1 . China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out onechild policy (政策) before. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.
From 2016, twochild policy is put into effect. In my opinion, twochild policy is good. First of all, twochild policy is the gift for the only child (独生子女). For some families, maybe the parents are the only child and they can also have only one child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child will marry an only child girl; the burden(负担) on their child and his wife will be too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually it's a little difficult for a young couple to look after an old couple. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, twochild policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.
All in all, onechild policy has been out of date. And twochild policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of the present and the future.
