The structure of families and the role of its members are changing gradually.
What kinds of changes are they?
Do these changes have a positive effect or negative effects?（家庭结构变化）
这篇文章感觉话题还是挺抽象的，也不知道也没有写离题。主要是确实还挺难想的。
Nowadays, gradually changes can be seen in the structure of families and the role of its members. From where I stand, I consider that the changes in the numbers of family members and the structure of incomes（前后要加s嘛） can be noted, and it is a negative effect.（5分钟）（有点卡在I consider找changes那里，感觉这个题目的开头必须得写直接写出原因呀，不能像以前那种含糊带过）
One obvious change in the structure of families is that the numbers of family members are less than before. For example, in China, people would like to have more children before because of the custom, so families may had both brothers and sisters. However, with the growing cost of nurture children, people may be unwilling to have many children, or even do not want to give birth to children. Thus, the numbers of family members is seen a decrease. Another change can be seen in the role of members in family, which is about the income. In previous families, the main responsibility of woman is look after the children and make a good meal, while man is required to work for money. In contrast, woman and man all have to work in order to support their family nowadays due to the increasing living cost.（25分钟）
About above changes, I consider that they have a negative effect. Firstly, these changes will cause aging problem in some cases. If more and more people even do not want to give birth to children, the population of the young will drop gradually, which means that the power of creativity of the country will be cut down due to the aging problem. In addition, the changes will make people under high pressure. For example, if woman and man are all required to work, nobody can have enough time to care about their children and other details of family, and people may find that it is hard to continue their favourite interests.（35分钟）
In conclusion, the numbers of family and the structure of incomes are changing gradually. Considering that the aging problem will be caused and people may live under pressure, it is not a positive changes.（38分钟）大作文2（39mins, 358 words）
In many counties women are not able to join the army to share equal opportunities as men to serve the country, but some people think women can be a member of the arm, navy and air-force.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.（女性参军问题）
这篇也挺难的，题目理解上不太清楚是women在军队没有同等机会，还是说women不允许参军。
There has been much debate about whether women can be a member of the army to share equal chances as men to serve the nation. From where I stand, I consider that women can join the army like arm, navy and air-force.（4分钟30秒）（感觉不太好改写...）
On the one hand, some people believe that women should not share the qual opportunities to protect their country. They have some points to support their view. Firstly, women do not have the innate advantage of strength compared with men. As we all known, working in army needs high physical quality such as run fast continually. If women are encouraged to join the army, it is probably that they can not keep the same level of physical strength like men, which may cause the fail of war. In addition, especially in the time of war, women are considered as the hope of newborn life. In the custom, women always do better in look after their baby and the old man in family, whereas men are good at fighting naturally. Thus, it is a good choice that men should attend the army, while women should stay to care their family.（24分钟）
However, in my opinion, I believe that women should enjoy the equal opportunities as men to serve the country nowadays. The main reason is that with the development of technology, strength is not the only factors to win a war. In contrast, with the help of different kinds of computers and machines（都要加s吗）, people are required to learn how to control it well and focus on the information screen. Thus, clever and professional should be more important. Another reason is that some tasks in the army are more suitable for women rather than men. For example, women have the innate ability of patient and understanding others, which is necessary in questioning prisoner. Therefore, each sex of people are required equally.（36分钟）
In conclusion, considering that strength is not the only factors in today's war, and women have the innate ability of patient to do better in some tasks, I firmly believe that women can join the army to have the equal opportunities as men to serve the country.（39分钟）
