A dolphin（海豚）looks more like a fish than certain fishes do . It is an excellent swimmer. The dolphin seems to flash through the water . Like fish, dolphins are completely at home in the water.

With the average number of children in a British family falling beneath 2.0，the population of the UK has been falling for quite a few years.

One of them is that British people are now having at a much older age than before，meaning they have fewer years in which they can have chidren. After years of study at university，they then need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They might then get married，but it’s very expensive to buy a house in the UK.

The above also explains why British young people now don’t move out of their parents’ home until they are around 30 years old on average.It is not until they are 30 that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home.
