Answer 1

分析 本篇作文要求考生谈论关于孩子与父母谈心的话题．要将图表所包含的有效信息用文字表达出来，并适当发挥想象，要点已经给出，写作时注意准确运用一般现在时，上下文意思连贯，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次．重要短语：
 on average，平均；busy doing sth．忙于做某事；
高分句子：
1．In my opinion，children should let their parents know more about what they are interested in．本句中含有what引导的主语从句，丰富了句子结构．
2．Only in this way can they better understand each other．本句含有重要句式，only置于句首时，主句要进行倒装，意为只有…才…

解答 Heart-to-Heart Talks with Parents
As is shown in the bar chart， children spend less time having heart-to-heart talks with their parents when they grow older．For example，the 7-9 age group spends as many as 6 hours per week on average，while the 16-18 age group spends only half the time（描述图中信息）．
There are two major reasons for this．（指出原因）For one thing，both parents and children are too busy working or studying．For another，there aren't many topics of common interest for them to talk about．
In my opinion，children should let their parents know more about what they are interested in（高分句型）．At the same time，parents should spend more time talking with their children and sharing opinions with them．Only in this way can they better understand each other（高分句型）．

点评 在完成图表作文时，首先要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型，在能力范围之内，选择句式时要赋予变化，因为这样才可以更好的驾驭．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．
