2019年8月3日 独立写作题目:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Nowadays, parents can learn more from children than children can learn from parents.
对于more的理解很重要,不做数量比较,比不完的。而把more理解为“学到某种不知道的东西”。
【立场:还是孩子向家长学的更多吧】
Introduction
略
In terms of the hard and cold knowledge about the physical world, children may be their parents’ teachers. This is because textbook knowledge has advanced and been upgraded, more than what the parents learned when they were children. However, this is on a rather superficial level.
As a matter of fact, learning goes beyond knowledge about the tangible surroundings. For example, children may learn absolute right moral values at school. They may find and point out their parents’ misbehavior against the absolute norms. In this case, do parents learn from their children? It seems so. However, children may be lost in the righteousness. As a matter of fact, parents may teach children a lesson that even good morals are flexible and should vary from circumstance to circumstance. ← 先例后理 → In thus follows that children learn from parents about what is beyond[beyond偷偷对应了“more”] the knowledge itself.
Parents have probably lost the ability to learn. They may be stubborn since they are grown-ups or be confined by their pride in front of their children. The opposite is in the case of children. Children, during their formative period, are open-minded and absorbent, and likely obedient. ←先理后例 → 【真的打算用个例的时候,就用自己举例没问题。】This was my case during the few past years. ←引出例子的措辞,也不一定就是for example / instance. 例子要充分应对前面所述的道理(集中在标红的词汇上)。Making the choice of my major area of study in college was a tough decision because of the conflict between my parents’ realistic consideration, the availability of jobs, and my idealistic pursuit–my keen interest in architecture. At their age, their ideas and values had formed[应对前文道理中的stubborn]; however, I kept an open mind[应对前文道理中的open-minded], ready to accept their ideas[应对前文道理中的absorbent, and likely obedient]. Eventually, I failed to convince them of my idealism, which made all sense at that point, and instead learned their realism, which has also proven right.
