    Since the one-baby policy (carry) out in China, Chinese families have been shrinking from one with over 10 members to the other with only three including parents and one baby. Things are usually out of our expectation. Apart from the benefits have been mentioned enough, small families are now beginning to have own problems. Because parents are having fewer children, they increasingly feel the need (control) the lives of those children. As a result, many children are becoming less (depend), determined and ambitious than in the past.   

Parents today discourage their children from doing housework, extracurricular activities and socializing they fear it will interrupt their education. For example, when I was younger I wanted to learn the guitar my parents wouldn't allow me because they believed it would distract me from my studies. They are happy as long as I perform (wonder) in my exams but don't seem concerned about how I develop a person.

To some extent, I understand parents' concerns, but I think they should love their children for they are, not what they want them to be. We deserve the chance to chase our own dreams and learn on our own. Even if we fail, we can learn from those failures.
