Introduction:
Aiming to control the ever-increasing population in China, only-child policy has resulted in many overwhelming side effects at present society. However, while some socialists actively appeal to change the situation, China, and many other countries are actually finding themselves facing a growing number of couples reluctant to a second child, even a child at all.
What has caused the reluctance? What are the main concerns about have another child? The text, equipped with statistics and solid facts, demonstrate the disadvantages of having a second child. But the author is by no means against having a large family, because he has explicitly listed the problems caused by only-child situation.
Therefore, according to the author, as to whether or not to have a second child, it depends.
1.Listen to the song Only Child from Wang Ruolin.
Key words: compensate; spoil; manipulate
王若琳---Only Child
There's something that I see that I
really really want
And I will take it without telling anyone
But that's OK cause I'm an only child
I've been spoiled cause I'm a lonely child
And then I'm all alone
And then I'm broke
Please don't take away what I got O no
Please don't take away what I got O no
My mother dear and father dear
they must compensate
for the loneliness they think
I must endure all day
See that's OK cause I'm an only child
I've been spoiled cause I'm a lonely child
And then I'm all alone
And them I'm broke
Please don't take away what I got O no
Please don't take away what I got O no
You feel so bad that
I can manipulate
You two into doing
Just about anything
Just about anything
Just about anything I say!
If they don't give me what I want
then I start to cry
then they'll give me toys and candy
as pathetic bribe
See that's OK cause I'm an only child
See that's OK cause I'm a lonely child
See that's OK See that's OK
I've been spoiled for I'm a lonely child
You feel so bad that
I can manipulate
You two into doing
Just about anything
Just about anything
Just about anything I say!

佳句欣赏：
1.复杂句
本篇文章充斥难句，是锻炼学生的好机会。

在讲解句子结构的同时，还可以通过拆分和合并句子提高学生的写作水平。

举例：
1）What is appropriate for one family may not be for another.
适用于一个家庭的却不一定适合另一个家庭。

拆分句子：
It is appropriate for this family.
It may not be appropriate for that family.
2）Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with siblings.
•拆分句子：
Self-esteem is combined with increased independence.
can lead to the child being more confidence.
这句话的宾语从句中是个比较结构：
the child VS one who has been raised with siblings.
比较的内容是capable of interacting well with people
比较的结果是 the (only) child
children from large families
3）
This often lead to increased self-esteem which, combined with increased independence can lead to the child being more confident.
• Lead to 在句子中出现两次，用法有不同。

更容易忽略)
• increased 出现两次，强调是动作的完成，比increasing 更妙。

• 理解这句话需要三个要素之间的关系： self-esteem, independence, confidence.

In Japan, the average number of children born per family had declined to 1.42 by 1996, while the latest statistics cite less than one child.
In the US, for example, 14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child, and this percentage is expected to rise.
数据描述的重点是掌握并且使用表示升降趋势的单词，比如：
rise ，increase ， over
decline ， drop ， decrease

5. Summary：
Many couples are facing a dilemma of whether or not to have a second child. Having just one child will bring three major problems: the only child will feel lonely, especially during holidays; at the same time, as the apple of parents’eye, he tends to be spoiled and he will be found less capable of dealing with interpersonal relationships as well. Some say having a second child helps
to counter those problems, but some hold the opposite opinion, which also comprises three aspects: parents have overwhelming pressure in balancing work and life; most importantly, they have to face financial burden of having a second child and unavoidably, big families tend to cause favoritism or sibling jealousy. Statistics show that more young couples on worldwide scale are refusing to have a second child after balancing the pros and cons. According to the author, the final solution lays in the hands of young couples, as long as they have the same opinion in this issue.
