TOEFL essay topic: Parents are the best teacher

[Alex Anna]

Do you know what the word “teacher” means ? Based on the Cambridge advanced learner’s dictionary, teacher is the one whose job is to teach in a school or college. In my point of view, that definition is only one side of this word. A teacher can be anyone who gave you knowledge, experience and good advices. Therefore, if you wonder who is our best teacher, I will have no hesitation to say those are our parents who taught us the first lessons and many things in our life in the best way.

First of all, parents are the best teacher who taught us the first lessons when we were children. What are the first lessons? Those are the lesson how to crawl, how to stand, how to speak or how to walk which are the most important lessons in our whole life. Therefore, you have to agree that , with their love and caring, no one in the world can be the best teacher as our parents. When you were only a child, the ones who were always by your side, talked to you with all the sweatest words and the ones who were so happy to burst into tear when you spoke the first word “papa” or “mama” , they are your parents. Day by day, your parents were the leaders and also the instructors for your fist steps into the outside world. Therefore, you have to agree that , with their love and caring, no one in the world can be the best teacher for all the first lessons as our parents.

Furthermore, our parents are also the best teacher to teach us many things in our life with the most efficient way. At school or university, we were given many knowledge in many subjects, such as maths, literature, geology or even ethics lessons which taught you what you should do and what you mustn’t do. But all of these were only what you heard in theories. As a research pointed out, people remember 90% of what they do, 75% of what they see and 20% of what they hear. Therefore, a child will be easy to learn about the respect the old if he see his parents always express their admiration to his grandmother or even an old woman in the street. Also, a moral lesson can’t teach him about kindness better than his own parents who always helped others when they were in trouble. In an automatic way, parents become the teachers who we can learn about many things in life with the best reality, their actions become the model for all of us to follow.

In general, the teachers in school or university give us knowledge in many fields. But the best teacher that we have are our parents who taught you from the first lesson when you are child to many things in your life with all their love and caring. You should be set great store by all of those lessons which will be with you in your whole life.
