IELTS12 TEST8 allow children to make their own choices on everyday matters

ITLTS12 TEST8 主要是让我们探讨一下孩子在日常生活中做选择， 一步人认为着可能发展成只顾自己的个人主义，另一部分人则认为孩子从小对事情做决定对未来的自身的发展很重要。

我的观点：

两个观点我都表示理解，我个人认为在父母的细心指导下，他们会学会作出更明智的选择，这会促使他们以后的成功，并且我用我的经历和我同学的经历进行对比了一下

Topic

Some people believe that allowing children to make their own choices on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them.


Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

My writing

In some cases, it’s a good signal for children to make their own decisions, but everything has both positive and negative effects, none can be done perfectly. We should provide necessary guidance to help them grow up.

I may only agree with the point that children can make their own choices in some matters, and the time goes by, more rights should be given to them, because it’s almost impossible for children to make their own choices when children are 4 years old, and it’s a bit unrealistic, but it can be possible that children can choose what they eat, what they wear when they are in secondary schools, then children can choose what they want to do when they are college students. During the life of their growing up, children usually failed to control themselves like adults due to a lack of experience, a necessary guidance is of great importance to them.

What’s more, I strong agree that children should learn to make decisions, if every decision is make by their parents, they may lose abilities of making any choices in their later life and become too dependent on other people. What the parents’ responsibility is to help them to live independently, children should acquire most kinds of skills, including decision making.

As for myself, my parents often told me to pay more attention to self-security and healthy eating, but they rarely interfered my decision making in my daily life. I felt so lucky, because I could do what I want to do, but as to my friends, most of they were under rigid control by their parents, they had to study and be at home without caring about other things, I felt sympathy for them. Anyway, we all grow up, I become a postgraduate and continue to study, but they no longer have a chance to be admitted into a university. In a large part, I can do what I am willing to do, but they just can’t master their fate any more.

All in all, there is no doubt that making decisions in their childhood is indispensable, parents should put much emphasis on it.
