VIP Class Notes (Tibo) (S)

I read the news about the government encourage couples to have 3 kids.
That is surprising because in the past decades we can’t have child, if you want to have a second baby you need to pay an additional fee but now something has changed and the government encourages us to have 3 babies because elder people increase and the government needs to change the trend.
I think in our society more and more people like stay single and even we married a lot of people don’t want to have a baby.
in my traditional mind I would like to have a baby but in the society a lot of pressure with us so maybe we cannot afford babies.
if you have a baby you have put a lot of money on their education, it is not enough educated in the school.

I think it depends, in China there are a lot of cities so in the big cities such as SH, GZ. we state in a high price,  the house price is high . cost of living  is high and so is education and your house are related.
A lot of people want to buy a house in the center of the city in other ways they want to give their kids for a good education but if in the small cities a lot of people have less pressure so they like to have 2 or 3 children.

In the past people want to move to the big cities for more opportunities to develop their carreers but now everything changes. You can make money wherever  you are because we have advanced internet.

except online jobs in the offline jobs. In society we have a lot of opportunities to make money such as in the small cities you can open a restaurant or an education institution because a lot of demand around us.

a lot of influencer restaurant.
they put a lot of money to promotion online.

I read the news about the government encouraging /allowing couples to have 3 kids.
That is surprising because in the past decades we couldn’t have more than 1 child/ we had to follow the single child policy, if you wanted to have a second baby you had to pay an additional fee but now something has changed and the government encourages us to have 3 babies because elder people increase/ the population is aging and the government needs to change the trend. / needs to correct the aging demographic 
I think in our society more and more people like to stay/remain single and even if we get married a lot of people don’t want to have a baby.
Personally I would like to have a baby but in the society we are under a lot of pressure so maybe we cannot afford to have/to raise babies.
if you have a baby you have put a lot of money on their education, it is not enough to just be educated in the school / school is not enough and you have to pay for extra training lessons.

I think it depends, in China there are a lot of cities so in the big cities/ first tier cities such as SH, GZ.  the real estate market is high,  the house price is high . The cost of living  is high and so is education and your house are related.
A lot of people want to buy a house in the center of the city in other ways they want to give/provide their kids a good education but if they are in a small city / a 3rd or 4th tier city a lot of people have less pressure so they like to have 2 or 3 children.

In the past people wanted to move to the big cities for more opportunities to develop their careers but now everything has changed. You can make money wherever  you are because we have advanced internet. / advance communication systems

except online jobs in the offline jobs / if you just consider offline jobs. In society we have a lot of opportunities to make money such as in the small cities you can open a restaurant or an education institution because there is lot of demand around us. / because there is a need for those places.

now there are a lot influencers’ restaurant.

In our generation a lot of people study abroad and they are more familiar with foreigners / with how other countries do things
China has 1.4B people but the financial centers are just SH,GZ,SZ. so a lot of people want to move there. So that is why the real estate price is so high.
