Topic 2

Question:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

 

 Paper 1:

  Who teaches you to walk? Who teaches you to speak? It is your parents who teach you to do these basic things in your life. So don’t you think that parents are the best teachers!

 

  Firstly, parents know us very much. Parents give us life, and I think that we will spend large amount of time with them. So they know our merit and demerit in details. Meanwhile, they will help us to get rid of our demerit.

  Furthermore, parents possessed many experience. Since they are older than us, they have experienced many things. Sometimes, they are just like our models. And as the saying goes:”Example is better than precept.” So we will unconsciously copy some of our parents’ habits and styles of behavior, i.e. We can learn many thing from them.

  

  Finally, parents will teach us everything. Since schoolteachers can just teach us knowledge from the books, our parents can teach us everything. For example, I learning knitting, cooking and make-up from my mother, while learning fixing leaky faucet from my father. They are the persons who love me most, so they will teach me everything without reservations.

 

  Just as the saying goes:”There is no place like home.”And I think there is no teacher like our parents. They are the best teachers in our life.

 

Paper 2:

  Some people believe parents maybe a very important teacher for children, but will be taken place by teacher after children go to school, however, I believe parents always are the best teacher no matter how many knowledge children have acquired from school, the reasons why I think so go as follow.

 

  First, children always imitate their parents from birth, so the parents’ influence on children is great. For example, researchers said that parents’ expression can influence the growth of their children’ character, if parents always smell and watch their while he is playing, the child’ confidence will be greater than other child whose parents always leave him alone at home.

 

  Second, parents are also the best teacher for children in emotion area. For example, If a child feel oppression of feel frustrated in school, he always not talk to his teacher, at this time, parents can help him and child are also willing to tell his inner feeling to his parents.

 

  Third, although child get many knowledge from teacher, basic skills in his whole life are come from his parents. For example, our basic language skill, basic realize skill and even basic sport skill are all acquired from parents. Because of this basic skill parent teach their child, the influence of parents will follow the child’s whole life.

 

  All in a word, the effect parents take on the child’s education process is greater than any teachers in school, they are the best teacher.
