常州朗閣雅思培訓(xùn)名師講解父愛是否很重要。Question: In modern society, fatherhood should be emphasized as much as motherhood. Do you agree or disagree?
解讀：這個題目的意思是父愛是否應(yīng)當像母愛一樣被重視，問考生同意還是不同意。這個題目的難度可以說是非常的大。主要有兩個原因：第一，父愛和母愛是非常抽象的話題，考生很難將其具體化。第二，父愛和母愛的分論點比較難以提煉。而且，考生還需要注意的是這個題目無論是同意或者不同意，母愛都是非常重要的。所以，這個題目主要的問題在于父愛是否是很重要的。
1st argument:
First of all, fatherhood plays an integral and critical role in shaping the personality and character of children. The strong impact made by fathers on children is best reflected in the case of single-parent families. Children raised in such families are often characterized by low self-esteem, because the fact that they come from broken families is frequently discriminated against and considered a laughing stock by their peers. Worse yet, in the event of divorce, it is widely adopted practice that the custody of the children is often granted to the mother and the father is obliged to pay a small sum of alimony on a regular basis-barely sufficient for the mother and the child to make a decent living. So, children from single-parent families are deprived of what their peers often take for granted-fancy toys, family trips, or video games. Moreover, fathers are often portrayed as “the discipliner” in the family, responsible for taking any necessary disciplinary actions-corporal punishment in some extreme cases-against their children. Mothers, on the other hand, are simply not up to the task of disciplining their children. If that is the case, the children may easily sidetrack, running the risks of becoming either a drug addict or a felon.
2nd argument:
It is also worth noting that fathers can also engage in certain activities with their children that mothers are not deemed equally competent for. Sports, for instance, are not what full-time housewives have in mind when they take their children out for play. Fathers, much more qualified for sports than mothers, can teach the basic skills and techniques associated with a particular sport to their children, helping them to learn, in a step-by-step fashion, how to play these sports. In case of an accidental minor injury, fathers at least know the basic procedures needed for emergency treatment, such as how to tie a bandage properly and how to disinfect the wounds. Besides, fathers can take their children, especially boys, on adventures. They may choose to go camping in a jungle, which helps their children to deal with fears; they can go hiking or rock-climbing, providing their children opportunities to savor the victory if they succeed.
3rd argument:
Despite all the promising advantages of fatherhood, it is doubtful that these advantages can materialize in reality. Fathers are, in most cases, the breadwinners in the family. They are often busily involved in their career pursuits, lacking adequate time set aside for their closest family members. If they give up their career, the quality of life of the family will drop significantly. It is a dilemma that requires fathers to strike a balance between work and family.
思路：
首先，父親在對孩子的性格和品德的培養(yǎng)扮演了一個不可或缺的關(guān)鍵作用。父親對孩子的影響在單親家庭的情況下有著明顯的體現(xiàn)。單親家庭里成長起來的孩子往往比較自卑，因為他們來自于一個破碎的家庭，所以他們經(jīng)常被其他的同學(xué)或者是朋友嘲笑，甚至是歧視。更糟糕的是，當父母離婚的時候，孩子的撫養(yǎng)權(quán)往往會判給母親，而父親則需要定期地支付一筆撫養(yǎng)費。這筆撫養(yǎng)費可能很少，并不能滿足兩個人的日常的正常生活的需求。所以，來自于單親家庭的孩子往往沒有辦法得到他們的同齡人所得到的東西，比如說玩具，家庭旅行的機會，或者是電子游戲。而且，父親在很多家庭中還扮演著懲罰者的作用，他們需要采取必要的家庭教育，甚至說體罰。而母親相比來說，無法很好地扮演好這些角色。如果父親不在身邊，而母親又無法很好地嚴厲地教育好孩子的話，孩子可能會走上犯罪的道路，比如說吸食毒品或者是犯罪。
其次，父親也經(jīng)常會帶孩子們參與一些活動是母親無法陪伴的。很多母親可能并沒有辦法經(jīng)常地陪他們的孩子到戶外去參加一些體育鍛煉。比如說，父親可以教孩子一些運動的基本技巧和技術(shù)，幫助他們一步一步地學(xué)好如何玩這些運動。如果萬一說孩子受傷了，父親可以第一時間采取一些應(yīng)急措施，比如說纏上繃帶，或者避免傷口感染。而且，父親可以帶著孩子，尤其是男孩，去參加探險活動。他們可以在森林里扎營，鍛煉孩子應(yīng)對恐懼的心理；他們也可以去徒步旅行或者是攀巖，給孩子們一些機會去品嘗勝利的滋味，如果他們成功的話。
盡管說父愛有著各種各樣的好處，但是這些所謂的好處并不見得一定能轉(zhuǎn)化為現(xiàn)實。在大多數(shù)的家庭里面，父親往往是家庭的頂梁柱，重要的經(jīng)濟收入來源。他們通常大多數(shù)時間里忙碌于自己的工作或者是事業(yè)，而根本沒有足夠的時間去陪伴家里的人。如果讓他們放棄事業(yè)的話，恐怕就會遭遇一種進退兩難的局面，所以這需要父親去做出一個良好的平衡。
