选修七Unit 3　Under the sea

　　晨背三部曲（话题：热点话题）

　　满分佳作　

　　(2024·福建高考)孩子的成长和教育是社会热议的话题，现今父母包揽一切、孩子过度依赖等现象十分严重。请阅读漫画，按要求用英文写一篇短文。

　　内容要求： 1.描述漫画内容；2.分析漫画所揭示的问题；3.提出你的看法。

　　From the picture we can see a family of three walking on a long red carpet. The son, well dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating.

　　It shows a common ①phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering the hope of their parents. Parents arrange everything for their children and spare no effort to pave the way for their success. As a consequence, children become ②so reliant on their parents that they have no independent thought or creative ideas.

　　Such a situation is of great concern. In my opinion, overprotection and too much care are extremely bad for children's development. Instead of doing everything for them, parents should encourage their children to overcome difficulties and inspire them to develop by themselves. Only in this way can they grow up to be independent and become truly successful.
