Li is a hero. But at the same time, it has to be pointed out that he was and is not the ideal teacher for his daughter. She can’t possibly learn about physics, chemistry and biology from an elderly man with no formal higher education. I wish his daughter all the success in life that she may wish to have.nit666

I was homeschooled until I was about 12. In Australia, we have a remote school option for people who live away from the cities. We were taught through mail. I would say that you can learn as much knowledge as people in a school. My life were much happier without the kind of academic pressure.

Answer 1

【答案】With the availability of educational resources, home schooling is an option that is becoming more and more attractive to parents nowadays. However, some people support it while others do not.

I am strongly against this practice. Home schooling is not allowed in our country because it is compulsory for parents to send their kids to schools for an all-round education. In addition, the biggest drawback of home schooling is a lack of interaction with others. The social experiences at school are very essential to enable a child to fit into the competitive society. Homeschooled children may lose many chances to compete with their peers. What’s worse, learning outside a school environment can consume a lot of mom’s or dad’s time, which can be a big challenge for families to balance their budget.

In short, it is necessary that children should be sent to public or private schools for formal schooling.

【解析】这是一篇读写任务类的书面表达。要求学生在读懂所给材料的基础上，概括所给材料并发表自己的看法。这对学生的理解总结概括能力有很高的要求。第一部分是对所给材料的概括，而不是详细描述文章内容，而且所给字数为30个左右，所以最好做到一句话概括文章内容，一句话点出文章揭示的现象或哲理。此外，要求考生根据所给提纲发表个人观点，这属于半开放式表达。学生可以根据实际情况，自由的发表自己的看法。在该部分中，学生要注意用具体理由和论据来支持自己的观点。

【亮点点评】这篇范文最出彩的地方是第一段，简洁明了的概括了所给内容。此外，文章中采用了一些高级词汇，例如：availability，compulsory，drawback，essential，competitive，consume等。定语从句（that is becoming more and more attractive to parents nowadays，which can be abig challenge for families to balance their budget），主语从句（that children should be sent to public or private schools for fonmal schooling）等也应用的非常合适。另外，however，in addition，what’s worse，in short等的使用使文章上下文连贯自然。
