SPaG – Rules of Speech
Look at the piece of speech below. Think about how you could improve it and what you would change.
I need everyone to stand back said the fireman. Please
help said Mrs Smith my cat is still in the house. Don’t
worry madam, we’ll soon have this fire under control
said the fireman. Thank you said Mrs Smith.
“I need everyone to stand back!” the fireman ordered.
“Please help,” begged Mrs Smith. “My cat is still in the
house.”
“Don’t worry madam, we’ll soon have this fire under
control,” the fireman replied.
“Thank you,” said Mrs Smith.”
This piece of speech has been improved by
following the
Three golden rules for dialogue:1) You must open AND close speech marks;
2) You need to include a piece of punctuation
before you close
your speech marks;
3) New speaker = new line
One thing that people often forget is include
punctuation before you close your speech marks.
Use a . if it’s the end of the sentence.
Use a , if you’re carrying the sentence on.
Use a ? If someone is asking something.
Use a ! If someone is shouting or yelling.
“Do you know what time it is?” asked the train
driver.
Using a new line every time there is a new speaker helps
to organise your writing.

EnglishLI: To research and take notes about China’s ‘One Child Policy’
Do you remember this image from ‘The Viewer’ last week?
What does it show?
What country do you think it could be and why?
Use your inference skills!
This image shows an overcrowded city where there are so many people that they are walking on the streets along with cars. It is likely to be an image from a country like India or China where there is a HUGE population.
In fact, China had such a large and growing population issue/problem that they had to create a law called the ‘One Child Policy.’
I can also infer that it is from a hot country because of the yellow-ish colour which is used to show heat from the sun often.
Today, we are going to be learning all about the
‘One Child Policy’ and this week, we will be
writing a balanced argument explaining
reasons for and against the one child policy.
Task: If you have the internet, you can research facts about China’s One Child Policy or use these slides to support you first.
Today, you need to take notes and understand what the policy was and why it was introduced.
By the end of the lesson, answer these questions:1. What was China’s ‘One Child Policy’?
2. When was it introduced?
3. Why was it introduced?
4. Is it still in place now?
5. What were the advantages and benefits of the policy?
6. What were the disadvantages or reasons against the policy?
InformationChina’s one child policy
China’s one-child policy has been in place for over 30 years and is causing the country to age rapidly. During Chairman Mao’s rule, China’s birthrate was as high as four children per family and there were food shortages that led to famine. At the beginning of the 1980s, the Communist party decided to restrict China’s population growth in order to stabilise food and water supplies and improve individual prosperity. In September 1980, an open letter to the country was issued by the Communist party calling for “one child per couple” rules to “keep the population below 1.2 billion at the end of the 20th century”.
How large an impact has it had?According to the Chinese Health ministry, doctors have performed 336 million abortions and 196 million sterilisations, since 1971 and inserted 403 million intrauterine devices. By contrast, in the United States, which has a population a quarter of the size of China’s, there have been 50 million abortions since 1973. Chinese officials believe the one child policy has reduced the population by 400 million but demographers, citing falling birth rates across Asia, believe it is closer to 100 million.
Are there any exceptions?The policy has been a patchwork of measures. China’s ethnic minorities, such as Uighurs and Tibetans, are exempt. Families in the countryside are permitted to have a second child if their first is a girl and recently couples that were only children themselves were allowed to apply to have more kids. It did not apply to ethnic minorities throughout the country. Han Chinese represented more than 91 percent of the Chinese population. Just over 51 percent of China's population lived in urban areas. In rural areas, Han Chinese families could apply to have a second child if the first child was a girl.For families who observed the one-child rule, there were rewards: higher wages, better schooling and employment, and preferential treatment in obtaining governmental assistance (such as health care) and loans. For families who violated the one-child policy, there were sanctions: fines, wage cuts, employment termination, and difficulty in obtaining governmental assistance.
What are the punishments for breaking the policy?
Women are regularly inspected to check if they are pregnant, even well into their 40s and 50s. Those who are found to be in breach can suffer forced abortions and even sterilisations. In millions of cases, families have been successful in hiding new children. The 1990 census recorded 23 million births but the 2000 census put the number of ten-year-olds at 26 million, suggesting at least three million babies had escaped the notice of family planning officials. Those who are caught can also opt to pay a “social upbringing fee”, usually a multiple of the average income in the city where the child is born, designed to cover the cost of education and healthcare.
EndingIt ended after 2015, as China's demographics had been skewed due to the policy. China does not have enough young people to support the aging demographics, and due to a preference for boys, men of marrying age outnumber women. In all, there were more than 33 million men than women in China in 2016, making it difficult for men of lower socioeconomic status to marry at all. After 2024, India is expected to become the world's most populous, when both countries' populations are expected to reach about 1.4 billion. China's population is forecast to be stable and then decline slightly after 2030, and India will keep growing.
The Long-Term Fallout In 2015 China had an estimated 150 million single-child families with an estimated two-thirds of those thought to be a direct result of the policy.China's sex ratio at birth is more imbalanced than the global average. There are about 113 boys born in China for every 100 girls. While some of this ratio might be biological (the global population ratio is currently about 107 boys born for every 100 girls), there is evidence of sex-selective abortion, neglect, abandonment, and even infanticide of infant females.The recent peak total fertility rate for Chinese women was in the late 1960s, when it was 5.91 in 1966 and 1967. When the one-child rule was first imposed, the total fertility rate of Chinese women was 2.91 in 1978. In 2015, the total fertility rate had dropped to 1.6 children per woman, well below the replacement value of 2.1. (Immigration accounts for the remainder of the Chinese population growth rate.)
Population and migration in Asia
Asia is the world's most populated continent, with 60 per cent of the global population. This has led to unique population policies in China and Singapore.
Population policies in AsiaOne child policy in China
In 1979, the One Child Rule was introduced in China. It is an anti-natal policy (a policy that stops the number of births so the population can be reduced). It was brought in because of concerns about the size of China’s population. In the 1960s, the fertility rate (the average number of children women were having) was as high as 5.7 and the country could not support this rate of population growth. The new policy meant that any couple having a second child would get a heavy fine, around £3,000, which only the very wealthy could afford. Therefore, there were financial incentives or motives to follow the policy.
90% of China’s population were affected by the policy. The remaining 10% were exempt (allowed to not follow the policy) as they were not from the ethnic Han majority.
Over time, the policy was changed and adapted. You were permitted (allowed) to have two babies if:• You lived in rural areas• Both parents were from a one-child household themselves (they didn’t have any
brothers or sisters themselves)• The first child was female • The first child had a disability• The first child died the the Sichuan earthquake in 2008• The mother gave birth to twins or triplets they were allowed to keep them
The impact of the policy – what affect did it have?
• The fertility rate dropped from 5.7 in 1960 to 1.5 in 2011• About 400 million births may have been prevented• In urban areas (city) the policy was very effective• It has led to an ageing population (very old) who depend on a smaller, younger
generation. People are living longer these days because of medicine and hospitals and resources – so there are a lot of old people (from before the policy) who are depending on a smaller younger generation (because they could only have one child) to look after them
• The cultural preference to have boys meant there seems to be a gender imbalance in China – there have been reports of female infanticide (killing your own children) , especially when the policy was first introduced
• Therefore, there is a gender imbalance as there are more boys than girls
Introduction - explaining what the one child policy is and why it was introduced.
China’s one child policy was a population planning policy that was introduced in 1979. It subjected about one-thired of the country’s population to having only one child. If the policy was violated the fines could be imposed on families. The Chinese government claimed that this policy prevented more than 400 million births. The one child policy of China was officially phased out in 2015. It was introduced to alleviate social, economic and environmental problems in China. The authorities claim that policy has prevented more than 250 million births between 1980 and 2000. China has a population of nearly one and a half billion people. They make up almost 20% of the entire world’s population. The food, resources, educational and housing needs and land in China is dwindling and fast.China, which has the world's largest population at 1.4 billion people (25% of the world’s population), introduced the policy in 1979 as a temporary measure to curb a then-surging population and limit the demands for water and other resources. It applied only to couples of the country's ethnic Han majority. Ethnic minorities were allowed more than one child, and five years after the policy was enacted, rural couples were allowed two children if their firstborn was a girl. However, the government estimates the one-child policy has prevented 400 million births and has helped lift countless families out of poverty by easing the strain on the country's limited resources.
Arguments for the one child policy1. It was supported within in the country• 76% of the population in China supported the One Child Policy in surveys taken in 2006• Believe it will have beneficial effects for the country 2. Multiple births were exempted• If families had twins or triplets, then the one child policy was not enforced for that pregnancy• Very wealthy people can pay for a second child3. Changed the place of women in society• Because families were restricted to one child, it changed the traditional role of girls and women in
Chinese society• Families who invest into their children, allowing girls to go to school, receive vocational supports,
and additional training opportunities that may not have been allowed or encouraged in the past • This has allowed quality of life for women in China to increase dramatically over the past generation4. Those who complied were rewarded• To encourage compliance with the policy, the Chinese government provided families with a
certificate that rewarded them with benefits• Money for education, housing improvements, more time off work5. Increased job opportunities/lowered poverty rate• With a smaller generation, there were more jobs available • This would have reduced levels of poverty in China and lessened the food shortages that were
happening• Eased the over-population problem in China• The problem of overcrowding wasn’t just a matter of space. Jobs became very sparse, as well as
food and other resources necessary to live a comfortable and healthy life. Because of the huge growth in people, many were living in extreme poverty conditions. After the one child policy took effect, the poverty rate slowly began to decline in the country.
Arguments against the one child policy
1. Abortion and infanticide rates increased
• The biggest issue with the One Child policy in China is the alarming rate at which children are being killed or abandoned, mostly girls. Since only one child can be had, the overwhelming majority want to have boys. Boys provide labor, money making potential, and a namesake for the family. This fact has surged the amount of infant children, majority girls, who are abandoned or even killed after they are born. Later term abortions are also very common, once the gender of the baby is revealed. Abortion rates are also tremendously high because if a couple already has a child, they are “forced” to abort if they become pregnant with another.
2. The Little Emperor Syndrome
• Having an only child, or being an only child, means that the attention and resources of the parents are focused solely on them for their entire lives. This has caused multiple problems among the youth in China. Obesity being one of the most concerning. The child is catered to, over indulged, and given just about anything that they want. This has resulted in lazy and overweight children in most of China. Another issue is the overall attitude of these one child policy offspring. They have a feeling of entitlement and feel as though they are emperors. Hence, “little emperor syndrome”.
3. High pressure for the child
• If you are your parents only child, many responsibilities and pressures fall upon your shoulders. All of the expectations that your parents have are left for you to achieve, especially when it comes to education and careers. The suicide rate in China is much higher than most other countries because of this stress. Another problem that these children face as they grow older is the fact that they are the only person that can take care of their aging parents and grandparents. This has resulted into a bit of a disaster for China, which is being referred to as the 4-2-1 problem. In Chinese culture, the child takes care of the elders in the family when they are no longer able to take care of themselves. This leaves four grandparents, two parents, and only one child to take care of them all.
4. Gender imbalance
• The majority of the population in China is male due to the fact that people can only have one child, and a boy is the only one that can provide money making potential and carry the families name forward. A major imbalance in males and females has resulted for the country. This will cause problems in the near future because it will become increasingly harder for a man to find a wife to bear him children.
• In mainland China, the ratio of boys born compared to girls born reached a peak of 117: 100 after 1990, which is thought to be above the natural 111:100 ratio that can occur. That meant by 2020, there will be 30 million more men in Chinese society compared to women, which could lead to social instability. It may also be the cause of future emigration in the desire to find a mate.
5. Going against human rights
• The one-child policy is challenged in principle and in practice for violating a human right to determine the size of one’s own family. According to a 1968 proclamation of the International Conference on Human Rights, “Parents have a basic human right to determine freely and responsibly the number and the spacing of their children.” In 2002, China outlawed the use of physical force to make a woman submit to an abortion or sterilization, but it is not entirely enforced. In the execution of the policy, many local governments still demand abortions if the pregnancy violates local regulations, or even force abortions on women violating the policy, such as Feng Jianmei’scase.
• Planning the size of one’s family is believed to be a basic human right. In a 1968 proclamation from the International Conference on Human Rights, it was decided that the number and spacing of children in a family is a basic right of the parents. To accommodate the policy, sterilizations were set and perhaps required, though evidence is limited. Even eugenics were promoted in the past within China as part of the one child policy.
6. The “four-two-one problem”
• As the first generation of law-enforced only-children came of age for becoming parents themselves, one adult child was left with having to provide support for his or her two parents and four grandparents. Called the “4-2-1 Problem”, this leaves the older generations with increased chances of dependency on retirement funds or charity in order to receive support. If personal savings, pensions, or state welfare fail, most senior citizens would be left entirely dependent upon their very small family or neighbours for assistance.
A case study (a real-life example)Case study: Wei, an only child
Hi my name is Yang Wei. Yang is my surname. I am 14 years old and at middle school in Shanghai. I have no brothers and sisters. In fact, everyone in my class is an only child. My mum says she’d have more children, but we must put China first. So, what’s it like for us, being only children? Our parents do everything for us. They try to give us everything we want. If I had brothers and sisters I would not get so much attention.But it’s bad in other ways. When your parents have only you to think about, they put too much pressure on you, especially about school. I have to study all the time. And not just pass exams, but do really well. I got 76% in a maths test last term and they stopped my pocket money for a whole month! All they want is for me to get into a good high school and then university and get a good job. It’s the same for everyone in the class. Some of us study for 14 hours a day, between class and homework. I even work in the morning, before school. And my parents hate me to hang around with people who they think don’t work hard. There could be problems in the future too. When I get married, my wife and I will have to look after our child and also help our four parents. Maybe even our grandparents, because they get only small pensions. It could be a big burden. So we’ll need jobs that pay well. Still, the policy may have changed by then. Or I might start a business and get rich. Then I might have more than one child – because fines would not bother me.
So, using these slides and your own research. Can you answer these questions?
1. What was China’s ‘One Child Policy’?
2. When was it introduced?
3. Why was it introduced?
4. Is it still in place now?
5. What were the advantages and benefits of the policy?
6. What were the disadvantages or reasons against the policy?

The 24 Hour Day
A day has 24 hours. A clock has 12 hours.This means each time will happen twice every day.
a.m. and p.m.
We have to use a way to write these times differently. One way is to use a.m. and p.m.
2:30 a.m. 2:30 p.m.
p.m. (post meridiem – after noon)a.m. (ante meridiem – before noon)
The 24 Hour Clock
2:30 14:30
Another way is to use a 24 hour clock.This means the hours after 12 noon are converted to 13:00 to 23:00.
A 4 digit format is used. 2 digits for the hour, a colon (:) and 2 for the minutes.
24 Hour Hours
This clock and table show the corresponding hours on a 24 hour clock.
Midnight is referred to as both 00:00 and 24:00
00:00 = 12:00 AM 12:00 = 12:00 PM
01:00 = 1:00 AM 13:00 = 1:00 PM
02:00 = 2:00 AM 14:00 = 2:00 PM
03:00 = 3:00 AM 15:00 = 3:00 PM
04:00 = 4:00 AM 16:00 = 4:00 PM
05:00 = 5:00 AM 17:00 = 5:00 PM
06:00 = 6:00 AM 18:00 = 6:00 PM
07:00 = 7:00 AM 19:00 = 7:00 PM
08:00 = 8:00 AM 20:00 = 8:00 PM
09:00 = 9:00 AM 21:00 = 9:00 PM
10:00 = 10:00 AM 22:00 = 10:00 PM
11:00 = 11:00 AM 23:00 = 11:00 PM
12:00 = 12:00 AM 24:00 = 12:00 PM
Hints and tips on how to change the times from 12 to 24 or vice versa!
If you have 03:00, this shows us that it is in the morning (AM) as it has a zero before it. This only happens with the 24 hour clock. To then change this to show the time on a 12 hour clock, it would just be 3:00AM. Only the 24 hour clock has a zero before the single digit (hour section).
What would 05:00 be?
It would be 5:00AM
08:42HOURS MINUTES
20:42
AM
PM
The difference between 6:00PM and 6:00AM on a 24 hour clock.
06:00 – 24 hour clock to show AM
18:00 – 24 hour clock to show PM
When converting a time that is in the afternoon/evening, you need to add 12 to convert it to the 24 hour clock.
Example: 6:00pm 6 + 12 = 18 so 6:00pm is 18:00 in the 24 hour clock.
You do not need to do this for a 12 hour clock, you just add AM and PM to the time to show whether it is in the morning/afternoon/evening
When converting a 24 hour time (between 12:00-23:59) to 12 hour, you subtract 12.
Example: 16:30 16 – 12 = 4 so the time is 4:30pm in the 12 hour clock
24 Hour Time in the
MorningTo convert between 12 and 24 hour time in the morning change the format.

SPaG – Direct and reported speech
There are two forms of speech that we should try and use in our writing.
• Direct Speech – this is when you write down exactly what the person is saying. You will need to use speech marks.
“I don’t want to eat my cabbage,” Peter grumbled to his mother.
• Reported Speech – this is when you are repeating what someone has said. Imagine that you are telling another person what Peter said. You do not need speech marks. Reported speech is written in the past tense.
More Examples
Direct Speech
“The level of noise in this classroom is totally unacceptable,” said Mr Kore.
Reported Speech
Mr Kore told his class that they were being far too noisy.
You can see that both sentences carry the same meaning, so you don’tneed to just repeat what has been said or get rid of the speech marks.

For many years, there has been much debate concerning the issue of Lady Macbeth being good or evil. It is a contentious argument that has sparked strong feelings from both sides. Some people argue that she is a kind-hearted wife, who only desires the best for her husband, whereas others think that she is a callous, power-hungry woman who drives her husband to becoming a serial killer. This essay will attempt to explore both points of view.
Some people think that Lady Macbeth is just another victim in William Shakespeare’s famous tragedy and is entirely blameless for the disastrous events that unfolded. This is because, like Macbeth, she is under the curse of the three witches (the real villains of the play) and is therefore controlled by them. Throughout the story, Lady Macbeth talks about destiny and fulfilling a prophecy, rather than making decisions for herself. Another reason Lady Macbeth is good, according to her supporters, is that she does not actually murder anyone, unlike Macbeth. The worst thing she does is provide a sleeping potion in a jug of wine for the king’s guards, which is hardly a serious crime. Instead of being a killer, she is simply being a dutiful wife and supporting her husband’s dearest wish to be King. Even when things are doomed for Macbeth, she is loyal to him right until the end. This is yet another example of her being honourable and true. In addition, if Lady Macbeth was completely evil, would she feel guilty about what she had done? At the end of the play, she kills herself, because she is so guilt-ridden, she is unable to live with herself. Are these the feelings and actions of someone who is completely wicked?
On the other hand, many people argue that Lady Macbeth is an evil character, who is completely in control of not only her own actions but also her husband’s. Their explanation for this is that Lady Macbeth never actually meets the witches, unlike Macbeth. In addition, although Lady Macbeth does not murder the king, it is her idea to kill him. To make matters worse, her idea is premeditated, because she has already poisoned the king’s guards when she tries to persuade her husband to kill him. Would Macbeth have actually gone through with his crimes, had she not been so forceful with her venomous powers of persuasion? Furthermore, she may not kill anyone, but she orchestrates the torture of the guards, so they implicate King Duncan’s sons in his murder. Surely torture is as terrible as murder! Some people believe that Lady Macbeth certainly is not a dutiful wife who wants the best for her husband, but instead is full of self-ambition. Had she wanted the best for him, would she have put him at risk of being accused of treason? According to her opponents, Lady Macbeth is anything but honourable and true, because she frequently lies to cover up her crimes. For example, she smears the guards’ faces with King Duncan’s blood to make them look blameable and she lies that her husband is telling jokes, when in reality he is going insane.
In conclusion, as you can see, there are strong arguments for both viewpoints and therefore no one can deny that Lady Macbeth is indeed a divisive character! Although she does not actually kill anyone, she is instrumental in many of the play’s deaths and is willing to go to great lengths to disguise her crimes. As a result, I think that Lady Macbeth is an evil character, who not only commits wicked deeds herself, but persuades others to do so as well.
