大学英语考试复习资料大学四级模拟1101大学英语考试复习资料大学四级模拟1101大学四级模拟1101Part Writing问题:1. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On the Education of Children. You should write at least 180 words following the outline given below: 1. Some parents believe corporal punishment makes a perfect child. 2. Other parents spoil their children. 3. What is the proper method of educating children according to you? 答案:On the Education of Children How to bring up their children has long been a great concern for most parents. However, some parents take to corporal punishment whenever their children do something wrong. As a result, their children become timid or even turn hostile to their parents. On the other hand, some parents spoil their children so much that the children become the so-called little emperors and empresses because of the one-child policy. So it is questionable whether the spoiled children can take their social responsibility when they grow up. In my opinion both corporal punishment and spoiling are not the right way to raise a child. Actually, raising a child involves much care and knowledge. Parents should know their childrens needs so as to provide what is necessary for their physical and mental development. Only by doing so can children and their parents fulfill their social tasks in the long run. Part Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear three news reports.
