Moving to Lake Street
Hi Ben,
Our family is moving next month to a house on Lake Street, which is only five minutes on foot from my new junior high school. My father used to live on the same street when he was a boy, so he knows the area well. He even drew me a map of the shops near our new house.
The house is old, and the ceiling in my room is quite low, but my father says I can paint the walls any color I like. I am thinking about light blue with a white pattern, although my sister wants me to choose yellow.
Your aunt says she will cook her famous spaghetti for you, just as she used to cook it for your mother when they were girls!
Your cousin,
Jack

ARTICLE
Smaller Families
Fifty years ago, many families in Taiwan had five or six children, and brothers and sisters shared almost everything, from rooms to clothes and even shoes. Today, a lot of couples have only one child, and some decide not to have children at all, because raising a child costs a lot of money.
Small families have good points. Parents have more time and money for each child, so an only child often gets the chance to learn music or play a sport after school.
However, there are also problems. An only child may feel lonely, because there is no one at home to play or talk with. When the parents get old, one child must take care of them alone. Some people believe that smaller families will change the future of the country.

29According to the article, what is one problem of small families?

BRaising one child costs too much money
CParents have less money for their child
