Answer 1

【答案】

Nowadays, there is a phenomenon that more and more parents of middle school students are hiring/renting houses near the schools in which their children are attending so that they can take good care of the children. Does this have more advantages over disadvantages?

On the one hand, the parents do have the responsibility to take care of their children, especially when they are senior 3 students. First of all, the students are faced with heavy study burden and mental pressure, so their parents comforts and care will make them feel relaxed. Besides, with the help of their parents, the students can save much time and energy from traveling on the buses or doing some washing all by themselves, so that they can have more time to study.

On the other hand, children are to their parents what birds are to their nests. It is natural for the young to grow up and learn to deal with the affairs in their life. If the parents take over much of the work, the children may grow up unable to take care of themselves, let alone take on their responsibilities to work for the society.

In a word, I don’t agree it is a good choice for the parents to do so.

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇观点论述性书面表达。第1段导入：提出一种现象或某个决定作为议论的话题。第2段对这一话题进行正反分述，本段一般也采用总分总或总分的写作特点，让评卷老师一目了然。当然在表述时要注意句式变换，主被动兼用，切勿单纯翻译，结构单一

【亮点说明】范文运用一些常见的短语take good care of照顾；On the one hand一方面；On the other hand另外一方面；First of all首先；with the help of在。。帮助下；deal with处理；In a word总而言之；Nowadays, there is a phenomenon that more and more parents of middle school students are hiring/renting houses near the schools in which their children are attending so that they can take good care of the children这个句子第一个that引导是phenomenon的同位语从句；in which引导的是the school的定语从句；It is natural for the young to grow up and learn to deal with the affairs in their life.这个句子it做形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式；
