Every person wants to find a loving and sincere life partner with whom he/she can spend the life happily and successfully. Some people agree with the choice of his/her parents which we call arranged marriage. The stereotype is that arranged marriage is enforced and will not make the partners happy. In fact these days, more and more arranged marriages are premised on the mutually consent of the two adults. And young people tend to accept arranged marriages now.

Arranged marriage is reasonable because of the wisdom of the elder. They raised and cared for their children, thus they totally know what’ s best for their children, which includes a life partner. When it comes to finding a soul mate, fathers and mothers may really know best. Parents possess the necessary knowledge and understanding of their own child' s character, therefore, they can choose the most suitable life partner for their children. In certain countries, if the bride’ s family has a close relationship with the groom’ s, her parents know the social status, economic condition and even genetic makeup of the groom’ s family.

Arranged marriages ensure that two people are perfectly matched because they belong to the same culture, share the same religious belief and are raised in more or less the similar socio-economic class. These parallel backgrounds make it easier for the couple to communicate with each other and understand each family. In the future, their decisions in the upbringing of children and their education will have little divergences in their thinking because of this precondition. Given that the man and woman share the same views of marriage and family, the chance of divorcing due to irreconcilable differences is not as strong as other marriages.

With a harmonious family condition, they will have a good relationship with their extended families. In times of difficulty, the couple can depend on the help of their parents and relatives. When the children are born and both spouses work, there is no need to find adequate babysitters, because the grandparents will take good care of their grandchildren. The children are therefore supervised by close family members instead of by complete strangers, making them comfortable and reassuring the spouses.

Marriage is a strong and beautiful relationship between two individuals that binds them with responsibility. Most arranged marriage no longer triggers a negative reaction because a good number of them are not forced. Conversely, arranged marriage is really beneficial. 

调查显示，“包办婚姻”的古老传统正在中国年轻人中重新流行起来。本题要求就这一现象写一篇400字左右的文章。范文第一段首先介绍了“包办婚姻”的现状，其并不是强制的，而是以两个年轻人的相互同意为前提。第二段提出了包办婚姻的第一个好处：父母对自己的孩子足够了解，因此会为其找一个性格相对应的伴侣，而且对对方的家庭情况、经济情况等十分了解。第三段提出了第二个优点：包办婚姻的双方往往处于同一种文化，社会经济地位等通常相似，因此观念比较一致。第三个优点是，双方的父母可以在他们的困难时期提供帮助，家庭关系更加和谐。最后一段作者进行了简要总结并重申了自己的观点。
