题目

Do you think it is better for parents to praise their children for good behaviors or to punish their children for bad behaviors？

思路解析

1.孩子做错了事，接受惩罚是合理的。

2.举例说明惩罚孩子的意义（bullying是个很好的举例主题，平时可以留意积累）。

范文文本

I think the biggest problem in today’s parenting is that we are so afraid to give our children some tough love. We fear that our children will grow up resenting us. But some of life’s most valuable lessons have to be taught through punishment. For example, when your kid is a bully at school, as a responsible parent you have to make them apologize to people that they have hurt or even traumatized. You can ground them or take away their phones in order to make them realize it’s never OK to pick on other students. In such cases, punishment is absolutely necessary, and there’s no problem in disciplining your children.

中文释义

我认为现在家长教育孩子的最大问题就是不敢对孩子太严厉，我们害怕孩子长大以后会记恨我们。但是生活中一些最有价值的道理必须要通过惩罚才能让孩子学会。比如，当你的孩子在学校霸凌其他小孩时，作为一个有责任心的家长，你必须让孩子向那些被伤害甚至受到严重精神创伤的人道歉。你可以关他们禁闭，没收他们的手机，来让他们明白欺负其他同学是绝对不可以的。在这样的情况下，惩罚是完全必要的，管教你的孩子没有任何问题。

1.tough love:love or affectionate concern expressed in a stern or unsentimental manner(as through discipline)especially to promote responsible behavior通过严厉的态度表达的爱和关切（比如通过管教），目的是提倡负责的行为

to practice tough love出于爱护而采取严厉的措施

2.ground关禁闭（即家长不让孩子出去玩）

3.pick on找别人的茬；欺负

4.discipline（家长/老师）管教

思路解析

惩罚孩子是为了让他们知道是非，如果做错事不罚，孩子长大以后可能会犯大错。然后举例说明（bullying是个很好的例子，可以反复使用在学校环境、青少年成长、家长教育等相关的话题中）。

范文文本

I think it’s better for parents to be strict and punish their children for bad behaviors because children sometimes are not able to tell right from wrong, and parents should teach them what is acceptable and what is not. If parents don’t punish their children when they have done something bad, they may think it’s not a big deal and they may keep doing it in the future. Sometimes little mistakes lead to really bad mistakes. For example, if your kid is a bully at school, and you just say“kids will be kids”, you may not know that kids who are bullied at school sometimes kill themselves. So a bully has to be punished, if not, you are just allowing your kid to be a monster.

中文释义

我认为家长最好还是对孩子严格一些，惩罚孩子的不良行为，因为有时候孩子没有能力分辨是非，家长应该教会他们什么样的行为是可以接受的，什么样的行为是不能接受的。如果家长在孩子们做出不好的行为时不去惩罚他们，孩子可能会认为这不是什么大事，并且可能在以后继续这种行为。有时候，小错会引出大祸。比如说，如果你的孩子在学校霸凌别人，而你只是说“孩子总归是孩子”，你可能不知道那些在学校被霸凌的孩子有时会走上自杀的路。所以霸凌行为是要被惩罚的，不然的话，你就是在放任自己的孩子成为一个恶魔。

语料积累

1.tell right from wrong分辨是非

2.kids will be kids孩子总归是孩子（这句话经常成为纵容“熊孩子”的理由）

3.monster恶魔；坏蛋（这个词使用频率很高，形容那些特别坏的人时都可以用） d3HRGa3NxljnAtIAJmgyybS9EQZjP4iNXh8+CmTS2AbhOp59WUojecoSInMbRzxe
