雅思考试写作家庭生活类话题范文：父母是否该跟孩子们讲故事

2022-06-01 环球教育

　　Task：Some people think parents should read or tell stories to children, while others think parents need not do that, as children can read books, watch TV or movies by themselves.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

　　思路解析：

　　1. 给孩子讲故事好处多多。第一，这能巩固家庭纽带。举例，在讲故事的过程中，父母和孩子都会完全把注意力放到对方身上，进行深度的感情交流，这培养了他们之间的信任和相互关爱。

　　2. 第二，在听故事的过程中，孩子们的记忆力，语言能力，词汇量，以及把抽象信息视觉化的思维都会得到锻炼和提升，这对于他们今后的学术教育十分有用，比如说他们能在课堂上及时抓住老师讲课的要点。

　　3. 当然，孩子自由阅读或是观看电视也是必要的。举例，在独立阅读的过程中，他们需要进行独立的思考和判断，这让他们变得思维成熟，而且自由阅读各个领域的书籍也是一个实现自我认知的过程，让他们找到自己擅长的，感兴趣的专业方向。

　　参考范文：

　　It has been rightly said that ‘There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.’ The question of debate is whether

parents should read or tell stories to children or whether children should come to know about stories themselves by reading books or by watching TV or movies. In this essay I intend to

discuss both views followed by my opinion.

　　There are many benefits of reading bedtime stories to children. First of all, it encourages family bonding. In this day and age of hectic lives and busy schedules, reading together is a

simple and enjoyable way for parents to take time out and focus on the family. Children also feel wanted and loved. What is more, it moulds children into becoming readers, and this

significantly increases the child’s potential for academic success as well as lifelong success in general. It also helps children master language development as by listening to stories,

children learn pronunciation and vocabulary. It also builds listening skills, increases a child’s attention span, and develops the ability to concentrate. It develops children’s ability to

express themselves more confidently, easily, and clearly in spoken and written terms. It develops and fosters a child’s natural curiosity.

　　Furthermore, it develops creativity and a child’s ability to use his own imagination. It expands children’s horizons by exposing them to new situations, and teaches them appropriate

behavior. Reading children’s stories to children provides the best opportunities for true teaching moments as most of these stories have morals. Reading picture books develops a young child’s appreciation for the arts through exposure to many different styles of art and illustrations.

　　On the other hand, some opine that children should themselves read stories from books or watch them on TV and in movies. When reading books and news on TV by themselves

rather than by depending on parents, children have the freedom of making decisions and judgments, thus sharpening the ability of independent thinking. What is more, it is mainly freely

reading books, magazines and TV programs in a diversity of subjects, from science to arts to sports that builds up the self-discovery for children, for example, figuring out what subjects

and future careers might be suitable for their potentials, talents and interests.

　　This would be much easier for the parents who are too busy nowadays, but then all the above benefits would not ensue. What is more, parents can start telling stories to children

much before children can themselves read. Watching TV does not help the child to develop imagination and this may be detrimental in the long run. Moreover, it would be difficult to

monitor what children are actually learning.

　　To sum up, I believe that, it is always better for the parents as well as the children, if parents read aloud to their children. This would give them quality time together and loads of

other benefits which I have discussed above. I pen off with a famous quote of Robert Mackee “Stories are the creative conversion of life itself into a more powerful, clearer, more

meaningful experience. They are the currency of human contact.”
