上一题下一题

Dear Nancy,
How are you? Now I want to tell something interesting. Last week we had a trip to Mount Tai. On Tuesday we went to Taian by bus, a city at the foot of the mountain. We had a good rest at a hotel. At about one o’clock early the next morning, we began to climb the mountain. It took us about four hours and a half to get to the top. The mountain is covered (覆盖) with trees. I didn’t see such a beautiful place before.
“Look! The sun is going to rise!” my friend Lim shouted.
We all turned to the east and watched. Soon half of the sky because white, and a big, red ball was rising slowly. A few minutes later, the sky became bright(明亮的).
We stayed on the top and had a good time. After lunch we started going down. We got to the tour hotel at about four in the afternoon. Though we were tired, we were very happy. We came back to school the next day.
Thank you very much for your last letter and the beautiful postcards. Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours
Wu Tong

China is a great country with the largest population in the world．In order to solve the population problem，our government carried outone-child policy （政策） before．When it is carried out for some time，many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages．

From 2016，two-child policy is put into effect．In my opinion，two-child policy is good．First of all，two-child policy is the gift for some only child （独生子）．For some families，maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child．Besides the loneliness of their child，when their child grows up and they grow older，their child marry an only child girl，the burden （负担） on their child and his wife is too heavy．Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples．Usually，it is a little difficult for a young couple to look after an old couple．But if their parents have two children，they can share the burden of taking care of their parents．It would be much better．Secondly，two-child policy can guarantee （保证） the number of Chinese population．
