"Let's go wrestling，Dad!" 《摔跤吧，爸爸》is one of the Top 10 movies recently． It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters． His name's Mahavir． In real life， he is called"the father of Indian women wrestling"， because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts．
A very famous Indian actor﹣Amir Khan，played the role of Mahavir in the movie． It was an unusual experience for him to play this role． Amir Khan was very serious about his character and tried to make this character close to the true story． In order to act well，he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then do sports to be very strong in a short time．
Amir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie． He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food． He became too fat to run quickly．
It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong． Amir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and it took him a few months to be strong． He must eat less and drink more． Strengthtraining is also important． This kind of physical training is very boring． He had to lift different weight and do it over and over again． Amir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it， he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up． In the end， he became the exact person the movie needs．

Are you the only child in your family？ Have you heard of"the two﹣child policy（政策）"？
Everyone knows the one﹣child policy． It is a population control method． Chinese government aimed to control the increasing population at that time． Many Chinese couples understood thatand followed this policy for nearly 40 years． Everyone should be responsible for our country．
However， as time goes by， some problems appear in our society． At present， these problems are many about：

● China is now getting into aging（老龄化）society．There will be more old people in the following years． But the society will be short of doctor and nurses to take care of them．
● The population of China will be become smaller and smaller if one﹣child policy continues． It's the basic reason that leads to the two problems above．
That's why Chinese government began the two﹣child policy on January 1 st，2016． It allows each family to have two children． The government expects it can help solve those social problems gradually． This policy will help offer enough workers in the future and prevent our country from entering the aging society． It is reported that will be around 2.5 million newly﹣born babies each years．
