题目

Do you think it’s necessary for children’s growth for them to live far away from home and stay with relatives or friends for short periods of time？

思路解析

1.走出父母的保护伞，有利于孩子独立。

2.与父母以外的人相处，也能帮助孩子建立人际关系。

范文文本

I think this may be a good idea, because a lot of parents tend to be overprotective of their children which really is a bad thing because helicopter parents either smother or spoil their children. So it would be good for children to sometimes step out of the comfort zones their parents provide and go live with people who will treat them less affectionately. I think this helps teach children to be independent and build healthy relationships with people other than their parents. I lived with a homestay family for about a year when I went to high school in Maine and I grew so much during that time.

中文释义

我认为这也许是个好主意，因为很多父母倾向于过度保护他们的孩子，这真的是一件坏事，因为这种“直升机式父母”要么令孩子窒息，要么就会宠坏孩子。所以对于孩子来说，有时走出父母给他们提供的舒适圈，与那些对他们不那么亲切的人一起生活是一件好事。我认为这样可以教孩子独立，并且能和父母之外的人建立健康的人际关系。我在缅因州上高中的时候在一个寄宿家庭住了一年，在那期间我成长了很多。
