Now And Future
Long long ago, many families had three or four children. They couldn't look after everyone well, so the children must do everything by themselves. They were too poor to go to school. Some of them liked learning, but they had to go to find jobs to make money. Since they were children, they could do lots of difficult things like their parents. Sometimes they even did better than them!
But now, many families have only one child and they regard their child as a pearl. They did everything for the children. Every day, when the child gets up, their parents help him to make the room clean. They also get breakfast ready for their child. When the child is free, they can sleep or do other things, but they needn't do any housework. So many children can't cook; wash their clothes, some don't even know how to clean the floor. That's too bad.
In the future, many families will have computers. We can work on the computer instead of going out to do everything. The children also can learn on the computers, so they don't need to move! After a long time, we'll become fatter and fatter. We won't be able to do anything by ourselves!
So, which way is good for us? We must think more.

現在和未來
很久以前，許多家庭有三個或四個孩子。他們不能照顧好每個人，所以孩子們必須自己做每件事。他們窮得不能上學。他們中的一些人喜歡學習，但他們不得不去找工作賺錢。因為他們是孩子，他們可以做很多困難的事情像他們的父母。有時他們甚至比他們做得更好!
但是現在，許多家庭只有一個孩子，他們把孩子當作珍珠。他們為孩子做了一切。每天，當孩子起床時，他們的父母幫助他打掃房間。他們也為孩子準備早餐。當孩子是自由的，他們可以睡覺或做其他事情，但他們不需要做任何家務。這么多孩子不會做飯，洗衣服，有些人甚至不知道如何清潔地板。太糟了。
在未來，許多家庭將有電腦。我們可以在電腦上工作而不是出去做任何事。孩子們也可以在電腦上學習，所以他們不需要移動!過了很長時間，我們會變得越來越胖。我們自己什麼也做不了!
那么，哪種方式對我們有好處呢?我們必須多思考。
