Do you agree or disagree? Parents are the best teachers. #1 (permalink) Wed Nov 11, 2009 12:24 pm   Do you agree or disagree? Parents are the best teachers.
 

When I have first opened my eyes, at first I have seen my parents. When I begun to understand the world my parents were with me, when I was despaired and disappointed or was happy they were with me, so during the most important times for us, our parents were with us.

However many people think that parents are not the best teachers, I think that parents are the best teachers of our life, besides the education which they gave us are playing the vital part of our life and has great influence on our future.

I consider parents as the best teachers because, when we were kids we have socialized mainly with them, and only they could punish us, and taught us things which we need in our life, for example when I was five years old, there was a boy who lived near our house. That boy has some problems with face and he had white hairs, once I have mocked that boy without understanding that he has not fault in it. When my father knew about it he punished me, and explained that I was wrong. I have understood everything and apologized and later we became very good friends with that boy.

I think that the most important lesson which we must study from our parents is how careful are they to their kids and parents. For example once my mother has very good chance to enhance her skills in her major in abroad, but I was ill and she has sacrificed everything and stayed with me. And from that I have understood that I must sacrifice everything for the people whom I love. And I think that no other teacher can give us such lessons.

Taking into consideration all of these examples we can confidently conclude that parents are the best teachers, moreover no other teacher can substitute them and give us as important lessons as our parents did.

Hi Dear Vahan
Sorry, I can just skim it in haste right now.
I had made some suggestion for Naiverock, you can read them:

please read it carefully:

[Oh…no…all your sentences are in present perfect tenses…you are writing about past…use past tenses.

I consider parents as the best teachers because, when we were kids we have socialized mainly with them, (we can still socialize with them…and since socialize means spending time with other people in a friendly way I don’t agree with using socialize with parents.)
and only they could punish us, (why is that? Support it? I can’t get your viewpoint as a reader)
That boy has(had) some problems with (his)face and he had white hairs,
I have understood (understood) everything and apologized and later (?)
we became very good friends with that boy.(you(more than 2) make friend with him?) You meant you became friends.
we must study (learn) from our parents is how careful are they to their kids and parents.(how kind they are to their parents and kids/ patient with someone )
For example once my mother has(had) very good chance to enhance her skills in her major in abroad(abroad= please don’t use in before abroad-I suppose I mentioned it before? No prepositions) but I was ill and she has sacrificed(you are writing about past ok? Use past tense )everything and stayed with me.
(sacrifice sth for sth/ sacrifice sth to do sth)
(Since I was sick my mother sacrificed her chance to take care of me.)

again problem with tenses...
Learn how to use tenses....!
Ignore my suggestions whenever you feel the need to.
Let me know if you have any suggestion.
Good luck with your writing my friend.
Thanks.
