Question

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. In my opinion, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best of their time to stay with their children.
Every time when parents take them to the amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.
Children need the direction from their parents. There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, violence and so on. Children have weak resistance in defending this negative influence. In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth. Parents should sit down smd talk with them about what they should do and should not do.
I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time with children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy work.

Answer 1

Parents Should Be Responsible For Children's Behaviors
The passage mainly tells us that parents play an important part in children's growth, suggesting that no matter how busy parents are, they should spend more time staying with their children and give proper instructions.    
We know it is important for children to develop good habits. So it is disappointing and sad to see some children around us behaving badly. As far as I am concerned, parents should be responsible for helping children developing good habits. The reasons are as follows: first, it is commonly believed that parents are the first teachers of their children. The children adopt many ways and thoughts of their parents as they are growing. Second, parents' duties include not only providing food and clothing, but also knowledge and common sense required to go on well in society. 
Therefore, I hope parents can spend more time staying with their children, giving proper guidance to their children. Meanwhile, parents should mind their words and acts, setting a good example to their children.

试题分析：本题讨论的话题是“父母该为孩子的行为习惯负责吗?”前一段内容说明父母在孩子的成长过程中作用很大，但是并不一定要为孩子的未来负责。因为孩子长大以后有了自己的世界观和人生观，可以为自己的未来做出考虑和判断。父母只起引导作用。求考生在保证内容要点全部概括的基础上可以充分发挥自己的想象，进而用自己的语言来表达某种观点或看法，增添了写作的灵活性，同时能较好地考查考生的想象能力和英语语言表达能力。
点评：半开放性作文给出了一个话题，并有部分的文字提示。给考生自由发挥的余地较大。对于考生的综合能力要求较高，要求考生有很强的谋篇布局的能力和组织要点的能力。在完成开放性作文时，首先要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型，在你的能力范围之内，选择句式时要赋予变化，因为这样你才可以更好的驾驭。同时也要选择合适的连接词，把各个要点组织成一个完整的整体，如besides, further, last but not least等。在发表个人观点的时候，可以使用谚语来提升整个文章的档次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
