2017.7.15雅思大作文范文:父母应该给孩子读书讲故事吗?
Some people think parents should read or tell stories to children. Others think parents needn’t do that as children can read books or watch TV and movies by themselves. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
解析:
孩子睡觉前,父母给他们读书讲故事,这个场景是我们很多人挥之不去的儿童记忆。但是,有些人却认为,父母根本没有必要给孩子读书讲故事,其原因是孩子们自己可以读书,自己可以看电视或电影。
本次雅思考试问的就是:你怎么看待这种观点?
唐老师在历年雅思作文考试题库中进行搜索,发现本题是2010年11月4日的一次原题翻版。2015年 12月12日的题目也与本题有相关之处,但略有不同:本题问父母该不该给孩子读书讲故事,而2015年底的问题则是读书与看电视相比,哪一项活动更好。
那么,父母应该给孩子读书讲故事呢,还是让孩子自己去读书看电视呢?题目要求我们做双方讨论(discuss both views)。
那我们就可以首先看看孩子自己读书看电视的好处,可能包括:时间上当然对父母有好处,另外还可以捎带培养孩子自己的独立阅读和理解能力。
但是父母给孩子读书讲故事也有好处,包括:可以帮助孩子们更好更快地理解故事,当然还可以帮助加深父母孩子之间的感情。综合起来看,父母在孩子早期发展过程中,应该给孩子读书讲故事,随着孩子的阅读理解能力增加,可以逐渐让孩子自己学会读书和看电视。
段
For many people, listening to their parents reading or telling stories before bedtime has become part of their childhood memory. Yet others argue that it is quite unnecessary for parents to do so because their children can learn about these stories by reading or watching TV themselves.
参考译文 对许多人来说,睡前听父母讲故事已经成为他们童年记忆的一部分。然而,其他人认为,父母完全没有必要这样做,因为孩子自己可以通过阅读或看电视来了解这些故事。
解析:
(1) childhood memory 童年记忆
(2) argue 认为;争辩
第二段
Admittedly, reading or telling stories to children costs a lot of time on the part of the parents. Quite often, this means that parents have to spend one or two hours, or even longer than that, trying to put their curious children to dreams by reading or telling stories. Meanwhile, if children are left reading or watching TV by themselves, their general ability of comprehension may be better developed because they have to rely on themselves figuring out the meaning of the stories they are reading or watching on TV.
参考译文不可否认,给孩子读或者讲故事花费父母很多时间。这意味着父母经常必须花一两个小时,甚至更长的时间,通过阅读或讲故事让好奇的孩子们进入梦乡。同时,如果孩子们独自阅读或看电视,他们总体的理解能力可能会得到更好的发展,因为他们必须依靠自己来理解读到的或者在电视上看到的故事的意义。
解析:
(1)本段先讲让孩子自己读故事的好处。
(2)on the part of... 对......来说
(3)curious 好奇的
(4)comprehension 理解
(5)figure out 弄明白
第三段
Nevertheless, a great majority of parents still choose to read or tell stories to their children. They regard it necessary not just when their kids are too young to read, but when they grow old enough to read themselves. Reading or telling stories, besides providing an opportunity for the parents to stay together with their children, is also often considered as a wonderful occasion for parents to share their life’s lesson or wisdom with their children. So the fairy tale about a fox is often not just an interesting story, but one that tells the kids about the risks of greed, and similarly, the story of George Washington cutting a cherry tree makes the kids realize the importance of honesty.
参考译文然而,绝大多数父母仍然选择给孩子读故事或讲故事。他们认为不仅是当孩子们年龄太小不会阅读,而且当孩子长大能够阅读时也有必要。读或讲故事除了给父母提供机会与孩子待在一起,还通常被认为是父母与孩子分享人生教训或智慧的机会。因此,关于一只狐狸的童话故事通常不只是一个有趣的故事,而是告诉孩子们贪婪的风险,同样,乔治·华盛顿砍樱桃树的故事让孩子们意识到诚实的重要性。
解析
(1) 本段讲父母给孩子读或讲故事的好处。
(2) nevertheless 不仅如此
(3) a great majority of 绝大多数......
(4) occasion 场合;机会
(5) greed 贪婪
第四段
So, far from a waste of time, sharing stories with kids can be an occasion with both emotional andinstructional value. Parents should not stop reading and telling stories to their kids until they become old enough to read independently.
参考译文所以,与孩子们分享故事根本不是浪费时间,而且是一个兼具情感和教育价值的场合。父母不应该停止给孩子读讲故事,直到他们大到可以独立阅读。
解析:
(1)本段是结论段。
(2)instructional 教育的
(3)independently 独立地
