TOEFL essay: Parents are the best teachers #1 (permalink) Mon Jan 15, 2007 8:28 am   TOEFL essay: Parents are the best teachers
 

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Maybe some people say that parents do not have enough knowledge to teach their children what they need for life. However, as for me, I think that who else can be the best teachers if not parents because of a few reasons as follow.

First, parents teach children the most basic things, laying the foundation for them to grow well. It is parents but not anyone else who teach you how to speak, to walk as well as to behave in proper manners since your infancy. Furthermore, when your adolescence which is also known as “rebellious age” comes, parents help to positively direct your development way despite your possible negative response. These things seem very simple but they actually play an extreme important part in your life.

Second, children are subject to great influence from their parents. Meanwhile children only contact other teachers at school for short periods of time, they spend much more that with parents. Therefore, they are significantly affected by their parents. More or less, Life styles, habits, jobs and so on of parents are also transfered to their children. How parents live or work also comparably contributes to the formation of children’s personality because children often take their parents as examples to imitate. If parents’ behaviors are good, their kids will more probably become good people and vice versa. In short, it is impossible to deny the substantial influence of parents on children.

Last, nobody loves children so much as their parents do, therefore parents always wish the best things for them. At school, teachers may teach students just because that is their obligation and they are paid to do so. However, as to parents, they are kind to children for no reasons and if necessary, they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the happiness of their offspring. Parents’ love for children, thus, makes them teach their kids the best things.

All in all, as the most beloved people, parents completely have enough capacity to become the best teachers for children.
