Topic 2 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement ? Parents are the best teachers . Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Nowadays some may hold the opinion that parents are better than any teacher , but others have a negative attitude . As far as I am concerned , I agree that parents are the best teachers . My arguments for this point are listed as follows .
One of the primary causes is that it is our parents that we have lived with from childhood . And we have got a large amount of knowledge from our parents . Since we were born , it is our parents who teach us anything we need , such as speaking , learning , principles , and so on.
But there is a further more subtle point we must consider is that the closest people to us are our parents . There is no doubt that they will give us knowledge without reservation at any time . Suppose that an office worker works in a company .He must compete with others .When he meets a big problem , maybe others will not help him though they can solve it easily . They do not want someone surpass them and win recognition from the boss . But the office worker's parents will try their best to assist their son or daughter if he or she ask them for help. Parents are selfless . What is more , parents are the people who understand the most of us . So all the suggestions and advices they give us are directed at us . For example , when I was child , I was diffident and was too shy to speak to other children . My parents knew that and they began to ask me to talk to others about my opinions , my feelings ,anything I want to say . And now they still encourage me to speak to foreigners and make friends with them . In a word , parents are really our best teachers . |
