Question

15．With the average number of children in a British family falling under an average of 2.0，compared with the traditional 2.4children，the population of the UK has been falling for quite a few years．
Why aren't British people having as many children as they used to？Well，there are many reasons．One of them is that British people are now having their children at a much older age than previously，meaning they have fewer years in which they can have children．Most young people today want a well-paid job，so they often go to university after high school after years of study at university，they then need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want．So it's not until they are about 30years old that they can start to think about settling down and having children．
Another reason is that it is relatively expensive to bring up a child in the UK．Usually both parents need to work to pay for their home and living expenses．They need to pay someone to look after their child during the day，which is expensive．
In addition，problems in the global economy often affect British families．For example，when times are tough and there is an economic downturn，it becomes difficult to find a job or keep the existing one．This kind of uncertainty discourages people from having larger families．
So what is Britain doing to try and save British families？First of all，the govermment is trying to make it cheaper to have children．For example，there have been increases in money families can gain from the state each month．Also，there is an increasing amount of money for nursery schools，so that parents don't need to pay so much for childcare．In addition，there are now laws allowing parents to take more time off work so that they can look after their children themselves rather than having to pay others to do it．
British people are having fewer children than before．The delayed child-bearing age，the high cost ofraising a child and the unstable economic situation all contribute to the population decline．The government has taken measures such as increasing the subsidies for children and reducing parents'working hours to encourage people to have more children．．

點(diǎn)評 英語寫作是一項(xiàng)主觀性較強(qiáng)的測試題．它不僅考查學(xué)生的寫作基礎(chǔ)而且還考查學(xué)生在寫作過程中綜合運(yùn)用語言的能力．在撰寫時(shí)要注意主謂語一致，時(shí)態(tài)呼應(yīng)，用詞貼切等．要提高英語寫作水平，需要兩方面的訓(xùn)練：一是語言基礎(chǔ)方面的訓(xùn)練，要有扎實(shí)的造句、翻譯等基本功，即用詞法、句法等知識(shí)造出正確無誤的句子；二是寫作知識(shí)和能力 方面的訓(xùn)練以掌握寫作方面的基本方法和技巧
