答案 Parents play an important role in our everyday lives, but different people will have different ideas about how much parents today can really teach their children. Although some people may think children today can teach their parents more than the parents can teach them, I believe parents will always be the ones doing most of the teaching. The first reason that I believe parents will always teach their children more than their children can teach them is that parents have a lot more life experience than their children. When a child makes a decision, they can only draw on a few years of life experience. But parents have a lot more life experience so that they have better understanding of how the world works. A child may want to eat only sweets and candy. Parents, however, know that this will do harm to the child’s health. They may know people who have developed diabetes as a result of bad habits and so they are able to teach their children about the risks involved with eating too much sugar. Parents have more life experience than their children, so they can teach their children a lot more than the kids could possibly teach the parents. Another reason I think parents teach their children more than their children can teach them is that parents can teach their children how to manage anger and act properly. Since children learn most effectively by example, the way you express and handle yourself when you’re frustrated or angry can have a major effect on how your child learns to express anger, too. For example, yelling, lashing out or becoming verbally abusive toward others may lead children to emulate this behavior. By contrast, counting to 10, breathing deeply and talking about your emotions will help kids learn positive anger management skills. In short, parents should provide their children with basic instruction in proper behavior and self-conduct. While many people think that children today will teach their parents more than their parents can teach them, I believe that parents will always be the better teachers.

解析     “孩子与家长”已经成为了托福考试中的常考话题。针对本题观点,我们首先可以思考一个问题,如何才能成为一个合格的老师呢?答案当然是要有经验。顺着这个思路继续往下想,孩子和家长谁的经验更丰富呢?肯定是家长。虽然在有些情况下,比如电子产品的使用和英语学习方面,孩子的确会比家长更胜一筹,家长的确应该多跟孩子学习。但是大多数情况下家长都凭借着丰富的人生阅历和生活经验成为了孩子最好的老师。
