Answer 1

Heart-to-Heart Talks with Parents
As is shown in the bar chart，children spend less time having heart-to-heart talks with their parents when they grow older. For example, while the 7-9 age group spends as many as 6 hours per week on average, the 16-18 age group spends only half the time.
　 There are two major reasons for this: both parents and children are too busy working or studying, and there aren’t many topics of common interest for them to talk about.
　 In my opinion, children should let their parents know more about what they are interested in. At the same time, parents should spend more time talking with their children and sharing opinions with them. Only in this way can they better understand each other.

试题分析：本文的写作遵循三方面，一方面对图表的内容进行介绍，可以对图片总体反映的内容进行说明孩子们随着年龄的增长，与父母心灵的沟通却随之减少children spend less time having heart-to-heart talks with their parents when they grow older.可以对极大和极小两方面进行说明；第二方面对原因进行介绍，一是都忙于工作学习both parents and children are too busy working or studying，二是没有共同的话题there aren’t many topics of common interest for them to talk about.；最后发表自己的看法，同样从两个方面，一是孩子们自身要让父母知道他们的兴趣爱好let their parents know more about what they are interested in.，二是父母亲应该花费更多的时间和孩子们交谈，与他们分享一些看法spend more time talking with their children and sharing opinions with them.
点评：对于作文的写作，特别是议论文发表观点的文章是很好写的一种文体。我们平时所积累的东西，要在写作之前就回想，要将自己记得好的句型句式运用到自己的作文中，这样文章才能有东西可写，才能表达有深度，比如写作过程中多用定语从句，多用起承转合的连词，多用倒装、虚拟语气等，这些都要求学生平时积累好句式，在具体的写作中，只要句式正确，才适当增加具体的单词，这样才能以不变应万变。
