practice current events article

The ideas that are being discussed in the article are how China is controlling the amount of children that women could have. The article further explains how the fertility rate would make a sharp decrease from around six children per women in 1970s, to under two children in 2008. This has occurred in China for around 25 years because a county in China, Yicheng, had a two-child policy during this time. Three questions that I would pose to make the article more sense is to help the reader understand more why this is occurring, is there a history behind this? In order to have a better understanding of the article, a synopsis of the history behind the reasons that China is controlling the amount of children women could have, rather than just start from 2010.
