　　2011年1月四級作文

　　Directions： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

　　1. 目前不少父母為孩子包辦一切

　　2. 為了孩子獨立，父母應(yīng)該……

　　今年的作文主題非常貼近考生的生活，給了考生很大的發(fā)揮空間，擅長寫日常生活細節(jié)的學(xué)生可以寫上三五個句子勾勒父母對于子女的過度關(guān)愛，而擅長邏輯思考的學(xué)生則可以更多地闡述父母怎樣的行為才可以培養(yǎng)子女獨立的品格，而過度寵愛正導(dǎo)致了獨立精神的消失。

　　從具體操作的角度來說，對于基礎(chǔ)較為薄弱的考生，這次的考試題目是比較容易套用模板的，第一段，把現(xiàn)實狀況描述清楚;第二段，寫清楚父母親幫助子女獨立的策略;第三段，呼吁父母親多給自己一些自由。怎樣解決(解決方案的優(yōu)缺點)

　　但是對于能夠用流暢的英語表達自己的思路的同學(xué)來說，寫作如果希望取得比較高的分?jǐn)?shù)，則需要注意語言必須盡可能簡潔才能夠在規(guī)定字?jǐn)?shù)以內(nèi)說清楚自己的論點，而句子的表達要求，也從有話可說，上升到言之有理，甚至上升到語言精致優(yōu)美，內(nèi)在邏輯嚴(yán)密的高度了。

　　How Should Parents Help Children to be Independent

　　Nowadays, there is a growing concern over such a phenomenon, that is, some parents take care of almost everything concerned with their children, including study, work, marriage. Some 　　parents believe that this is love, however, it is only to destroy children’s independence thoroughly.

　　For the future of the next generation, more efforts should be made by parents to help their children to be independent. The fundamental one is to cultivate the awareness, namely, the i　mportance and necessity of being independent, which is supposed to begin from childhood. Children should be taught that no one can be stronger and more helpful than themselves in this world.

　　The quality of independence is so indispensable for us that parents had better act as a tutor, not a dictator. And only with parent’s trust, can the next generation accumulate confidence step by step.

　　關(guān)于解決問題類作文提到了類似的結(jié)構(gòu)

　　In recent days, we have to face a problem-----A, which is becoming more and more serious. ----(說明A的現(xiàn)狀).

　　Confronted with A, we should take a series of effective measures to cope with the situation. For one thing, ----------(解決方法一). For another --------(解決方法二). Finally, -------(解決方法三).
