Ⅰ. Writing(本题共100分)

Directions:

Recently, Amy Chua, or the “Tiger Mother”, aroused heated discussions both in US and in China with her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. The following are the ten things she lists in her book that she strictly forbids her two daughters to do:

a. Attend a sleepover (a party for children in which they stay the night at someone’s house);

b. Have a play date (in which children hang out with their friends);

c. Be in a school play;

d. Complain about not being in a school play;

e. Watch TV or play computer games;

f. Choose their own extracurricular activities;

g. Get any grade less than an A;

h. Not be the No. 1 student in every subject except gym and drama;

i. Play any instrument other than the piano or violin; j. Not play the piano or violin.

You are invited to write under either of the following two topics. The length of your writing should not exceed 300 words.

(1) Suppose you are a “tiger parent”. Write a letter to your child and explain to her/him your ideas about tiger parenting.

(2) Suppose you are a child who has tiger parents. Write a letter to your parents and explain to them your ideas about tiger parenting.

Dear mom:

I’m so delighted to have this chance to communicate with you. First and foremost, I’ m willing to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation, for you have given me a great deal of assistance. Frankly speaking, now I am writing not to complain about the tiger parenting. I just want to talk about my views as follows.

There is no denying that tiger parenting has its correct element to begin with, as a teenager, I still need the guidance from you who will always give some beneficial advice to me. Also, a high grade in Entrance Examination to College provides every student with the only chance to be admitted to college so it’s necessary to work harder, for insistent striving guarantee success.

But I don’t fancy the idea that as a student, I ought to accept the tiger parenting all the time. Say, it’s unreasonable to deprive me of my social life time. Not only does the social activity provide me with a stage to learn more extra class knowledge, but also it does broaden my horizon. What’s more, grade is not the only way to judge a student, so, my dear mom, please do not go extremes to require me to be the top student in my class. In the wake of huge pressure, I may not be able to concentrate on study.

Besides, I’m fully convinced that being happy largely depends on what we want rather than what parents want. Some parents always live

under the illusion that we could sacrifice everything for the privilege of the “so-called” success. And it’s beyond me why people are always crazy about pursing something invisible, regardless of the easy-getting blessing. So it is of vital importance to make out the true meaning of happiness.

Living without tiger parenting, Edison brought light to our earth; living without tiger parenting, Lincoln unified the United States of America; also living without tiger parenting, Einstein led the physics into a new age. In the light of these illustrations, it can be concluded that tiger parenting is not omnipotent.

My dear mum, though I’m still young, I want to be in control of my own destiny. I want to fly in the sky, like an eagle, but not a kite.

Yours

Daughter Dear mom and dad, (格式错误，是逗号)

I’m so delighted to have this chance to communicate with you. First and foremost, I’ m willing to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation, for you have given me a great deal of assistance. Frankly speaking, now I don’t set out to complain about the tiger parenting while I just want to talk about my views. And my opinion is as follows.

To begin with, there is no denying that tiger parenting has its correct element. Since most of us still need the guide from our parents who will always share with us some beneficial advice. Also, a high grade in Entrance Examination to College provides every student with the only chance to be admitted to college. So it’s necessary to work harder, for insistent striving is the guarantee of success.(个人提议：此处和高考有什么关系？)

But I don’t fancy the idea that being students, we ought to accept the tiger parenting all the time. Say, it’s unreasonable to cancel our social-life time. Not only does the social activity provide us with a stage to learn more extra class knowledge, but also it does broaden our horizons. What’s more, grade is not the only way to judge a student, so my dear parents please do not go extremes to require us to be the top student in our class. In the wake of huge pressure, we may not be able to concentrate on study.

Besides, I am fully convinced that being happy largely depends on what we want rather than what parents want. Some parents always live under the illusion that we could sacrifice everything for the privilege of the “so-called” success. And it’s beyond me that why people are always tired of (什么中文含义？) pursuing something invisible, far out of hand for the easy-getting blessing. So it is of vital importance to get the sense of the true meaning of happiness.

Living without tiger parenting, Edison brought light to our earth; living without tiger parenting, Lincoln unified the United States of America; also living without tiger parenting, Einstein led the physics into a new age. In the light of this statement, tiger parenting is not omnipotent.

My dear parents, though we’re still young, we are eager to control our own destiny. We want to fly in the sky, as an eagle, but not a kite.

Yours

Sophie
