【正确答案】
【答案解析】[参考范文]
As is vividly portrayed in the drawing above, the grandfather is so tired as to sleep, for he has been doing all his grandson"s homework. And we can find that the undone homework is still piled up before this excessively overworked old man. The drawing exposes a common phenomenon in our society. How thought-provoking it is!
The implied meaning of the drawing is worth discussing. To begin with, the youngster generation are not working hard so much as older generation since they are not willing to do all the jobs by themselves. Take boring homework as example. Very often it is found that all these tasks are left to parents and grandparents. Is it unilateral responsibility for the youngster generation? I think it"s partly because the old generation should undertake the responsibility for this phenomenon. The older generation love their youngsters too dearly that they fear the youngster generation may bear a little suffering; so the old, if possible, do everything for the young. The result is that the old generation are excessively overworked while the youngster generation are becoming useless without fundamental life skills.
To conclude, as solid youngsters, in my view, we can not go farther and fly higher if we excessively depend on the old generation. And the older generation should encourage youngsters to make their own careers. As long as much trained in difficulties and challenges, we Chinese youths will soon be strong players in this competitive globe.
