范文及解析

Introduction

The value of education for children's future growth and development hasrenderedit a top priority in this knowledge-oriented society. In these circumstances, it is challenging to arrive at a completeconsensuson whether or not children ought to schedule their own free-time activities.

解析

开年第一场纸笔考试，写作整体难度并不大，大作文是比较中规中矩的一个教育类旧话题，针对教育方式，对比“有组织的活动”与“自由活动”对孩子的影响；

- render v.使成为，使处于某种状态；

- consensus n.一致看法，共识；

译文参考：教育对孩子未来成长和发展的价值已经使其成为这个知识导向社会中的首要任务。在这种情况下，对于孩子是否应该安排自己的业余活动，很难达成完全的共识。

Body 1

Unstructured free childhood activities grant a child the chance to develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence. Children, if encouraged to make up their own decisions, are bound to learn tomull overthepros and consof a problem,bravethe challenges and bear the consequences of their actions. Meanwhile, organizing activities on their own can transform children from passive receivers to active explorers. A free choice allows children to reflect on their own preferences and passions, prompting their self awareness and developing a strong sense of identity.

解析

(1) 无组织的自由童年活动赋予孩子发展责任感、独立性、自信和能力的机会；

(2) 自己组织活动可以让孩子从被动接受者转变为积极探索者，促进他们的自我意识；

- mull over v.深思熟虑：仔细或反复思考某事物;

- pros and cons n.利弊;优点和缺点;

- brave v.勇敢面对;

译文参考：无组织的自由童年活动赋予孩子发展责任感、独立性、自信和能力的机会。如果鼓励孩子自己做决定，他们一定会学会思考问题的利弊，勇敢地面对挑战，并承担他们行为的后果。同时，自己组织活动可以让孩子从被动接受者转变为积极探索者。自由的选择可以让孩子反思自己的偏好和激情，促进他们的自我意识和发展强烈的认同感。

Body 2

However, children, who are still immature, are prone to be involved in thrilling butperilousactivities withoutfactoring in direconsequences. In other words, if the juvenile are givenunfetteredfreedom to do as they choose such asbinge drinkingbecause of curiosity, they may becomeembroiledin alcoholic problems. Conversely, with well-considered activities, the young can ensure physical health and nurturesought-afterpersonalities. For example, children are usually arranged to play basketball several times a week, which not only hones skills of interpersonal communication and cooperation with peers, but also builds up kids’ bodies. By this token, the young can nurture good qualities and guarantee health if parents arrange well-organized activities for the next generation's leisure time.

解析

(1) 不成熟的儿童容易参与刺激但危险的活动；

(2) 参加经过精心考虑的活动，孩子们可以确保身体健康，培养完善的性格特征；

- perilous adj.危险的，艰险的；

- factoring in v. 将…计入；将…考虑进去；

- dire adj.极其严重的，极可怕的；

- unfettered adj.无拘无束的；

- binge drinking 过度饮酒;

- embroiled adj.卷入的；纠缠不清的;

- sought-after adj.受欢迎的;

译文参考：然而，不成熟的儿童容易参与刺激但危险的活动，而不考虑可怕的后果。换句话说，如果青少年被给予无拘无束的自由，他们可以选择因为好奇而卷入酗酒问题。相反，经过精心考虑的活动，孩子们可以确保身体健康，培养完善的性格特征。例如，孩子们通常安排一周打几次篮球，这不仅磨练了人际沟通和与同龄人合作的技能，而且还锻炼了孩子的身体。因此，如果父母为下一代的休闲时间安排有组织的活动，年轻人可以培养良好的素质和保证健康。

Conclusion

My stance is that activities are indispensable in the course of children’s growth, but parents also should be aware where it is necessary to give room to kids. It would also beludicrousto give kids complete freedom and allow them do anything they want because they need to be taught their boundaries and are not yet old enough to handleintricatesituations.

解析

总结前文，明确作者观点；

- ludicrous adj.滑稽的；荒唐的;

- intricate adj.错综复杂的；难理解的;

译文参考：我的立场是，活动在孩子的成长过程中是不可或缺的，但父母也应该意识到，在什么地方给孩子空间是必要的，给孩子完全的自由，让他们做任何他们想做的事也是荒谬的，因为他们需要被教导他们的界限，而且还不够大，无法处理复杂的情况。
