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
嗨，班：
我們家下個月要搬到湖濱街的一間房子，那裡走路到我的新國中只要五分鐘。我爸爸小時候就住在同一條街上，所以他對那一帶很熟。他甚至幫我畫了一張新家附近商店的地圖。
房子很舊，我房間的天花板也相當低，不過爸爸說我可以把牆漆成任何我喜歡的顏色。我在考慮淺藍色配白色圖案，雖然我妹妹想要我選黃色。
你阿姨說她會煮她拿手的義大利麵給你吃，就像她們小時候她常煮給你媽媽吃一樣！
你的表弟

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.
五十年前，台灣許多家庭有五、六個孩子，兄弟姊妹幾乎什麼都共用，從房間、衣服甚至到鞋子。如今，很多夫妻只有一個孩子，有些甚至決定完全不生，因為養一個孩子要花很多錢。
小家庭有它的好處。父母對每個孩子能付出更多時間與金錢，所以獨生子女常有機會在放學後學音樂或做運動。
但也有一些問題。獨生子女可能會覺得寂寞，因為家裡沒有人能陪他玩或聊天。當父母年老時，一個孩子必須獨自照顧他們。有些人認為小家庭將會改變國家的未來。
