※ 引述《ypyp (牙周病)》之銘言： : Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best : teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. : Although parents influence their children a lot, they may not be the best : teachers in all respects. Generally speaking, parents are the first people : children meet and get along with in this world, and because of this, they are : regarded as being responsible to children’s education. However, parents, no ﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ (should be responsible for) : matter on manners, skills or the way to reflect on this world, are not always : the best teachers for their children. I think the sentence structure is a bit weird here. I would suggest 'Parents are not always the best mentors when it comes to...) : In the first place, if parents and children don't interact well, children : may be misled or hurt severely. Every person has his/her own personality, and : different personalities may decide both the way people treat each other and ﹏﹏﹏ (will) : the way they response to events. For example, for people lacking of ﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ (respond) (of is not needed here) : self-confidence, if parents discipline them with a lot of blame and : punishment, children may abase themselves more and more, or even worse, give : up themselves. On the other hand, some parents only praise their children, ^on : solve every trouble they made but do not correct their behaviors, it can also ﹏﹏﹏ (resolve will be a better word?) : ruin children’s future—or even the future of whole family. There are also ﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ (a bit exaggerated, maybe you can give some evidence to show that?) : some parents, who are too busy to pay attention to their children, such : lonely and being ignored childhood definitely hurt children seriously. : Beside the interactions between parents and children, while restricted by ﹏﹏﹏﹏ (besides is different from beside) : their own growing process or education background, parents may not capable to ^be (of) : teach their children what they need. It is easy to image that illiterate (teaching) (imagine) : parents will not be able to teach their children their homework, and hardly : ever capable to indicate children the available resources. When it comes to (of) (this part I don't get you) : the values, there may be more conflicts between parents and children due to : the different growing process. For example, parents who lack sufficient : education often tend to especially highlight the value of academy, and are (no need especially) (education) : more likely to force their children to pursue better academic degrees as : possible rather than encourage their children to find ways fit themselves : best. : In addition to the reasons mentioned in last two paragraphs, children are (the previous two...) : very likely to repeat their parents' mistakes. Many researches on domestic : violence reveal that people suffered domestic violence in their early years : incline to do the same violence to their children much more than normal ﹏﹏ (impose or inflict the same violence on their children) : people. For alcoholics and other addicts, the results are quite similar as : well. Although children may hate their alcoholic parents very much, : ironically, when they grow up, it is found that they tend to depend on : alcohol to escape from stress and frustrations of life. : According to the discussions above, we can conclude that parents do : influence children a lot. However, the influence, like a double-sided blade, (edged) : can either be helpful or harmful. Once we consider that there are also some : parents who are not willing or able to give their children the most appropriate : directions and models, we can not assert that parents are the best teachers. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 222.164.52.87
