I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. “I am Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “I can’t talk with you. I’m busy,” he said. He was chatting online and, at the same time playing a computer game—a war game. I was surprised.
Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek (电脑迷), but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction. I was unhappy. I put my hand in front of the monitor and he shouted, “Leave me alone.” I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people, especially Steve. I wouldn’t want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people. I was worried and sank in my thoughts.

【答案】Dear Tom,
Glad to hear from you. As we all know fewer young people in China are willing to have a second child. The reasons are as follows:
Firstly, raising a child in China can be very expensive. Parents need to spend a lot of money on the child’s education and daily necessities. Secondly, having a child requires a lot of time and energy, which is a challenge for many working parents. Thirdly, having more children means a bigger house, but the house prices are too high in China. Fourthly, mothers may lose their jobs because of having a baby. It is not uncommon to hear that women lose their jobs or their salaries decrease after giving birth. Lastly, women are more independent in China now and not willing to give up their work.
In conclusion, it is a complex issue that requires the government and society to work together to find a solution.
Best wishes
Yours,
Li Hua
