The one-child policy Chinese parents can have only one child, it called the ”one-child policy” in China. The policy started in 1979 and it stopped around 400 million births. Traditionally, Chinese families prefer boys. If a girl was born to some Chinese families, they left her and tried again for a boy. That makes me disappointed. Luckily, my father and mother are very fond of me, although I'm just a girl. All this, however, may soon change. The Chinese government is planning to let people there have two children. That’s a good news.

The one-child policy

Chinese parents can have only one child, it called the ”one-child policy” in China. The policy started in 1979 and it stopped around 400 million births.

Traditionally, Chinese families prefer boys. If a girl was born to some Chinese families, they left her (where did they leave her?) and tried again for a boy. That makes me disappointed (sad / upset?). Luckily, my father and mother are very fond of me, although I'm just a girl.

All this, however, may soon change. The Chinese government is planning to let people there have two children. That’s a good news.

 

Very Good :D

The One-child Policy

Chinese parents can only have one child/are only allowed to have one child, it is called the "one-child policy" in China. The policy started in 1979 and it stopped around 400 million births.

Traditionally, Chinese families prefer boys. If a girl was born to some Chinese families, they left her/abandoned her and tried again for a boy. That makes me (feel) disappointed. Luckily, my father and mother are very fond of me, although I'm a girl.

All this, however, may soon change. The Chinese government is planning to let people here have two children. That’s good news.
