What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning long lists of words. That’s wrong! Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.

Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it’s no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right.

People not only make history, but also they make languages. But they can only make their own language. They can’t create another language. So Chinese students should pay attention to the grammar, but they shouldn't overdo it. They should put communication first.

China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, the government carried out one-child policy (政策) before. However, for some time, many people see not only its advantages but also disadvantages.

From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion two-child policy is the present for the only child. The only child in the family is always lonely. For some families, maybe the parents are the only child and they can also have only one child. When their child grows up and they grow older, and their child marries an only child girl, the burden (负担) on their child and his wife will be too heavy. Their child and his wife will have to take care of two couples. Usually, a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult. But their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. At the same time two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.

All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of today and the future.
