Picture 2
【正确答案】Picture 1
Candidate A:
There is a young man and his old father in the picture. The young man is leaving without any hesitation while his old father is sitting on his mean bed grieving. The picture indicates the young man do not want to take care of his old father. In recent years, many stories about young people abandoning their old parents have been reported. I think the most important reason is that some young people are too selfish. Many of them are raised as only child in their family. At that time, China began to implement the family planning policy. Many parents can only have one child. In the daily life, parents put the child at the first place in every aspect, which gradually cultivate thinking mode of self-centered. They do not take others into consideration and only care their own interests. As the parents growing older, they are not able to provide help for the child, but become a "burden". Many selfish "children" prefer an easy life to the responsibilities of supporting the old parents.

Picture 2
Candidate B:
There is a student working hard on learning English. There are many English books on his desk. Learning English has been a popular trend in recent years. Many parents pay much money for their children for extra English class on weekends. With the development of globalization, the world has become a global village. In order to adapt to this situation, Chinese education sectors enhance the education of foreign language. "English fever" is not a bad thing, but there is no need for everyone to learn English. Now, almost all primary schools have opened English courses, even many kindergartens offer English classes for 3 years old children. I think that the fundamental purpose of primary education is to guide the healthy and free development of children's personality. Schools should not be too focused on one course. In addition, learning English to catch up with the international development is very important, but for us Chinese, we should strengthen the study of traditional Chinese culture.
