答案
The Importance of Making Decisions by Teenagers Themselves Whether parents or other adults should make important decisions for older teenagers is a matter of opinions. While some argue that young adults need guidance from their parents, others believe that young adults should be allowed to make their own decisions. I believe teenagers should be allowed to make all of their own decisions as they will both learn from their mistakes and develop a sense of responsibility. First, becoming an adult involves learning from your mistakes. If adults were to take away this process, teenagers would never learn from their mistakes. For example, consider what would happen if a student decided to cheat on an exam. Assuming they passed, the student would be completely unprepared to complete the next level of the course or program. The student needs to learn that the mistake they made was cheating and learn to be better prepared. Learning from the mistake might involve the student repeating a course to ensure they are prepared to continue and have the necessary skills and knowledge. Simply following the instructions of others would only lead the student into being completely unprepared for real life. Second, teenagers need to develop a sense of responsibility. Once becoming an adult, people have little recourse for avoiding trouble. Neither someone’s mother nor father will be able to deal with the issues of their adult children. Employers value independence and original thought from their employees. Someone with the tendency to mindlessly follow instructions and no sense of responsibility is only likely to be fired. Besides, not knowing how to be responsible is likely to have adverse effect on social relationships. For these reasons, it is imperative to develop a sense of responsibility. To help make sound decisions, what parents can do is to engage their children in dialogue and to provide them with all the necessary information. Through the parents’ guidance, teenagers will arrive at the correct decisions and feel as though those decisions were completely their own. Not only will they continue to seek reliable advice of their parents, but the self-confidence gained from this experience will make it easier for them to make decisions in the future. In conclusion, I believe that teenagers should make all of their own important decisions. By making their own decisions, they will be able to learn from their own mistakes as well as develop a sense of responsibility. This is a process that will ensure teenagers are sufficiently prepared to deal with the real world.
解析
本文立意准确、观点鲜明。在开头段,作者介绍了正反两种观点,并提出了自己的看法,主题句“I believe teenagers should be allowed to make all of their own decisions as they will both learn from their mistakes and develop a sense of responsibility”中.learn from their mistakes和develop a sense of responsibility是作者即将具体展开的两大理由,在主题句中出现使读者很容易就能把握文章的主体结构。在正文部分,作者先提出了两点父母不应为孩子做决定的理由,随后又提出了父母应该做的不是为孩子们做决定,而是给他们提供建议和看法。这一内容的添加使得全文有些类似于问题解决型的文章,即提出问题、分析原因、提出建议。这样做是由题目的内容所决定的,如果只谈父母不应为孩子做决定,那么肯定会有很多质疑,比如看到孩子做出错误的决定,难道父母要视而不见吗?因此,第四段定义了父母可以扮演的角色,即咨询师,使得全文内容更为充实完整。在语言方面,本文作者在多处使用了虚拟语气,如:If adults were to take away this process,teenagers would never learn from their mistakes,这是在考试作文中不常见的。
