【正确答案】Sample Writing In the drawing, a humpbacked old mother is staggering along to his son, holding a walking stick in her hands. She asks her son 'Shall we have a talk?' The son, sitting in front of a computer whose screen shows 'online chatting room', responds impatiently 'Don't you see I am busy now?' It is obvious that this must have hurt his mother greatly. The drawing shows that nowadays a kid prefers chatting online to talking with his or her mother partly because of the appeal of modern technology and partly of the fatal lack of virtue education while the old pitiful mother represents a good many doting parents, who fail to seek for new ways to satisfy their own needs of communication because of immersing themselves in the old traditions. The inherent meanings should be taken seriously. In my perspective, children should understand that keeping daily communication and close relationship with their parents are vital to their growing and, given what their parents have done for their life, face-to-face communication with their parents is, at least, what they ought to do in return for their love.
