Task：Some people believe that children should listen to what they parents tell them to do. Some other people believe that children should listen more to themselves.Discuss two views and give your opinion.

Sample answer：

Some people hold the opinion that children should obey parents’ order while others believe children should follow their own hearts when making decisions. In my perspective, young people will benefit more when they make independent decisions.

Behaving according to parents’ words does bring some convenience. This is based on the fact that parents have already gone through multiple challenging tasks and they accumulate experience in this process. So if children take advice from their parents, there will be more chances to solve problems promptly and perfectly. In the short term, it seems both convenient and productive. However, the parenting should never be so near-sighted.

The truth is that only through making decisions by oneself, can someone develop into well-adjusted individual, especially for young people. This is to say, in the process of making decisions by oneself, one can develop a range of skills, such as analytical skills and critical thinking skills, all of which will increase their independence and at the same time give them a sense of achievement. By contrast, if some authoritarian parents always ask children to follow their order, it will reduce children’s decision-making ability and in future when children encounter some tough tasks, they will feel confused and flustered.

In conclusion, although children may encounter some drawbacks if they make decisions independently, it will be beneficial for them in the long term.
