 支持这样的做法的理由：older teenage children还不够成熟(immature)家庭版托福认可度家庭版托福认可度：托福独立口语题库答题解析：家庭，考虑不够周全(inconsiderate)家庭版托福认可度，尤其涉及到经济相关的决定时，缺乏独立承担能力(incapable of being independent)。  然而，“如何保证parents或者adult relatives所作的决定就是正确的”也是个问题。

另外，总是把孩子排除在决定权之外，是否会使孩子变得“没能力做出任何决定”?the ability to make sound decision是人生道路上很重要的能力之一。

61、同意父母和家属应当为15-18岁的孩子做重要的决定

(1)15-18岁的孩子对未来不了解，所以父母必须要为他们做重要的决定。上大学和不上大学

(2)15-18岁的人没有足够资金来做决定。父母需要为他们出钱，所以父母要做这个决定。比如说上私立或者公立学校 (3)父母对于15-18岁的孩子来说对他们更了解。所以他们做的决定是更正确。

3. ■179 In your opinion, what are some of the qualities of a good parent? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important. ★ [加拿大2006.8.12]

179 好的父母的标准是： (1)爱护孩子 (2)在孩子处于困难的时候给予他帮助 (3)诚实，正直

In my point of view, good parent should have several crucial characters. First and the foremost, they have responsibility. They consider it is their responsible to look after the kids and lead them to the right way. They care everything about the kids. Secondly, they must be very patient, and have good temper. They know how to control themselves when they are angry, and teach the kids patiently. It is very important because their temple and attitude to their kids will influence them a lot in the rest of life. At last, they should understand the difference between two generations. That means they can tolerate the kids when they do something new and the parents should allow for this.

I think it‟s very important for a parent to be honest, supportive and understanding. First, honesty is a crucial character for a good parent because being honest will set a good example for the children. When I was little, I once skipped classes to play and cheated my parents when I got home. My father scolded me and told me stories about honesty for 3 hours, and I believe I have learned a lot from him. Also, being supportive is important for a parent too. Even though parents might not always be able to help the children academically or financially, still, they may always support their children mentally. Last but certainly not the least, understanding. As known to all, there is a so-called generation gap which makes it difficult for the effective communication between parents and children. But I believe with more understanding of the younger generation‟s life style, parents will gain more respect from the children, and the family atmosphere will be filled with happiness and joy.

4. ■114 Some people think that the family is the most important influence on young adults. Other people think that friends are the most important influence on young adults. Which view do you agree with? Use examples to support your position.

(3)家庭的经济情况也影响着年轻的成年人的发展。有些家庭穷，孩子无法继续念书

If there is, ever, a person who has influenced me most, it must be my mother. She is talented, kindly and most of all, she is great. She went to harvard in her youth. After she graduated, she got an opportunity of working for UN. During this period, she went to South Africa and became to realize the fact that there were so many children there lost opportunity of going to school because of poverty. When she came back, she made up her mind that she would donate some money each year from then on to help build up a school. She have set a good example for me and I want to be the person like me mother.
