Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents or other adult relatives should make important decisions for their older (15 to 18 year-old) teenaged children. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
No one knows me as well as my parents. No one wants the best for me like my parents. It is natural that I should allow my parents to make important decisions for me. I think all older teenagers (15 to 18 year-olds) should take their parents advice on decisions that concern their education, their social life, and their future careers.
没有人比我父母更了解我。没有人像我的父母那样想要我最好的。我应该允许我的父母为我做重要的决定,这是很自然的。我认为所有年龄较大的青少年(15到18岁)都应该听取父母的建议,做出与他们的教育、社会生活和未来职业有关的决定。
My parents have always chosen the best schools for me to attend. They have encouraged me to attend special prep classes to make sure that I was well prepared for the exams. They have given me tutors to make sure that I understood my subjects well. When it comes to choosing a college, I will trust my parents to make that decision. They know what they can afford and what will give me a good education.
我父母总是为我选择最好的学校。他们鼓励我参加特别的预科班,以确保我为考试做好准备。他们给我辅导,以确保我能很好地理解我的科目。说到选择大学,我相信我的父母会做出这个决定。他们知道他们能负担得起什么,什么能给我良好的教育。
When I was young, my parents would invite children over to play with me. Over the years, I have become very close to these children. They are like my family. We celebrate holidays and birthdays together. We even go to the mountains together in the summer. My parents do not want me to fall into the wrong crowd. They do not want me to meet and fall in love with someone they do not know. I understand that and I want to make them happy.
当我年轻的时候,我的父母会邀请孩子们来和我一起玩。这些年来,我和这些孩子已经很亲近了。他们就像我的家人。我们一起庆祝节日和生日。夏天我们甚至一起去山上。我父母不想让我误入歧途。他们不想让我遇见和爱上一个他们不认识的人。我明白这一点,我想让他们高兴。
My father runs a very successful business and my mother is a well-known politician. They are very well connected and they have many friends who would like me to work for them when I finish school. This is a very good arrangement for me.
我父亲经营着一家非常成功的企业,我母亲是一位著名的政治家。他们关系很好,有很多朋友希望我放学后为他们工作。这对我来说是一个很好的安排。
If all children follow their parents' wishes, they would probably be happier. Parents only want the best for their children.
如果所有的孩子都听从父母的愿望,他们可能会更快乐。父母只想给孩子最好的
