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. WorksheetMultiple choice:1.
