Topic 2 Are parents best teachers?
Obviously, the first teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents. They teach us to walk, to speak,and to have good manners before we reach “the real world. ” More than even theprofessional teachers that we have at school, parents are generally(通常是)the most involved in the development and education of children.(本文章開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山，直接提出觀點(diǎn)，并講述一個(gè)既定存在的事實(shí)，父母是參與我們?nèi)松邪l(fā)展和教育最多的人)
Almost for sure(毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)的)our parents are the best teachers at the beginning of our lives, which actually corresponds to the parents' role in nature(本質(zhì)上，事實(shí)上). Parents are mostcommitted(承擔(dān)義務(wù)的，也可以說(shuō)有責(zé)任的)and involved in(從事，涉及)teaching their children; they have a kind of instinct(天性，本能)to sacrifice a part of themselves for the betterment of their children. They love us and have great patience while passing down their knowledge(就是所謂的傳道授業(yè)解惑)to us. They wish us a success and thus will not teach us bad things.And of course, implicit learning(就是政治中常講的潛移默化的影響)occurs when children unconsciously copy some of their parents' habits and styles of behavior.(almost for sure 可以用there’s no denying that，there’s no doubt that 來(lái)替換，不過(guò)我覺(jué)得almost for sure 在大家的作文里還是比較少見(jiàn)的，可以用用看，后兩者見(jiàn)得多了顯得有些爛俗~for the betterment of their children這個(gè)地方就是我之前說(shuō)到的詞性替換，這樣就比說(shuō)make their children become better要新穎些。)
During the second stage of child development, adolescence,parents can still be in the best position to offer advice even though the children might not accept it. In this case, perhaps the child's friends would be the best teachers. Adolescents are notoriously rebellious(眾所周知的叛逆黨)in many cultures and may automatically reject(不由自主地反抗)any advice from their parents. My first marriage for instance, was solely(唯一)a matter of doing the opposite when my parents tried to intrude in(強(qiáng)加入) offering their advice. So in such matters, parents should be much more flexible and be rather(寧愿做)the partners with their children. So we can see that being a teacher of growing child become more and more complicated case as the time passes and many parents are simply not able to meet the increased demands.(到這里我們可以看出來(lái)，文章分階段講了父母在我們兒時(shí)，青年時(shí)對(duì)我們的教導(dǎo)也隨著我們發(fā)生了變化，家長(zhǎng)越來(lái)越難做了)
On the other hand, I would say that parents are not professional teachers and they tend to be very biased by their love of their children(容易變得溺愛(ài)). So wishing good things and an easy life may prevent children from maturation. In any case,parents usually can present only one viewpoint of the world, while good teaching should be based on different attitudes. Thus, when children go to school and have a great diversity(多樣性，差異)of teachers, they learn much more than their parents could probably give them. Furthermore,once our parents get older, they become more conservative and cannot always be objective in regard to(關(guān)于)modern trends and fashions. Thus we need to take their advice with caution during that period. However, some kind of intuition that I believe shared between relatives about what everybody needs and great love that exists in families still makes our parents very good teachers and advisers at any time.(這一段為讓步段，可見(jiàn)整篇文章是A+A+A—形式，讓步里說(shuō)了家長(zhǎng)的教育也有不好的地方，比如容易溺愛(ài)孩子，都替孩子著想讓孩子不容易變得成熟，還有隨著家長(zhǎng)年齡增長(zhǎng)，他們會(huì)越來(lái)越保守，難以保持對(duì)現(xiàn)代趨勢(shì)的一個(gè)客觀心態(tài)。所以我們需要適當(dāng)?shù)靥嵝押徒ㄗh，畢竟父母還是很重要的必不可少的老師)
In conclusion, while parents are not the ideal teachers,and well-rounded(多才多藝的，面面俱到的)children will generally need a great diversity of teachers in their lives in order to have a moreaccurate view of the world, parents are generally the most committed of all teachers and have the greatest emotional investment in their children and their future.(結(jié)尾又自圓其說(shuō)給圓回來(lái)了，綜述盡管父母不是最完美的，還需要老師給多方面的引導(dǎo)，自己還是認(rèn)為父母是所有老師里面最有責(zé)任的并在我們身上投入最感人的無(wú)私貢獻(xiàn)的人，結(jié)尾用詞很好，沒(méi)有直愣愣地表達(dá)自己支持父母是最好的老師這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，可以學(xué)習(xí)一下)
