第二节 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

在全国“两会”上，“农村留守儿童” 问题成为人大代表和政协委员普遍关注的热门话题之一。请阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

In China, with one or two parents going out to earn money, many children are left in their hometown in the countryside. These children are called “leftover children”. A large number of leftover children have emerged since 1978, and the statistics showed in 2004, the total is 22 million.

Usually their grandparents or their parents’ friends or relatives look after these leftover children. Sometimes they are brought up by one of their parents at home. In most cases, their guardians are not quite educated. To them, making sure that the children are healthy and fed well is the most important task, and that the children are safe and sound is considered to have done a good job. But they seldom care about children’s study, their psychological needs, or mental demands. Neither do they spend  some time teaching kids how to develop good habits.

Therefore, for most of the time, the leftover children can’t get emotional support from their parents, which can result in so many problems.

Answer 1

Show More Concern About the Leftover Children

   The passage points out a worrying phenomenon in China that the leftover children living in the countryside have lacked their parents’ love because their parents have gone to make a fortune in cities.

   As we all know, people living in the countryside have to work far away from their family to earn more money in order to create better living conditions for their children. However, the children have been separated from their parents and live with their grandparents or relatives, who are not so educated. So their study, their mental and psychological demands can’t be drawn attention too. In that case, it’s easy for them to get into bad habits, which can’t be corrected in time. That’s worse, the lack of parents’ love may make them feel lonely.

   In my opinion, the key to solving the problem is to have love shinning over them. Parents should keep in touch with them now and then, and be concerned about their psychological demands
