很純說明文題型，問原因和結果。家庭大話題下的老話題，就在2021年8月12日剛考過。審題時需注意：結果的部分，必須從“個人”和“家庭”兩個層面討論。

? exert vt. 施加

Reasons

Generally speaking, the surging pressure, be it in study or in employment, has attributed to this trend. More accurately, as the vacancies of governmental bodies and highly-reputed businesses are few and far between, the competition for an ideal job is intense considering the sea of people applying. To have an edge over their counterparts, those applicants, when they were students, had every reason to seek for the opportunities to enrol in renowned universities, regardless of how far away they might be from their families. As to the working professionals, it is due to the heavier living pressure that they, especially average working parents, have to spend the majority of their time in office or on business trips, leaving their children or the elderly at home.

Effects

This trend may bring both positive and negative effects on individuals and households. 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 paper work. However, they may also feel homesick for the lifestyle in this city may be quite different from the one they are used to live. 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.
