    Theme: two-child policy in China & the childbearing ideology of young generation in China
    New words: the childbearing ideology生育觀念, two-child policy二孩政策, economic foundation經濟基礎, Spoil寵溺, Pampered by mother媽寶, housing price房價, strawberry generation草莓族, alimony贍養費/生活費, living expenses/living costs生活費
    Self-evaluation: In the contemporary society, the childbearing ideology of young generation have changed a great deal compared with old generation. They are more likely to give birth to one child instead of having a big family in the future because the living costs is higher and higher, including the superhigh housing price and tighter job market, which give them too much pressure. What’s more, due to one-child policy in the past 10 years, many young people are the only child at their family and they got many love from their family members, even spoiled by their parents. As a result, these young people have more difficulties in learning how to be independent and how to be considerate to others. They will be defeated by hardship easily, which makes them a name called “strawberry generation”. In that case, “strawberry generation” prefer to live with their parents forever rather than have a baby to take care of.

    Self-evaluation: Learning how to rent an apartment is a really important skill for university students who are going to move out of parents’ house and deal their own daily life themselves. Although I live in dormitory, I helped my Korean friend to find a room these days. Then I learned how to rent an apartment. As for me, the most crucial matter is safety issue of the apartment. Especially for girls, we have to keep our safety in mind wherever we go. Then I will take rent into consideration because as an university student, I should study how to manage my finance. Of course, there are many other factors needing to be concerned, such as utility, furniture, lease and lacation.
