Nowadays, people often thought that it is of great value to have a nuclear family instead of having an extended family. Raising up a small family is beneficial owing to the reduction of chaos and misunderstanding in the family , and it lowers the amount of money spent on tuition fees but there are drawbacks to be taken into account.
One major benefit of having a smaller family is that there will be few times when the family will experience misunderstanding amongst themselves which reduces a child’s tendency of being aggressive in the future. For instance, in 2015, UNICEF outcome in their research states that 70 percent of stubborn children are raised in an extended home. Additionally, the amount of money that is required to cater for a child’s education and the domestic needs will be minimal, thereby, saving up so much for the family. This will enable them to boost their wealth status in the society. Which is as a result of them having few financial responsibilities to deal with in the family.
On the other hand , a major issue with small family is that parent give so much love and care to their children because there are few of them. This will however lead to a child finding it so difficult to be independent when they become adult. This has often times led to a negative outcome in their adulthood. Another disadvantage is that small family reduces the success tendency in a home, because parent most times limit the children from doing what they love but instead what their parent expects of them.
In conclusion, while smaller family is advantageous to the society, people should be aware of the setback such as lack of independency children face when they become adult and their inability to decide for themselves in their personal life goal.

Parents throughout the world place spend time reading with their offspring to prepare them for school where their literacy skills are further developed; however, recent research suggests that focusing on reading at an early age can be detrimental, and participating in fun activities would be far more beneficial. I am a strong advocate of this approach, and the benefits of it will be covered in this essay.
A fundamental reason for this is that there is no biological age for reading, and pushing infants to acquire this skill before they are ready could have repercussions. For example, in the UK, many boys are reluctant readers, possibly because of being forced to read, and this turned them off reading. By focusing on other activities and developing other skills such as creativity and imagination, when they are ready to read, they usually acquire this skill rapidly. In addition, the importance of encouraging creativity and developing a child’s imagination must be acknowledged. Through play, youngsters develop social and cognitive skills, for example, they are more likely to learn vocabulary through context rather than learning it from a book.
Furthermore, play allows youngsters to mature emotionally, and gain self-confidence. There is no scientific research which suggests reading at a young age is essential for a child’s development, moreover, evidence suggests the reverse is true. In Finland, early years’ education focuses on playing. Reading is only encouraged if a child shows and interest in developing this skill. This self-directed approach certainly does not result in Finnish school leavers falling behind their foreign counterparts. In fact, Finland was ranked the sixth best in the world in terms of reading.
Despite being a supporter of this non-reading approach, I strongly recommend incorporating bedtime stories into a child’s daily routine. However, reading as a regular daytime activity should be swapped for something which allows the child to develop other skills.
In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out abou the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research for this?
Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place or moving in search of another place? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.
Researches has shown that spending much less time in office can reduce the use of energy for example electricity gas . Thus some companies close for days or a week. Do the advantages of this development outweighs the disadvantages.
