As is graphically depicted in the cartoon, a young girl is talking with her
mother. She says ironically, “Good news mom! I was accepted to the college of
your choice!” Then, her mother smiles and seems content with this result.
Apparently, the cartoon aims to reveal the fact that a majority of modern
parents play an increasingly negative role in their children’s growth.

There are several possible reasons accountable for this phenomenon(中心句). To
begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents
oftentimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on
him or her(原因一). Moreover, numerous parents intend to realize their unfulfilled
dreams by letting their children learn what they failed to learn and apply for
the college by which they failed to be accepted, because they have become richer
and they believe that they have the power to make what they wanted and want come
true now(原因二). For instance, my uncle used to be a poor man and his dream that
one day he would become a violinist was broken because of lack of money. But he
made a fortune by selling coals, and then forced his son, my younger brother to
practice playing violin. My brother was a huge fan of sports, but now he has to
play violin everyday unwillingly and ofter quarrels with their
parents(举例:原来-然后-结局).
To sum up, it is unreasonable for parents to control their children’s
life(总结句). In order to help them grow happily and healthily, parents are
supposed to communicate with their kids about what they are really interested
in(建议一,目的句型). Meanwhile, it is about time that parents let their kids make their
own choices(建议二,“是时候”句型). Only in these ways will children grow in a
psychologically happy environment and realize their own dreams.
