Sample Sentences

上海曾经试点过“以房养老”，效果不好。这次国务院又提出来了，也是有理由的。现在大多都是“4 2 1”的家庭模式，独生子女一代的家庭压力是很大的，而且老年人晚年的花费也在不断增大，这种养老模式能改善“有房没钱”的老年人的现状，拓宽养老的渠道。

Shanghai has tried “using homes to take care of the elderly” once before, and the results weren't good. This time the State Council brought it up again for good reason. Now most people are in “4 2 1” types of families. The pressure on those in the only child generation is extremely great, and the costs for the elderly in their final years continues to rise. This scheme for taking care of the elderly can change the situations of old people “with a house, but no money” for the better, and broaden the avenues for taking care of them.

If we can find a livelihood, then we also want to pursue our studies. But the present situation in China doesn't allow for it. There so many new graduates that there aren't enough jobs to go around. Universities haven't been pure learning institutions for a while. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for extending admissions!

It's definitely true that a lot of young people these days don't want children. But isn't this exactly the thing to relieve the current problem of excessive population growth? Even if the proportion of young people is lower, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's really out of whack, right?
