In many countries, people spend more and more time away from their families.
What causes this trend?
What effects do you think it has on themselves and their families?
• 说明文题型，问原因和结果。家庭大话题下的老话题，就在2021年8月12日刚考过。审题时需注意：结果的部分，必须从“个人”和“家庭”两个层面讨论。
【段落示范】
【结果】
1. This trend may bring both positive and negative effects on individuals and households.
* 总起句点出两个层面各有利弊。
2. To illustrate, either the students or workers who live alone away from home will become more independent, as they have to cope with a colossal quantity of trivialities ranging from getting familiarised with the rail network to handling various paperwork.
* 个人层面-好处：独立。
3. However, they may also feel homesick for the lifestyle in this city may be quite different from the one they are used to live.
* 个人层面-坏处：孤独思乡。
4. In terms of families, while young couples may receive decent payments, the family bonds will be severely impacted, which will either render their grown-up children estranged from them or make their aged parents suffer from empty-nest syndrome.
* 家庭层面-利弊：可能有更好的收入，但家庭关系疏离，导致要么孩子缺少父母教育，要么父母经受空巢综合症的煎熬。
