Today both males and females are having
babies at an older age why?Is this a positive or negative development on
society and family?今天,很多夫妇选择晚育,原因何在? 这对于社会和家庭是有利还是有弊?(2012年12月8日)
【作家立场】
晚育是双刃刀,有利有弊,选择权利应该归给个人,但是,我认为趁着年轻生育是明智的选择,更应该被提倡。
【思路拓展】
〖晚育的原因〗
① 现代人过于繁忙,很难照料孩子,因为他们面对激励的竞争,快节奏的生活以及过度的工作负荷。 具体而言,职场人士在攀登职业高峰时,很少有时间和精力养育孩子。
② 很多男性努力发展事业,很多女性渴望保持身材苗条,他们没有心情和热情生育子女。
〖晚育的利好〗
① 人们可以暂时缓解经济压力,具体而言,人们有更多的金钱和时间可供自由支配。毕竟,养育孩子需要经济和精力的投入。
② 奋斗多年后再生育对子女有利好,因为父母承担得起子女的学费及日常开销。同时,晚育的父母在育儿方面懂得更多常识。
〖晚育的弊端〗
① 没有女子的成人年会感受孤独。他们不能感受子女带来的欢乐,婚姻可能也会缺乏一种必要的维系。
② 社会也会面临人口老龄化的困境,社会的进步失去驱动力。
【范文赏析】
〖首段〗背景介绍 + 写作目的
It is not rare to
see that some couples choose
to give a birth to baby when they get older.People have been
debating the pros and cons of having a
baby in the late of adulthood without
reaching any definite consensus. This essay aims to explore the reasons why some spouses delay their plan of pregnancy and then explore
its merits and demerits.
〖二段〗晚育的原因
The reasons of having babies at
older age are
manifold. First,modern people are toooccupied to see to their babies because
of the pierce
competition, ever-accelerating pace of modern life and excessive workload. More precisely, many
adults have to struggle to climb the career ladder, hence, they have no time to expect a child. Also, countless females desire to maintain a slim figure. So, they all
have no mood or zeal to raise a child.
〖三段〗晚育的利好
Granted, some
merits could be gained via delaying
the time of pregnancy. Primarily, people
could temporarily diminish family’s financial burden brought about by rearing a
baby.Specifically, they could
have more money and time at their own disposable. Indeed, a baby entails not only parental financial
investment but also excessive energies. Further, parentswho have
comfortable family budgets could
greatly conduce to their children’s
growth. It is easier for them to afford their children’s tuition fees and daily
expenditure. Meanwhile, late-life parents have more common sense in terms of child-rearing.
〖四段〗晚育的弊端
However, there are
some drawbacks triggered by giving
birth to a kid when young adults are
aging. Initially, some childless adults
may suffer from isolation because they might fail to
acquire well-being deriving
from rearing a child. In some cases, marriage
will suffer too. On the
societal level, a society may suffer from aging population and thus lose adequate driving
force of social progress.
〖四段〗作家立场
It is my standpoint
that to get a child at an
older age is a
two-edged sword. The option should be given to every individual. Yet to have a baby at early
age enjoy more merits
and should be advocated.
