Question

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. In my opinion, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best of their time to stay with their children.
Every time when parents take them to the amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.
Children need the direction from their parents. There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, violence and so on. Children have weak resistance in defending this negative influence. In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth. Parents should sit down smd talk with them about what they should do and should not do.
I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time with children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy work.

Answer 1

Parents Should Be Responsible For Children's Behaviors
The passage mainly tells us that parents play an important part in children's growth, suggesting that no matter how busy parents are, they should spend more time staying with their children and give proper instructions.    
We know it is important for children to develop good habits. So it is disappointing and sad to see some children around us behaving badly. As far as I am concerned, parents should be responsible for helping children developing good habits. The reasons are as follows: first, it is commonly believed that parents are the first teachers of their children. The children adopt many ways and thoughts of their parents as they are growing. Second, parents' duties include not only providing food and clothing, but also knowledge and common sense required to go on well in society. 
Therefore, I hope parents can spend more time staying with their children, giving proper guidance to their children. Meanwhile, parents should mind their words and acts, setting a good example to their children.

試題分析：本題討論的話題是“父母該為孩子的行為習慣負責嗎?”前一段內容說明父母在孩子的成長過程中作用很大，但是并不一定要為孩子的未來負責。因為孩子長大以后有了自己的世界觀和人生觀，可以為自己的未來做出考慮和判斷。父母只起引導作用。求考生在保證內容要點全部概括的基礎上可以充分發揮自己的想象，進而用自己的語言來表達某種觀點或看法，增添了寫作的靈活性，同時能較好地考查考生的想象能力和英語語言表達能力。
點評：半開放性作文給出了一個話題，并有部分的文字提示。給考生自由發揮的余地較大。對于考生的綜合能力要求較高，要求考生有很強的謀篇布局的能力和組織要點的能力。在完成開放性作文時，首先要選擇自己熟悉的短語或者句型，在你的能力范圍之內，選擇句式時要賦予變化，因為這樣你才可以更好的駕馭。同時也要選擇合適的連接詞，把各個要點組織成一個完整的整體，如besides, further, last but not least等。在發表個人觀點的時候，可以使用諺語來提升整個文章的檔次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
