2017届武进区高三英语期中试卷 Step Five: Complete the whole passage Some celebrities choose to donate almost all their money to the charity so that they can do their small part to contribute to the world and educate their children to be independent and support themselves as well. I am in complete agreement with those celebrities’ decision. A child without the ability to make a fortune to support himself and his family will ultimately consume all the money left for him some day and become a penniless vagrant. Parents, especially those with large fortune, should teach their children to abandon the concept of depending on their parents for living.
As far as I am concerned, it is of vital significance to cultivate children’s quality of independence. Parents shouldn’t give their children an impression that they can obtain everything without their own efforts. Instead, parents sometimes need to place obstacles to give them opportunities to learn to deal with difficult situations independently. Only by learning to tackle with various difficult situations by themselves on our life journey can they become mature individuals.
