Double Income Families-2 Another positive facet to growing up in a double income family is that children have opportunity to learn how to be independent and prevent them from parents’ overprotection as well. Some people might argue that growing up with parents help their psychological development. Regarding with this, I would like to retort that most of developed countries provide parental leave until children is 3 years old. Through this policy, parents still can keep current jobs and accompany with children until 3 years old which is the most important period toward one’s psychological development. In conclusion, I would like to restate that I personally believe that the benefits of double income families override its drawbacks. Furthermore, people’s concern with without parents’ company during children’s childhood can be solved through applying for parental leave.

Double Income Families-1 Double income families are prevailing in modern society. Some people argue this family style make children grow up under parentless environment while some believe children obtain abundant resource if they live in affluent families. However, in this essay, I would like to contend that the advantages of living in double income family outweigh its disadvantages. Firstly, it is undeniable that double income families can provide more financial support compared with the normal household which merely one parent works. Double income families could invest more money on children’s education to gain quality resource. Furthermore, some families can’t afford all household expenditure if one of them is take care of children at home. As a result, I believe that double income families are necessary to exist for some households’ economic status.

IELTS Task 1-1 Given are three bar charts comparing the average years of school, number of scientists and technicians and research &development expenditure among developing and industrialized countries in 1980 and 1990. In term of the number of average years of schooling received, in 1980, people in industrialized area gained approximately 8 years education in average while people in developing area merely received 2 years education in average. After 10 years, the gap had widened slightly with 11 years in industrialized countries and 3 years in developing countries. As for the number of scientists and technicians, there are similar trend as first graph has been seen. For industrialized countries, the number was around 42 scientists and technicians per 1,000 people in 1980, and then had increased to 70 people in 1990. However, developing area merely saw slight progress from 10 people per 1,000 people in 1980 to 18 people in 1990. Finally, regard with R&D investment, affluent countries, around 150 billion dollars in 1980 and 350 billion dollars in 1990 were been invested. Conversely, in less affluent countries, only 50 billion dollars in 1980 was spent and its investment even decreased half amount after 10 years. Overall we can see that industrialized countries implicated longer education period, fostered more scientists and technicians and invested more capital on R&D compared with developing countries.

Nature or Nurture?-2 Furthermore, there are some research teams found out that gene will not be changed, but methylation of DNA will be influenced by diet habits and living environment which might cause different diseases such as cancers and melancholia. From this research consequence, one of identical twin has psychological disease, which tell us personality still can be have dramatic change as human getting older. Clearly, nurture factor is more important than natural gene toward personality development. In conclusion, I would like to restate that I believe that environment have greater affect people more than decided it by gene. Not only identical twins might have distinct characteristics, but also their psychological status might be changed due to later lifestyle.

Nature or Nurture?-1 The issue of whether personality development is influenced by gene more compared with be affected by nurtured environment or not is contentious. Since personality traits and their cause are virtually impossible to quantify, it is difficult to analysis the relation between personality development and environment factor. In this essay, I would like to argue that environment factors have greater influence on ones characteristics. My point of views is as follows. According to some parents who have identical, there are have different views toward their twins’ personalities. Some said their identical twins have similar personality and preference while some observers that their twins have opposite characteristics with almost exact same look. As a result, we can figure even identical twins that have with the same genes might still be attributed distinct traits, not to mention that parents opinions or survey result of twins is objective or not. Therefore, I personal believe gene is not the main factor to affect human’s personality.
