写作素材：how to best handle the relationship between parents and children

Communication Is the best Gift for Parents

 

首段

引出话题：父母与子女的关系

The relationship between parents and children is eternal and universal topic for mankind.

【for mankind（对人类而言）；be eternal and universal topic（永恒由普遍的话题）】

Our relationship with parents might be different at different ages.

【might be different at different ages可能在不同年龄阶段有所不同】

表明观点：对年轻人而言，这种关系取决于孩子的做法

And for young people at their 20s，I think it will depend more on what children do.

【young people at their 20s（二十几岁的年轻人）；at their 20s（二十几岁）；depend more on...（更多取决于......）；what children do孩子怎么做】

 

第二段

承接上文解释原因

The reason why I say so is that as we grow up，our parents who were our idols before gradually get old and even out-dated.

【The reason why I say so is that+从句...（我们之所以这样说是因为......）；as+从句...，+主句...（随着......，......）；before（以前）做时间状语；be our idols before（曾经被我们视为偶像）；who were our idols before作定语从句来修饰parents来做主语；get old（老去）；gradually（渐渐地）；and even（甚至）；get out-dated（落伍）；gradually get old and even out-dated（渐渐地老去甚至落伍）】

使用让步状语从句，论证观点

However hard efforts they make，they could not catch up with our steps，leading to the so-called invisible generation gap.

【However hard efforts they make，+主句...（不管他们怎么努力，......）；catch up with our steps（跟上我们的脚步）；.......，leading to...（......，从而导致......）；so-called（所谓的）；invisible（无形的）；generation gap（代沟）】

通过反面论证，进一步阐述理由

Thus，if we cannot slow down our pace，there will definitely be an awkward silence between parents and us，which is not rare now.

【slow down our pace（放慢脚步）；there will definitely be...（绝对产生......）；...，which+谓语...（......，这......）{非限定性定语从句来解释说明}】

通过上述论证，使用as a result得出结论：年轻人应该多与父母交流

As a result，young people should talk more with parents to share our feelings and to understand each other better.

【As a result，+句子...（因此，......）；talk more with sb to so sth（多与某人交流以做某事）；feelings（感受）】

 

结尾段

重申观点：经常与父母交流才能建立和谐的关系

Everyone wants loving parents who open and supportive.

【loving慈爱的adj.；open开放adj.；supportive支持adj.；be open and supportive开放和支持】

Only through frequent communication with them，can we establish such a harmonious relationship.

【Only through+名词...，+一般疑问句结构...（只要通过.......，......）；frequent communication with sb（频繁的沟通交流）{名词短语}；establish建立v.；such a...（这种......）；harmonious和谐的adj.】
