【參考范文】
In the pictures above are a father and her beloved son. In the left cartoon, smoking a cigarette and sitting in a sofa comfortably, the father is watching a football match on TV and shouting, “Son, study hard for me!” On the contrary, in the left portrayal, at 9 p.m. , the father is studying together with his son, both totally absorbed in their books. The caption indicates, “Instead of merely making a request, setting an example.”
The purpose of the pictures is to show us that utmost significance should be attached to practicing what you preach. On the one hand, parents teach much more by their actions, than by their words. Some of them may say to their children, “don’t say nasty things about so and so”, and then the children will hear them criticize their friends and neighbors. On the other hand, parenting is such a crucial responsibility, yet there are no required courses to prepare one to undertake this role in life. The only learning is the example from one’s own parents.
To sum up, parents are the best teachers.
Obviously, if parents’ actions don’t conflict their own words, they would have the opportunity to be outstanding examples of their children. Just as an old saying goes, “Action speak louder than words.”
在上面的圖片中是一個父親和她心愛的兒子。在左邊的卡通,抽著煙,舒適的坐在沙發上,父親在電視上看一場足球賽,大喊一聲:“兒子,給我努力學習!“相反,在左邊的描述,在9點,父親和他的兒子一起學習,完全沉浸在他們的書。標題所示,”而不是僅僅發出請求,樹立榜樣。”
圖畫的目的是告訴我們,最大的意義應該練習你所說。一方面,父母教更多的行動,而不是他們的話。他們中的一些人可能會對他們的孩子說,“不要說壞話某某”,然后孩子們會聽到他們批評他們的朋友和鄰居。另一方面,父母是這樣一個至關重要的責任,然而沒有必修課程準備一個在生活中承擔這個角色。唯一的學習例子從自己的父母。
總之,父母是最好的老師。
顯然,如果父母自己行動不沖突的話,他們將有機會成為優秀孩子的例子。正如那句老話,“行動勝于言語”。
