问答题
1. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the independence of young people in modern society. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
【正确答案】[范文]
In the picture, the son asks his father to save money not only for his education but also for his retirement. Despite a bit of exaggeration, the picture is a vivid description of a widespread phenomenon that nowadays many young people tend to rely on their parents for their life and career, particularly for the financial support. However, I strongly suggest that young people stand on their own two feet.
Self-reliance is a basic living skill for a person to survive. Although it seems to be reasonable to depend on parents in such an intensely competitive society, young people cannot count on their parents forever. The sooner they start to support themselves, the more social experience they can gain, and the greater success they will achieve. Besides, just as the old saying goes, giving is much better than receiving. It is time for young people to shoulder their own responsibilities to support their families and to return their parents' love.
In summary, young people should learn to do everything by themselves rather than count on their parents. The only way to success is to hold future in one's own hands.
