conclusion​

showcase​

Topic: in some parts of the world, the rate of divorce has increased dramatically over the past few decades.

【describe the topic】 The divorce rate is increasing in many places. 【cause idea】 I believe that the breakdown of the extended family and the stresses of work are the major causes of this situation. Fortunately, although these issues have led to a rise in the divorce rate, there are ways we can solve this problem.

Main idea: Breakdown of the extended family past: family helped with child care. past: family helped with expenses. Now: people don't have this support.

In my opinion, the biggest cause for divorce is the breakdown of the extended family.

In the past, a family was made up of parents, grandparents, children, and other relatives. This meant that expenses could be shared in times of financial difficulty. These days, people do not have this kind of support from their families, and this puts more stress on a marriage.

【conclusion】 There are a lot of demands in modern life that place stress on marriage and lead to divorce. However, people can choose to make changes to their lifestyle that can result in a better, stronger marriage. ::::
