【答案解析】Sample Writing
As is shown in the picture above, at an Apple store, a girl made an unjustifiable and expensive demanding to her mother, insisting on buying an iPhone 4s, an iPad 3, and a Macbook, which cost over 20,000 yuan. The girl cried to her mother, "If you don"t buy me these, just go ahead and let me lose face in college!" Her mother was in tears because she couldn"t afford them.
Electronic products have become a must for college students in recent years. Many Chinese parents have to spare no expense to make sure their kids won"t "lose face" in college by purchasing high-tech gadgets. However, most Chinese students buy such products not for study but for entertainment. Such spending has highlighted the wealth gap that exists among college students.
Apparently, this is an unhealthy social trend to which we should not close our eyes. First of all, students should be clear that they can only establish their own reputation with their own study achievements. Secondly, parents should not spoil their kids by meeting all their materialistic wants without limits. They should encourage their kids to concentrate on their self-developments and self-achievements. Lastly, educators should also be responsible for the cultivation of students" correct values and sound personality.
