Most couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan to have childrenSeveral years agopeople thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantageThat was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the familyBut with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single yearhaving a big family is no longer considered to be a practical optionIn factmore couples consider that they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all
According to the Australian Institute of Family Studiesby 1986women aged 40 to 44 yearswere considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36 vs27) or four or more children (19)Howevertaken togetherwomen were still more likely to have had three or more children than to have had two children (46 vs36)
In recent yearswomen were more likely to have had two children than three or more childrena trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38 vs25 in 1996 38 vs22 in 2006)These daysmost families in Australia have two childrenBut the number of women who had GIVEN BIRTH TO a single child INCREASED PROGRESSIVELY from only 8 in 1981 to 13 in 2006
The USCensus Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America todayThis COMPRISES 20 OF the children’s population COMPARED TO only 10 around fifty years ago

Nowadaysmost of the Web is inaccessible (接触) to most people in the world because its content splits up into hundreds of languages with over 50 of it in EnglishThis problem is pressingnow more than everwith millions of people from ChinaRussiaLatin America and other quickly developing regions entering the Web

This is why a new project called Duo lingo is introduced hereDuolingo aims at breaking the language barrierand thus making the Web truly world wide

With Duo lingopeople learn and translate a foreign language at the same timeWhen you learn on Duo lingothe website gives you exercises set specifically for you that teach you every aspect of the new languageYou may be asked to translate a sentenceto pronounce or listen to a phraseor to describe what you see in an imageIn this wayDuo lingo produces translations that are as accurate as those from professional language translators

Most couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan to have childrenSeveral years agopeople thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantageThat was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the familyBut with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single yearhaving a big family is no longer considered to be a practical optionIn factmore couples consider that they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all
According to the Australian Institute of Family Studiesby 1986women aged 40 to 44 yearswere considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36 vs27) or four or more children (19)Howevertaken togetherwomen were still more likely to have had three or more children than to have had two children (46 vs36)
In recent yearswomen were more likely to have had two children than three or more childrena trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38 vs25 in 1996 38 vs22 in 2006)These daysmost families in Australia have two childrenBut the number of women who had GIVEN BIRTH TO a single child INCREASED PROGRESSIVELY from only 8 in 1981 to 13 in 2006
The USCensus Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America todayThis COMPRISES 20 OF the children’s population COMPARED TO only 10 around fifty years ago
