参考范文

A glimpse into the future of a child and a society is available in daily life. Some children are encouraged to make their own decisions about daily matters affecting them, but others are concerned that this may make a society where people only think about their own wishes.

Allowing children to make their own choices in daily matters may be based on the brief that overly protective parents tend to have overly dependent offspring. This isn t good for the children's growth or for the parents. We often hear about dangers for children who always turn to their parents if there's a problem or decision, and who expect their parents to meet all their needs. However, we do not hear as much about how parents* lives can be restricted by these needs. Adult children who cling to unrealistic expectations of what their parents should do for them might make their own lives and their parent's lives difficult.

However, there are also some pessimists about freedom of children. They may think if young children are always given the freedom to make their own choices, such as selecting a favourite clothes or a particular flavor of ice cream, they may gradually become a person who only cares about their own feelings or desires. This means when they grow up there would be many self-centred adults who only care about themselves and do everything only for their own interests.They would do this because they are taught this when they are young. This is not good for the development of our society and dearly, this is not a society we want to become.

From my perspective, children should be given some freedom to make their own decisions about daily matters because this is important for their independence and also good for their parents. But it does not mean that parents should never intervene. They should give some suggestions to their children and help them take into account the possible consequences of their actions.

参考译文

对孩子和社会未来的一瞥可以反映在日常生活中。一些孩子被鼓励对自己的日常琐事做决定，但是其他人担忧，这可能会造成我们的社会每个人都只考虑自己的意愿。

允许孩子每天在自己的事情上自己做决定是因为对孩子过度保护的家长往往会使得孩子过度依赖.这对孩子的成长以及对家长本身并不是有利的。我们经常听到当遇到困难或 需要做决定的时候，孩子总是求助于父母并希望父母满足他们所有的要求的种种危害，但是我们不曾听到父母的生活会被这些孩子的要求所限制。长大后的孩子总是期望父母为他 们做一些不现实的事情，这不仅使得他们自己也使得他们父母的生活非常痛苦。

然而，也有人对孩子的这种自由决定权表示悲观。他们认为如果小孩子被给予太多自由，比如选择最喜欢的衣服或最喜欢的冰激凌味道，他们可能逐渐成为一个只在乎自己感受的人。这就意味着，当他们长大后，有很多自我为中心的人，他们只在乎自己，或做的每一件事情都只为了自己的利益，因为他们从小就是这样被教导的。这对我们的社会发展并不利，也不是我们想要看到的社会。

我认为孩子应该被给予自由去对他们自己每天的事情做决定，因为这对他们的独立性很有帮助，也对他们的父母是有利的。但这并不意味着父母永远都不介入，父母也可以给孩子一些建议，来帮助他们考虑到一些事情可能发生的结果。
