29、,000 people lived and worked in these areas.The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday or retirement homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a shortage of affordable housing for local people. T
30、his, combined with the lack of employment prospects in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe.As so many Welsh people have migrated to other countries over the last 200 years

35、hild likes to do when choosing books for him. Dont comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them.

36、ames to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light.

37、o anything else rather than go to sleep, so theres a chance youll create a new bedtime reading habit.Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading mat
38、erial is accessible. Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books toge

42、children to readCWhen I was young, I thought that boys and grown men shouldnt cry. The tears were signs of being weak. A man isnt supposed to be like that. This was even strengthened in my young mind with the popular song, , in the early 1980s. But just last June, I discovered that courage wasnt all
43、 about trying to keep all the pain inside. Courage wasnt all about trying to hide the tears. It was the opposite the tears reinforced (加强) the hearts courage. And I saw this in my father.

44、g him as a strong figure and an iron-willed father. For three days after my sister eloped, he wouldnt talk. He would just sit quietly outside our house in the dark.
