儿童类话题在2018—2023年共考查过11次，本节给出了2篇范文（见表2–1–2）。范文1讨论是否应该7岁前上学；范文2讨论谁给儿童的影响更大，家庭、学校还是外部社会。
表2-1-2 儿童类话题
从本质上讲，范文1与其问儿童7岁以前要不要上学，不如问家长能不能别只知道逼孩子学习。孩子能不能有一些自由的探索，能不能参加一些体育锻炼或者玩一些能玩的游戏。
而范文2则是另一个极端，本质是问家长可不可以停止对孩子的溺爱。例如，孩子的需求都要满足吗？要让孩子长期生活在父母身边吗？来自外界的刺激真的会伤害孩子吗？
在作答这两道题目时，考生要将以下问题考虑清楚：
首先，7岁前上学有什么好处？有的家长认为提早上学的孩子能超越同龄人，让孩子获得竞争优势。越早接受知识的刺激就能越早促进大脑发育，提升孩子的认知能力。但是过早入学会占用孩子的时间，剥夺他们培养思维能力的机会，降低他们的好奇心，降低他们的求知欲、探索欲，不利于他们动手能力的提高。
其次，不让儿童接触学校和外部社会的影响有什么坏处？有些家长总是极力避免孩子受到外界刺激，这是保护欲太强的表现。在宽容和鼓励的声音中长大的孩子安全感十足，但也容易敏感，孩子在变得自信的同时，也会变得脆弱，这样的人在生活中并不少见。可能是他们没听到过真实的声音，很难接受直接或是稍微刺耳的批评。此外，除了能让孩子别太敏感，外界的刺激还教会他们如何与人交往。多和不同的人接触，孩子能学会从不同的角度看问题，也能感受人类的多样性，拓宽眼界。
总的来说，社会很复杂。小时候多接受外界的刺激，长长见识，长大了才能应对自如。

Some people think young children should get formal study at school as early as possible.However, others believe that children should not go to school until 7 years old. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (2018.8.25)
In today’s competitive world, parents are eager to give their children a competitive edge.This has led to a heated debate about whether children should receive formal education before the age of seven. Personally, I believe that children should have enough time to explore the world before starting formal schooling.
Admittedly, early enrollment in school can benefit a child’s future prospects. Those who are constantly exposed to questions tend to think more frequently, which stimulates brain growth and fosters cognitive capacity and critical thinking. Furthermore, early academic training provides more opportunities for children to assimilate knowledge from various fields. This can help them to discover their talents and interests, thereby exempting them from the trial and error costs.
However, knowledge is not the only factor that contributes to a happy life or a successful career. Firstly, physical health is crucial for success in hard work because it increases one’s stamina for heavy workloads and pressure in the future. Therefore, children should develop the habit of exercising from an even earlier age than seven instead of rushing to school and sitting for long hours. Secondly, a creative mind that is free from existing knowledge frameworks can offer novel perspectives and approaches. Cultivating a creative thought pattern filled with imagination is the foundation of learning and can be even more crucial to success.
In conclusion, having more time to study is undoubtedly essential for a promising future.However, during the vital formative years of a child, developing a habit of exercise and cultivating a creative mind should be given priority. (258 words)
在当今竞争激烈的世界中，父母都渴望给孩子一个竞争优势，这导致了关于儿童是否应该在7岁之前接受正规教育的激烈辩论。我个人认为，在开始接受正规学校教育之前，儿童应该有足够的时间来探索这个世界。
不可否认的是，早早地进入学校对孩子的未来前景有益。那些不断接触问题的人往往会更频繁地思考，这刺激了大脑的发育，培养了认知能力和批判性思维。此外，早期的课堂训练为儿童提供了更多的机会来吸收各个领域的知识。这可以帮助他们发现自己的天赋和兴趣，从而免除了试错的成本。
然而，知识并不是促成幸福生活或成功事业的唯一因素。首先，身体健康对于努力工作获取成功至关重要，因为它可以增强一个人的耐力，以应对未来繁重的工作和压力。因此，孩子们应该从比7岁更小的年龄阶段就养成锻炼身体的习惯，而不是急着去学校长时间坐着。其次，跳出现有知识框架的创造性思维可以带来新颖的观点和方法。培养充满想象力的创造性思维模式是学习的根本，对成功可能更加关键。
总之，有更多的时间学习，对于一个有前途的未来无疑是至关重要的。然而，在孩子重要的成长阶段，养成锻炼身体的习惯和培养创造性思维应该被优先考虑。
Although family is a great influence in any child’s life, it is influence from outside the home that plays a bigger role in his or her development. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? (2021.6.5)
The impact of family and circumstance on one’s success in life is a topic of continuous debate. From my perspective, a combination of both factors is the most significant ingredient for an individual’s development.
Parental nurturing during formative years is crucial for children, as it teaches them important social values such as manners and discipline, which are applicable throughout their life. Moreover, the family provides a sense of belonging and comfort during tough times. For example, individuals could always rely on their families to soothe their feelings and rejuvenate themselves in the face of adversity.
Similarly, a lack of care or attention from the original family could also deter children’s development because what they obtain from their family might be a sense of inferiority and insecurity instead of encouragement and forgiveness. Specifically, if individuals are not used to trying without any concern and then getting praise or advice for improvements, they will miss plenty of chances to improve, further losing opportunities for personal development.
However, external factors such as circumstances can provide a stimulus for growth and development. Being exposed to a diverse range of strangers and situations outside the home can broaden an individual’s horizons and cultivate their social skills. In the workplace, dealing with colleagues who may not be as supportive as family members can be challenging but can provide an opportunity for growth. Additionally, direct and immediate feedback is available outside the home, which can be harsh but beneficial for personal growth.
To conclude, both family and circumstance play a vital role in an individual’s development.A combination of both factors is necessary for an individual to thrive and succeed in life. (275 words)
家庭和环境对一个人人生成功的影响是一个不断被讨论的话题。在我看来，这两个因素的结合是影响一个人发展的最重要因素。
在成长阶段，父母的养育对孩子来说至关重要，因为这教会了他们重要的社会价值观，如礼貌和规矩，这些都适用于他们的一生。此外，家庭在困难时期能为孩子提供归属感和安慰。例如，个人在面对逆境时，总是可以依靠家庭来抚慰自己的情绪，使自己恢复活力。
同样，缺乏来自原生家庭的关怀或关注会阻碍儿童的发展，因为他们从家庭中获得的可能是一种自卑感和不安全感，而不是鼓励和原谅。具体来说，如果个人不习惯于毫无顾虑地去尝试，然后在改进后得到表扬或建议，那么他们就会错过很多提高的机会，进一步失去个人发展的机会。
然而，环境等外部因素可以为成长和发展提供动机。在家庭之外接触不同的陌生人和环境，可以拓宽个人的视野，培养他们的社交能力。在工作场所，与可能不像家庭成员那样贴心的同事打交道可能是一种挑战，但可以提供一个成长的机会。此外，在家庭之外可以得到直接和即时的反馈，这可能是严厉的，但对个人成长是有益的。
总而言之，家庭和环境在个人的发展中都发挥着重要作用。这两个因素的结合对于一个人在生活中茁壮成长和取得成功是必要的。
