Only children in families often receive the best care, sometimes ,even get a lot of indulgence .Parents always try their best to satisfy their children’s needs .Those children, who are called “little emperors” ,are in danger of too much love .
However these kids often fell lonely because neither their parents nor their classmates can take the place of a brother or a sister.
It seems that only children are still not ready to do their duty .some elder only children have already graduated from college .But they still depend on their parents .They need a longer time to change for their jobs, because they were brought up in a safe environment.

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence“How do you do? ” for example, if you look up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation(翻译)? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages don’t just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples. ” “Only she likes apples. ”
“I have seen the film already. ” “I have already seen the film. ”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
