The Year of the Goat was a main reason for the low newborns in 2015，a report said．
There were 16.55million babies born in China last year，about 320，000fewer than 2014，the Year of the Horse，it said．
China began to allow couples where one partner was an only child to have a second child in late 2013，which made 11million couples eligible （符合条件的）．
People expected the policy to result in 1million more births compared with 2014．However，that did not happen．There is an old Chinese saying that 9out of 10people born in the Year of the Goat are unlucky in their lives．
It was reported that the decline （下降） was mainly because of the Year of the Goat．China will likely welcome 17.5to 21million newborns yearly in the next five years．
In 2015，the number of women aged 15to 49，considered to be of childbearing age，fell by 5million from 2014，In addition，the group between 20and 29years old，who are main childbearing people，has declined by 1.5million，the report said．
Among babies born last year，the number of first children dropped by 850，000from 2014，or 4.1percent，At the same time，it said．At the same time，the number of the second children increased by 450，000．
The number of Chinese women of childbearing age reached the highest point in 2011 and then began to decline．

May 29th
Dear Jenny,
I’m sorry you’re ill at home and can’t come to school this week, let me tell you what you have on Monday next week.
We have math at 8:00. It’s boring, I think! Then we have English. That’s interesting, I know you love English. Next is P.E. . The fourth lesson is art. That’s my favorite subject! In the afternoon, we only have two classes. We have history with Mr Chen. He is fun but history isn’t. Then at 2:00 we have science with Miss Jones. I don’t like her because she is too strict. Then we go and see a movie. It’s a cartoon — Tom and Jerry. And I like it very much. In the evening, we have a party, because the day is June 1st.
Yours,
Ben
