The Advantages of Being Only One Child
First of all, one advantage of being only one child is that parents can take care of their child well. Everyone has to adapt the changing society because everything changes fast now. Parents have to work hard to earn more money for having a good life. As a result, parents almost have no time to look after their children. Moreover, if they have only one child, they can educate the child much better. For example, I have an elder sister. Both of my parents have to work hard to make a good life for us so that they have limited time to look after my sister an. However, I always stay alone and my parents cannot look after my sister and me well.
Secondly, another advantage of being only one child is that families can make our environment better. The pollution has been more and more serious now because of the increase of the world's population. If there is only one child in a family, it will be a good way to save resouces. In China, all students use new books every semester, but we have one child policy now. Almost every student is the only one child now so that a lot of trees need not to be cut down to make books.
The last but not the least advantage of being only one child is that it is equal to women and men. In some poor areas in China, many families have three to five children because they want to have a boy baby. If the mother gives a birth to a girl baby, they will give birth to another baby. Parents always let their boy baby go to better schools and give them better clothes and food. If there is only one child in a family, parents will look after their baby no matter what the sex their baby is.
In conclusion, there are many advantages of being only one child in a family. Parents can look after their child well, our environment can be better and women and men can be equal if there is only one child in a family.

Troy
The most unforgettable scene in my mind is the story of “Trojan horse”. The unfocused horse is just the most significant stuff of the war. The movie is about the Trojan War. The war lasted for ten years; it was one of the hugest classic wars in the world’s history. At the end of the war, the Achaean used a particular way to finish the war, and it is just the “Trojan Horse”. It was a day when the Trojans discovered that the Achaean had left, and they thought that the war was terminated. However, they found a huge wooden horse near the sea. The Greeks was astonished by the wooden horse, they debated what to do with it, some suggested to pull the horse into the city, and others argued that it should be burned. Just then, they captured a man from Greek, and he told the king that the huge wooden horse was used to dedicate the Athena. The king believed it and they finally decided to keep the horse in the city. They began a carnival to celebrate for their win of the long-time war. They sang and danced, everybody was enjoying himself or herself and almost all of them got wasted because they were so happy for winning the war. It was midnight when they went to sleep and had dreams about peaceful pictures. However, the man who lied to the king was a spy. He made secret signal to the huge horse, and thousands of soldiers came out of the wooden horse, they beat the guard easily and they burned every corner of the city, as the great Troy disappeared in a second!
The story told us that once you neglect something, which looks tiny, you would get punished. So we should consider every single tiny thing when we are doing something important!

The cause of stress
With the quick pace of life, stress plays a more and more important role in our daily life because it can cause different effects not only negative one such as illness but also positive one such as strong forward momentum. So it’s necessary for us to study the conflict causes of stress in order to release ourselves and make the effects positive. From my point of view, there are three main causes for the stress such as school problems, financial problems and relationship problems.
Firstly, school stress, which comes from a lot of homework and endless exams, affects a large numbers of students. In China, middle school and high school students have classes from 8a.m to 6p.m every weekday. When they go back home from school, they should spend at least 2 hours on homework which is difficult. What is worse, some students are sent to have extra classes such as math and physic on weekends. Moreover, not only parents but also teachers always focus on their grades. If they do not get a high mark or ranking, they may be scolded. So students are stressful.
The second cause is financial problems, which means some people are stressful because they lack of money. There is a saying in China "Money is not omnipotent, but people cannot live without money absolutely." People will feel stressful if they do not have enough money to live well. For example, some workers do not earn much, but they need to pay for their child's tuition fee and look after their old parents. They may think about better life all the day that stress will be caused.
Last but not least, relationship is also a important cause of stress such as the change of relationship between relatives or friends. There are many cases of commit suicide in our country. Most of the cases are caused because one parts company with her/his boyfriend or girlfriend. They think it has been the end of the world after they parted. They lost their love and they feel humiliated. As a result, they are stressful so that they choose to commit suicide. Furthermore, some people may be stressful after they quarrel with others because they consider that their friendship or relatives' love have been broken down.
In conclusion, a number of events can cause stress. I think three causes school problems, financial problems and relationship problems are the most important facts. There's nothing wrong with a little pressure, but excess stress may leads to illness. So it’s really important for us to know where the stress come from and try to change stress into motivity.
