繼 “卡奴”、“車奴”、“房奴”之后, 現(xiàn)在很多父母又成為了“孩奴”：養(yǎng)育孩子耗費了他們絕大部分的精力和收入。出現(xiàn)這種現(xiàn)象的原因主要在于經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力，也有攀比心理在作怪。試分析這種現(xiàn)象。
注意：①可適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫；②詞數(shù)為120左右；③開頭已經(jīng)給出，不計入總詞數(shù)。
Parents’ being slaves to their children or “child’s slave” is nowadays a hot topic in China.

Answer 1

Parents’ Being Slaves to the Children
Parents’ being slaves to their children or “child’s slave” is nowadays a hot topic in China. It refers to many parents who have to spend a large part of their energy and income on children. These parents feel great strain under the burden of raising a child and struggle hard to make as much money as possible.
The cost of raising a child in China is becoming greater and greater. But economic pressure is not the only reason that makes those parents “child’s slave”. Parents’ competing with each other in trying to provide the best possible living conditions for their children is also to blame. Retailers know it so well that infant and child commodities become increasingly expensive.
If the phenomenon continues, these parents are sure to suffer from huge economic pressure, which may pose a threat to their marriages or physical and mental health.
As far as I’m concerned, parents shouldn’t put so much pressure on themselves.

試題分析：考查半開放性作文。作文給出了一個話題，本文討論的話題是現(xiàn)在很多父母成為了“孩奴”， 并有部分的文字提示。要求考生在保證內(nèi)容要點全部概括的基礎(chǔ)上可以充分發(fā)揮自己的想象，進(jìn)而用自己的語言來表達(dá)某種觀點或看法，增添了寫作的靈活性，同時能較好地考查考生的想象能力和英語語言表達(dá)能力。給考生自由發(fā)揮的余地較大。對于考生的綜合能力要求較高，要求考生有很強的謀篇布局的能力和組織要點的能力。在完成開放性作文時，首先要選擇自己熟悉的短語或者句型，在你的能力范圍之內(nèi)，選擇句式時要賦予變化，因為這樣你才可以更好的駕馭。同時也要選擇合適的連接詞，把各個要點組織成一個完整的整體，如besides, further, last but not least等。在發(fā)表個人觀點的時候，可以使用諺語來提升整個文章的檔次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
【亮點說明】范文中有一些常用的詞組：as much money as possible.盡可能多的錢，Be to blame應(yīng)受責(zé)備，，put so much pressure on 給…施加太多壓力，As far as I’m concerned據(jù)我所知,范文還使用了一些復(fù)雜的句型：It refers to many parents who have to spend a large part of their energy and income on children.這句話用了定語從句， But economic pressure is not the only reason that makes those parents “child’s slave”. 這句話也是定語從句，Parents’ competing with each other in trying to provide the best possible living conditions for their children is also to blame. 這句話用了動名詞做主語，Retailers know it so well that infant and child commodities become increasingly expensive.這句話用了it做形式賓語， If the phenomenon continues, these parents are sure to suffer from huge economic pressure, which may pose a threat to their marriages or physical and mental health. 這句話是非限制性定語從句。
