In China, two-child policy(政策) has come out. That’s to say, China now allows two children for each family. However, different people have different opinions about it. Some parents are willing to have a second child as soon as possible. They think the second baby is a gift for themselves. One child will feel lonely when his parents go out for work. Two kids will help each other and share happiness and sadness together. In Chinese tradition, the old people wouldn’t like to spend their later life in the old people’s home. After the second baby grows up, he will be able to share the pressure of looking after his old parents. China has become a country with an increasing number of old people. Two-child policy will improve the balanced (平衡的) development of population. However, other parents refuse the second child because they have some worries. For example, they can’t afford the cost of education. They also worry that their two children won’t get along with one another. Maybe the young people can’t find jobs easily in the future. For our country, perhaps the policy will lead to the house and population problems.

In a word, more and more families will have a second child. Do you mind having a brother or a sister?

Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination (組合體) of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns (角) and a long moustache (胡子). With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and goodluck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.

We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants (傳人) of the dragon”. In Chinese, “excellent”people are often called “dragons”. A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, “Hoping one's child will become a dragon,” which means hoping he or she will be successful.

It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics. They are creative, confident, brave and quick-tempered. There are some famous “dragons”who have done excellent things, for example, Deng Xiaoping, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all very successful.

There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head – Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years. It was the year of the Dragon in 1976.

The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the“descendants of the dragon”, it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be“dragons”.
