学生考场力作
In the past, it was a natural step that a couple would get married fairly young, and then started a family. However, this is no longer the case and the delaying of childbirth is becoming very common. This essay will consider the reasons for this trend and the possible effects on families and society.
【小伙伴们，这一段分成3个部分，第一个是背景介绍，第二个是题目，第三个是比较老套的文章介绍，结构非常经典，也比较保守。在转译题目方面，他用到了主动+换词的方式，同学们可以学习噢。在第一段的写作中，不用写的特别离奇，特别新颖，主要是展示文章开头段的功能。】
The driving force behind this trend is changing employment patterns. As more women have pursued an education and entered the workforce, they tend to marry later and have children later in their life. This is unavoidable in many cases because women cannot combine family and work well due to costly childcare.Another factor is all the other opportunities available to everyone. For example, many men and women choose to travel around the world or take the chance to work in another country, thus delaying settling down.
【第二段回答了题目中的前两个问题。这段里面有一个非常明显的MI值得童鞋们学习。不足点：SE比较单薄，句式、语法有一定的灵活性，但相对固定。】
There are a number of possible impacts on families and society. Firstly, with regards to families, it can be more difficult for older women to get pregnant and they may experience more health problems, such as a miscarriage, high blood pressure or diabetes, during pregnancy. Also, the parents may find the whole experience of bringing up children more tiring if they are older. In one respect it may be positive for society because if people are choosing to work for longer, a country will have a productive workforce. On the negative side though, in the long-term falling fertility rates will mean an aging population with a lack of young people to work and take care of the elderly.
【第三段值得我们学习的是：他的联接比较好，也用了一些加分的词汇，最后他讨论了正反两个方面的影响，但未给出足够的论证支撑，这个问题其实在上一段也就是第二段就已经出现了。】
In conclusion, there are several reasons that people are having children later in life, and this can have a number of impacts, both positive and negative. Given the fact that society continues to change, this trend is likely to continue well into the future.
【结尾段比较经典，没有什么新颖的地方，总结了全文并给出了自己的观点。】
