    Topic: Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this.

    Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

    Nowadays, some people believe that children should learn how to be good citizens at school while others think that it’d be better for them to learn it from their parents. I am in favor of the second opinion.

    It goes without saying that a child’s eduction is not just about learning knowledge and getting good scores. It’s more about the formation of personality and the shaping of moral conviction. But generally, schools are just places to learn about skills and knowledge. And since students always greatly outnumber teachers in most of schools, it is impossible for teacher to take responsibility for every student’s personality formation.

    So parents should see to it that their own kids can get good education. There are two main reasons why parents should teach children how to be good members of society rather than teachers. Firstly, according to a great number of researches, people’s personality can be much more mountable at their tender age than in any other periods. Compared to teachers, children at this young age usually spend more time with their parents. Therefore, it’s a good time for parents to teach their children right from wrong and help them form proper moral conviction.

    Secondly, it should be noted that children tend to imitate their parents unconsciously. If parents can set good examples for their children, thier kids can naturally grow up healthier. For instance, those children who grow up in loving families with educational parents can always achieve better performance in lots of aspects and can make greater contributions to the society than other children.

    In summary,  to teach the young generation to be better members of the society, family eduction is much more important than the education at school.

     

    P.S. There are some questions and I expect for your answers:

    • Is the example in the fourth paragraph suitable? Or should I include an example with more details?
    • Am I correct to give my opinion at the beginning of the passage? Or it’d be better to point out my view after the discussion?
    • And I feel that the logic of this passage not strong, how can I make it more self-consistency?

    Any reply will be helpful. Thank you very much!

    Some people believe that children should learn how to be good citizens at school. But others think that it would be better for them to learn it from their parents. I am in favour of the second opinion.

    It is incomplete for children’s education to only include learning knowledge and skills. It should also focus on the formation of personality and the nurture of ethics. But generally, schools are places to teach students how to make a living. And it is impossible for teacher to take responsibility for every student’s personality formation. Because teachers are always outnumbered by their students.

    So parents should see to it that their kids can get suitable family education. There are two main reasons why parents should teach children how to be qualified members of society rather than teachers. Firstly, according to a considerable number of research results, people’s personality can be much more mountable at their tender age than in any other periods. Compared to teachers, children at that young age usually spend more time with their parents. Therefore, it is a good time for parents to teach their children right from wrong and help them form proper moral conviction.

    Secondly, children tend to imitate their parents unconsciously. So kids would be able to grow up healthier if their parents set good examples to them. For instance, those children who grow up in loving families can always achieve better performance in many aspects than other children. Therefore, they can surely make great contributions to the society.

    To summarize, to help the young generation to be better members of the society, family and school education are both vital. But parents’ education is more indispensable.
