点击进入：2015年6月英语四级考试真题及答案
As is graphically depicted in the cartoon, a young girl is talking with her mother. She says ironically, “Good news mom! I was accepted to the college of your choice!” Then, her mother smiles and seems content with this result. Apparently, the cartoon aims to reveal the fact that a majority of modern parents play an increasingly negative role in their children’s growth.
第一段三句话，描写图中大体现象、细节描写对话内容和人物反应、揭示图画的目的。
There are several possible reasons accountable for this phenomenon(中心句). To begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents oftentimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on him or her(原因一). Moreover, numerous parents intend to realize their unfulfilled dreams by letting their children learn what they failed to learn and apply for the college by which they failed to be accepted, because they have become richer and they believe that they have the power to make what they wanted and want come true now(原因二). For instance, my uncle used to be a poor man and his dream that one day he would become a violinist was broken because of lack of money. But he made a fortune by selling coals, and then forced his son, my younger brother to practice playing violin. My brother was a huge fan of sports, but now he has to play violin everyday unwillingly and ofter quarrels with their parents(举例：原来-然后-结局).
To sum up, it is unreasonable for parents to control their children’s life(总结句). In order to help them grow happily and healthily, parents are supposed to communicate with their kids about what they are really interested in(建议一，目的句型). Meanwhile, it is about time that parents let their kids make their own choices(建议二，“是时候”句型). Only in these ways will children grow in a psychologically happy environment and realize their own dreams.
参考范文：Parents’ role in their children’s growth
As is prescribed in the picture, the girl told her mother, “Good news mom! I was accepted to the college of your choice.” We can infer that the mom chooses college for her child, but should the parents make such decision for their children? As far as I concerned, parents can give advice for their children instead of making decisions for them.
Firstly, parents always want to give their children the best, however, they cannot completely understand their children’s interest and can’t sure what the most suitable is to their children. They just give their children what they consider the best, regardless of what their children want and what they like. So the best way to show your love is to respect children’s choice. Secondly, the children should responsible for their own life. Parents can company their children decades of years, but they cannot company their children’s whole life. Parents can give their children advice, but teach their children to be independent is more important in their growth.
To sum up, parents can give their children advice, but they should respect their children’s choice. After all, children will grow up one day, and they must learn how to live independent and be responsible for their own life.
As is clearly depicted in the above picture, a daughter tells his mother a piece of good news that she has been admitted to a university as her mother desires. There is no denial in saying that the cartoon leaves us such a deep impression that we can not help thinking over a question: What role should parents play in their children’s growth?
From my point of view, during the process of a child’s growth, the role of parents is mainly listed as the following two aspects. On one hand, there is no doubt that parents are liable to take good care of their children. On the other hand, in children’s personal growth, parents ought to play a role as a person who helps children develop self-dependence, which carries more significant to children’s future life. In other words, parents should encourage their sons or daughters to be independent rather than reliant on others.
To conclude, in children’s personal growth, parents are responsible to care for their children. However, considering that they will grow up and live their own life in some day, parents should enable their children to acquire the ability to be self-independent.
译文：如上所示，一个女儿告诉她妈妈有一个好消息：她已经考上妈妈为她选择的大学了。不可否认的是，这幅画给我们留下了非常深刻的印象，因此我们禁不住要思考这样一个问题，那就是，父母在子女成长过程中应该扮演什么角色呢?
个人认为，父母在子女成长过程中所扮演的角色主要有以下两方面。一方面，毫无疑问，父母有责任照顾好自己子女。另一方面，在子女的成长过程中，父母应扮演帮助子女养成自立的角色，因为自立对子女的未来成长是至关重要的。换句话说，父母应该鼓励自己的孩子自力更生而不是依赖他人。
总之，在子女的个人成长过程中，父母有责任照顾好子女。然而，考虑到总有一天子女会长大成人，自己生活，因此父母应该让子女养成自立更胜的能力。
