Answer 1

【答案】例文:

Dear David,

Thanks for your email. I'm very happy to answer your questions. With the development of economy, many people are moving from the countryside to cities in eastern China for work. Unbalanced development of educational resources and the hope that the children get a better education make some people have the strong feeling to live in cities. These are the main reasons of the increasing population in eastern cities. Population growth is helpful to the development of cities. But because of the large population, not only the cost of living but also housing price is too high. Most cities are more crowded than before, and the traffic is much heavier. Natural environments are becoming worse and worse. Cities in eastern China are developing quickly and people’s living condition are improving rapidly, but the population problem is still serious. Since the one-child policy, the problem of aging population in cities is becoming more and more serious. Aging population leads to lack of labor force. Thus, the two-child policy is being put into effect.

I hope my answers will be of some help to your survey.

Yours,

Li Ming
