第一段：同义改写，表达观点
In the current era, couples in many countries decide to give birth to children when they are older. This essay will examine reasons for this phenomenon and the detriments caused by it may overshadow the benefits acquired.
第二段：不想生娃是因为二人世界还没过够——
To begin with, people intend to better enjoy their personal lives so they postpone the time of having babies. It is acknowledged that couples need to spend a lot of energy and time on taking care of their infants until they grow up. However, looking after children means that parents cannot do anything they want, such as travelling to another continent, like they used to do when there were no children. Thus, it is natural for young people to delay the time of having babies since they cherish their own freedom.
第三段：不想生娃是因为没钱啊
In addition, economic issues may account for the tendency of delaying parenthood. Raising children, as is known to all, often makes up a large proportion of families' expenditure. For youngsters who just graduate, they may not have sufficient money to purchase products and services for their children. Then, in order to guarantee better life quality for their children, couples will regard working as a priority to save more money and then give birth to children.
第四段：讲讲缺少劳动力的后果
Although parents may have less economic burden and enjoy their private lives, there exists a drawback that may lead to consequences, namely lacking labor force. When there are fewer children born in the world, it means there will be fewer young people and adults in the next two or three decades. At that moment, governments will face problems caused by aging population, such as a huge expense of social welfare; it will be also difficult for enterprises to recruit suitable and young employees since the number of young people declines.
最后一段小小总结——
In sum, maintaining freedom and saving more money may explain why late parenthood becomes common. Although parents in the current generation can benefit from delaying parenthood, our society may suffer from lacking labor, as well as aging population and other issues.

In many countries, people tend to have babies at a much older age, compared with the generations of their parents and grandparents. I believe the economic status and modern lifestyles are responsible for this.
As a result of social progress, the cost of raising a child has increased significantly. Young people, particularly those who live in big cities, often live under high pressure, having to pay the high rent and various kinds of bills. Considering this, they constantly postpone their plans of having babies till they think they are financially prepared. Another factor is that families do not have as many children as they did a few decades ago. Therefore, it is easy to understand why many couples do not give birth to children at an early age.
For some countries with too large populations; this trend leads to the decrease of population and eases the pressure on public resources. Therefore, it is encouraged by the government. For young people themselves, they have more time to pursue higher career development in their young adulthood,with less distraction from household chores when they decide to have babies, they would be in a better economic condition.
There are, however, some disadvantages to thiS trend. In some countries, the expansion of aged population has become a big concern of society, causing the decline of working population. In addition, as the age of pregnancy increases, the risk of delivering babies goes up, and this factor should be considered by young people.
To sum up, when to have babies is a personal choice and the trend of having babies late in life brings both positive and negative outcomes to the society and individuals.（282 words）

本次g类雅思写作Task:Some people think that it is better for children to grow up in a city. Some other people think that it is better for children to grow up in the countryside.孩子在城市成长好还是在农村好。
Discuss the two views and give your opinions.
参考范文：
Urbanization has become an irreversible trend in modern society and an increasing number of children have become urban dwellers. Thus，people are debating whether cities are a better environment for the children growth compared with the countryside.
It is undeniable that life in the countryside facilitates improving children's physical and psychological health. Children living in rural areas can be spared from the vehicle exhaust and industrial waste gas. Instead，they spend every day enjoying the gentle breeze and fresh air，thus ensuring their physical fitness. The agreeable environment can also function as the way to improve children's emotional wellbeing. For example，they can take a walk alongside the street covered by green grass or swim in the limpid water nearby after a long day without worrying no one driving them.
On the other hand，the advantages of being raised in cities seems to be more obvious since urban children have more access to education resources and opportunities to improve their all-round ability. To be more specific，the faculty in cities，undeniably，is better than that in the countryside and the teaching facilities，like interactive whiteboard and overhead projector，are also rarely seen in the rural areas. Besides，the activities in urban schools are far more colorful and educational，which can cultivate their integrated skills. For instance，students in urban places can significantly enlarge their knowledge scope and enhance their interactive skills through the Model United Nations.
In conclusion，even though the countryside provides children with seemingly healthier life，cities can afford them incomparable opportunities to enhance their competitiveness and make better preparation for the future.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am glad you will attend the meeting next Monday and I am writing to you to introduce the arrangements involved in your stay.

The hotel I booked for you，Shangri-La， is one of the most well-known hotels and is located next to our company within five minutes' walk. You can get a great view of the whole city when standing in your room.
As for the schedule for the meeting，I think it is quite easy to follow. It starts with a speech given by our executive manager at 8 am，followed by the introduction and discussion about opening new branches in your country，which may last 3 hours before we get the final decision.
Those are all the arrangements for now and I am looking forward to hearing from you and ready for any adjustment as you like.
