2015年12月13日托福写作范文

Independent Writing

  Some people think that older children should be required to take care of the younger children. Others think that this should be done by parents or other adults. Which do you prefer?

  Forty years ago in China, due to the poor conditions, while parents were too busy to care about the family, older children needed to do a lot things, including taking care of their younger siblings. Quite differently, nowadays, since the living conditions become much better, the older children are reluctant to do this anymore. Consequently, however, they lose a chance to get such experience, which will help them a lot. Hence, from my perspective, older brothers should take the responsibility to attend to the younger children.

  Admittedly, some people would consider it as parents’ responsibility to take care of children. In their mind, children would be mature enough to handle various emergency, such as health problems, financial issues. Parents have gone through various challenges, so they are capable of helping children in curing the diseases by looking for the best doctors or collecting money to crack their financial burdens. However, on balance, parents in modern society would be too busy to spare time to take care of their children. It is not rare to see parents work overtime during weekdays; when they come home, their children have already fallen asleep, leaving them mere time to communicate, let alone giving care. In this way, asking older children to take care of younger children would be a better choice.

  To begin with, older children would be capable of dealing with younger children’s problems both from school and life. That is to say , siblings are willing to share their things with each. For example, when Jason is at his 10th grade in junior high school, he suffered from problems in his maths classes. He could not understand what the professor explains in class, which makes him fail nearly all the quizzes through the semester. After he tells his brother, Alex, Alex helps him review the maths homework every evening and explain the point that has puzzled him over and over till he could fully understand. Alex even look up for some tutorial materials where Jason could use to strengthen the impression about his homework. As a result, thanks to his brother, Jason could catch up with other classmates in maths and even get a B plus in his final.

  In addition, this can reinforce the relationship between siblings. As is known to all, many families are confronted with a problem that children are not in harmony with each other. For example, a classmate of mine in high school always fought with his brother often due to some tiny issues. This phenomenon results from the fact that present children are more selfish than before. They are reluctant to share. Nevertheless, suppose the older children offer to take care of their younger brothers, the younger one will in turn, be grateful for that. Therefore, the relationship between sibling can be strengthened.

  In sum, taking all advantages into consideration, older children are supposed to help parents look after the younger one. By doing so, not only parents, but also the kids will enjoy the benefits arising from it.
