Should parents leave all of their money to children and let them live a carefree life without even the necessity of earning money to support themselves? Here are two pieces of news about two celebrities:

Bill Gates: Bill Gates has promised to give all of his $ 58 billion fortune to charity he has set up with his wife, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funds health and education projects around the world. He wanted to make a positive contribution to the world.

Zuckerberg: We will give 99% of our Facebook shares during our lives to advance humanpotentialandpromoteequality. We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues. But we want to do what we can, working alongside many others.

Many world-famous wealthy businessmen choose to donate almost all of their possessions to the charity instead of leaving their fortune to their children. In their opinion, it is better to develop the quality of independence of their children, making them possess the competence of living by themselves.

Answer 1

【答案】Some celebrities choose to donate almost all their money to the charity so that they can educate their children to be independent and learn to support themselves.

I am in complete agreement with those celebrities’ decision. A child without the competence to support himself will at length/ ultimately consume all the money left for him and live in poverty, let alone supporting his family. What’s more, the ever-changing world means you need to learn new things almost at any moment and anyone totally dependent on others will find it hard to survive.

From my perspective, many measures can be taken by parents to improve their children’s independence. First and foremost, parents can teach children to do what they can at an early age, thus making them know they should get what they want through their own efforts. What’s more，they sometimes need to put children through trials to give them opportunities to learn to deal with difficult situations independently. Only by learning to tackle various difficult situations by themselves can they become mature individuals.
