excuse Letter

There are a number of reasons why we should learn a foreign language. Learning another language is important for both work and travel. It is also important for making real connections with other people. Lastly, it can give us a greater understanding of our own language.

Learning a foreign language would definitely enhance our chances of getting a job. When we work in a foreign country, it will benefit us immensely if we can speak its language. We would be able to work with all different types of employees, and this will give us a long-term career success.

Speaking a foreign language gives us understanding of a country's culture; it

enables us to see how other people see the world around them. If we travel or work in a foreign country, think how much easier everything would be if we could speak the local language. It would be easier to find different places, ask for directions, and even order food .

Finally, if we speak a foreign language we will actually improve our own first language. Other languages open our minds to new ways of thinking. For example, Inuits have more words to describe snow and ice as it is such an important part of their lives.

Language is what makes us human. It is how we share our thoughts with the

world. Without language, there would be no way to communicate and express ourselves. The more languages we know, the more ways we have to communicate and express ourselves. 8 This is why learning many languages should be important, and why one language simply won't do.

1．Learning another language well is important for both（work）and （travel）. It can be helpful for（making real connections）with other people.

根据提示，写短文：Advantages and Disadvantages of Formal Education。你可以在论坛中开启新话题，提交所写的内容。 1. The advantages of formal education; 2. The disadvantages of formal education; 3. Your opinion. Advantages and Disadvantages of Formal Education

This is one of the key advantages of education. Even if we consider economic benefit of education but its most important contribution that it helps in changing minds of people. Education makes people understand other cultures, religions, places and culture. It helps gain understanding of what the world is all about. This

very important if we see from perspective of developing nations which are plagued by old notions. In countries such as India girl and boy child are differentiated. Even worse women are considered cause of girl child while science tells that it is the other way round. Similar old style dogmas exists everywhere in the world and the only way to eradicate them is proper education.

Some forms of education blindly impose ideas upon young minds instead of teaching them to think for themselves. The whole purpose of an education is to allow the learner to apply themselves to think bigger and better. However a faulty education system can do more harm than good in this respect. It can be argued that those without a formal education are more ready and equipped to handle a dog eat dog world. They may have gathered their knowledge from experience for which there is no substitute. Hence, unless the mode of education is wholesome and nurtures all aspects of an individual’s personality, it may not be as advantageous as expected.

After exploring both aspects of the argument, it is safe to say that the advantages and disadvantages of education point toward one direction. Though it has its drawbacks, if implemented correctly, an education system is very helpful in improving the quality of human life. It helps in transmitting knowledge, skills, customs and values, all of which are essential in the development of an individual. Thus, this discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of education have led us to the conclusion that the importance of education far outweighs its negatives.
