A.

The two pictures reflect the problem of the child-centered family. In middle of the first picture, a little is sitting and playing video games. His grandmother is just in front of him feed food to him, while his grandfather is standing beside him with a bowl in his hands, waiting to serve him soup. on the other side, his father is checking his homework, and his mother is behind the boy knitting for him. We can see the boy is well-looked after. or we would rather say that he is over spoilt. In the second picture, the boy is scared when he is pressurized to learn so many things, such as calligraphy, chess, piano and violin, which will surely take up almost all his spare time. He seems to be deprived of childhood happiness. In short, parents should no t over protective towards their children; on the other hand, children should not be over-loaded. parents should motivate children to learn something in stead of forcing them to do so. Try to give them a creating atmosphere to enjoy childhood and study and build up their character during the process.

B.

Do you have any idea why parent force their children to take so many courses?

A.

Actually that is a social problem of the modern society. Children today are born to a competitive society with rich opportunities. That is to say, on one hand, it is necessary for children to master more knowledge to be well-prepared for the future. on the other hand, everyone has chances to come up in the world. So it seems to many parents that the best way for their children is to learn as much knowledge as possible in spite of their personal preference. Consequently, many children are rebellious psychologically, and this will do harm both to their physical and mental health.

B.

These two pictures describes the dramatic changes of marriage between the couple from 1988 to 1998. In the first picture, the couple was sitting at a small table having dinner. The dished were very simple. They were sitting close to each other and were very happy. The man was handsome and careful and the girl was lovely and cheerful. The husband was picking his wife’s favorite dish for her and they were talking very harmoniously. But in the second picture, the couple is having dinner at a very big and nice table. They are sitting opposite to each other. The dishes are rich, or even luxurious. They are eating silently. The husband is taking a chicken drum without any expression on his face. The wife is sitting just opposite her husband, she is sad or even with tears in her eyes and it seems that she has no interest in the dishes at all. The atmosphere of oppression is hanging over the table. The distance between the couple is becoming big. The love between them is gone. This is mainly because they lack mutual concern and communication. A serious talk between their love is in great need. They should build up their love by joint efforts. Mutual understanding will contribute a lot to deep love and happy marriage.

A.

What should they do to shorten their distance?

B.

First of all, they should adopt a positive view towards their marriage. And then they should make efforts together to save their love from fading out. They are advised to talk out their differences and show concern to each other. No matter how busy they are, they should set aside some time to stay together. In a word, mutual respect and understanding will help them narrow the gap.

参考范文

privacy

Nowadays privacy is no longer a new concept in china. But what is privacy? It’s something that we want to keep in mind as a secret, something that we don’t want to be known by public. For some people, it will be the age or the salary. For others, it will be something that is too personal or embarrassing, etc. privacy is exclusively owned by ourselves.

Since privacy involves too many private and personal things, it has become what the newspapers and magazines are eager for. Especially those social celebrities, they have always been the victims because articles about their private lives are published in the newspapers or magazines. In many occasions, we are forced to speak out privacy, for example, when you want to find a job in the market, you are required by the company to provide some private information. The long-term argue about privacy is that whether people should have privacy. Some people may think that everybody should live without privacy, which means he or she is sincere and has nothing to be hidden, from the aspect of laws, one’s privacy should be protected. our government has also issued laws related to privacy protection. As a member in civilized society, we should try to increase the public awareness of privacy. privacy is by no means something bad; it’s the necessary result of the development of our civilized society. It’s a kind of vulgar or even illegal behavior to infringe on somebody’s privacy.

I think that people not only have the right to have privacy, but also have the right to protect their privacy. In my opinion, when it comes to princess Diana, newspaper articles should be about her works of charity, instead some of her private life, the fact that Diana is going out with a sportsman is all her personal things and should not become the public focus, we do have the right to protect our privacy by laws, at the same time, we also have the responsibilities of not violating others privacy whenever your privacy is violated, you should utilize weapons of laws to protect it.
