写作范文

In this highly competitive society, young adults seem to face much heavier pressure from work and social activities than before. Therefore, young couples have a tendency to have children late in life, which leads to a bigger age gap between parents and their children. However, I think this development has more merits.

Initially, if mothers decide to delay childbearing to later ages, they are more likely to provide a better financial condition for their kids. These women as well as their marriage partners may have been able to earn higher salaries because of their working experiences, meaning that they can provide a safer and more comfortable environment for their first baby. They can also afford high quality housing in neighborhoods where their children can be admitted to od schools and lead a wonderful life. The next generation will be better educated and also have a more optimistic outlook for the future.

Another obvious benefit is that these expectant parents are possibly better prepared for all typical duties and responsibilities of motherhood and fatherhood. Their higher level of maturity and a stronger sense of responsibility gained from experience in life and work will make them qualified parents. By that I mean, they are generally more patient and thoughtful, and become od at taking care of new-born babies as well as dealing with emergency with calm and confidence.

In spite of the advantages mentioned above, some hidden risk cannot be overlooked. Wider gap in age also means a bigger generation gap which could inevitably give rise to quarrels and conflicts over lifestyle, study hours and even friend-making and so forth. However, if parents and kids can spend more time communicating and exchanging their feelings, I believe many problems could be solved. That is to say, parents could learn to be more open-minded and encourage their children to express their ideas freely, and meanwhile, children should be more considerate so that the two generations would be closer to each other.

In conclusion, age difference will not be a problem, and mature parents certainly know what is best for their kids.

重点表达

在经济上更加宽裕be in a better financial condition，工给**更好的生活条件provide children with better living conditions

对未来有更乐观的展望have a more optimistic outlook for the future

买得起高质量的住房afford high quality housing

准父母可能对母亲和父亲的所有职责都有更好的准备expectant parents are possibly better prepared for all typical duties and responsibilities of motherhood and fatherhood

他们在生活和工作中获得的更高的成熟度和更强的责任感将使他们成为合格的父母。Their higher level of maturity and a stronger sense of responsibility gained from experience in life and work will make them qualified parents.

在生活方式、学习时间甚至交友等方面引发争吵和冲突

give rise to quarrels and conflicts over lifestyle, study hours and even friend-making and so forth
