独生子女家庭 One-child Family

Most of the Chinese people think that a family with one child is better than those with more children. For one thing, many people will try their best to achieve career success and have little time to care about their children; for another, if they only raise one child they can afford better education for the child.

But there are also some negative views about the one-child family. They think it is better to have a big family. Everyone in the family can help each other when they have difficulties. What is more, the more children they have, the better life they will live when they grow old.

In my opinion, it's enough for a family to have one child. Nowadays population expansion is one of the most serious problems in the world. Population expansion contributes to a series of problems: shortage of natural resources and food supply,crowded cities and high rate of unemployment. Some day the earth will be too crowded for people to live in.

大多数中国人认为家里一个孩子比多个孩子更好些。一方面，大多数人努力在事业上获得成功，没有时间去照看孩子；另一方面，如果他们仅仅抚养一个孩子，那么这个孩子能得到较好的教育。

但是一些人反对一个家庭只有一个孩子。他们认为还是大家庭好，在遇到困难时家庭成员可以互相帮助。更重要的是，当他们年老时，孩子越多，他们的生活就越好。

我的观点是家里有一个孩子就足够了。现在人口膨胀是世界上最严重的问题之一。人口膨胀导致一系列的问题：自然资源和食物来源的短缺、城市的拥挤以及高失业率。将来地球太拥挤了，人们就无法在地球上很好地生活。
