Are parents these days stricter than those in the past?
這是一個part3的題目,來自本季children behave badly in public那個話題。首先我個人認為,現在的家長和20年前的家長相比,差別是比較明顯的。並且我認為現在的家長不會更嚴格,而是更加寬容。然後我會展開描述:過去家長嚴格+原因+細節,然後轉到現在家長寬容+原因+細節。(有些烤鴨們可能會os:20年前我都還沒出生呢。沒有關係,past可以用你出生之前的時間來描述的。)大致結構如下:
Direct Answer:給出否定立場,表明自己立場:更加寬容(說明和20年前相比)
Past:嚴格
Reason:他們認為孩子只有被discipline了,才能優秀
Details:當孩子犯錯,會懲罰甚至體罰
Now:寬容
Reason:家長忙,沒時間陪孩子,對孩子寬容會讓家長less guilty
Details: 當孩子犯錯的時候,儘管家長說會給禁令,但是實際並未遵守

Are parents these days stricter than those in the past?I don’t think so. Instead, I reckon that current parents are less strict, compared with parents 20 years ago.
In that era, it was a common view among parents that children couldn’t fulfil remarkable achievements unless they were strictly disciplined. Thus, when children made mistakes, parents would punish them harshly and corporally, such as spanking.
Whereas modern parents are more permissive in the time spent together, which will make them feel less guilty about their inadequate parenting caused by busy work. As a result, when children misbehave, although parents will claim that they do something like ground their children, they don't actually take it seriously.
希望跟各位分享這點心得之後,大家在回答「今昔對比題」 的時候可以更加胸有成竹噢。
