Once children start school, teachers have more influence on their intellectual and social development than parents do. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 孩子们上学后，在学习能力和社交能力的发展方面，老师比父母的影响更大，你在多大程度上同意这个观点?(2008年9月6日雅思题目)
【薛鹏点评】语意升格
【头脑风暴导言】
父母是孩子们的启蒙教师，孩子们是父母们的一面镜子。因为是骨血，所以，父母们本能之爱在孩子们的知识拓展和社交技能方面影响颇深。然而，一旦幼童开始步入课堂，尤其是开始接受中小学教育之后，教育者在他们的学业、社交、人生观等方面的影响也许更加显著。
【作家立场】比之父母，老师对于孩子的智力开发和社交培养影响更加深刻，但是，我们不能忽视父母们在孩子们成长中的作用。
【思路拓展】
① 为何老师对于孩子们的智力开发和社交技能的培养影响深刻：
1. 确实，老师有助于孩子们的智力开发及学业的优异，因为老师们通常精通专业知识，了解教育常识，可以总结学科精华，因此，老师们的教育更加高效。同时，一个学生大部分时间是呆在学校里，因此，老师的教育会对学生的学业有潜移默化的影响。
2. 另外，老师在培养孩子的社交技能方面也可以发挥重要的作用，教育孩子们如何以正确的方式和周围的同学交往及交流，鼓励孩子们扩大交友圈，是老师们的职责所在。
②为何父母对于孩子们的智力开发和社交技能的培养亦有影响：
1. 父母也可以影响孩子们的智力成长，有些父母本身就是优秀的教师，其专业优势可以在一定特定的领域让孩子成长更快。
2. 父母也可以影响孩子们的社交技能。常言道：父母是最好的老师，父母是孩子们的第一个老师，因此是孩子们效仿的对象，父母的言行举止对于孩子如何与人交往是起到了潜移默化的影响。同时，因为父母本能地爱孩子，所以会有意识地教育孩子行为处事。在处理人际关系方面，多数父母会教育孩子们尊敬长辈，团结同龄人等。因此，不能忽视父母对于孩子成长的影响。
【总结立场】
我认为，父母和老师对于孩子的发展都有深远的影响。比之父母，老师对于孩子的智力和社交能力的培养具有更加深刻的影响，尤其是当孩子们开始接受中小学教育之后。

【范文赏析】
【首段】 背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场
Numerous people will exert a profound impact on one’s character-training，mental growth and future life. Parents are our initial teachers, yet, educators will also be playing an increasingly crucial role in one’s academic study and social life. An opinion springs up that teachers impose a far more significant influence on one’s study and social development compared with parents. Basically, I side with the standpoint，however，the impact of parents can never be ignored.
【解析】
1. Parents are our initial teachers 父母是我们最初的老师。
2. An opinion springs up that …… 有人认为……
3. impose a far more significant influence on …… 有更加深远的影响
【二段】 支持原题观点
Granted, some convincing arguments could be easily explored to justify that teachers exert a noticeable effect on those who are in the formative years in terms of social skills and intelligence development. For a start, as for students, since the majority of their time is spent in the classroom, thereby, teachers will exert a subtle influence on their cultivation of study habits or learning methods. Further，teachers usually excel in professional knowledge，summarize the core of knowledge and have deeper insight into the common sense of education，thus，they can help students excel academically
Last, it is the obligation of educators to guide students how to communicate and associate with peers in a proper way. More precisely, one’s commutation skills could be fostered and one’s suitable social ability could be developed with the assistance and guidance of teachers.
【解析】
1. exert a noticeable effect on…… v对于……有显著的影响
2. those who are in the formative years n 成长中的年轻人

4. help students excel academically v帮助学生们精通学业
5. it is the obligation of educators to …… v 做……是教育者职责所在
【二段】 让步原题观点的局限性
Nonetheless，it is rather groundless simply believe that parents have no roles to play in children’s sociability and academic performance. First，parents, in most cases, know better about their children and are instinctively willing to devote their love to the development of their children. In this sense, some talented or knowledgeable parents could successfully help children achieve more in academic study. Also， almost every parent will educate their child to respect the old and unite the peers. In light of this statement，parents impose a marked effect on their children’s social development.
【解析】
1. Nonetheless，it is rather groundless simply believe that …… 然而，简单认为……是相当肤浅的
2. in light of this statement v基于这样的说法
3. impose a marked effect on …… v对于……施加显著的影响
【尾段】 再次亮明观点
In a nutshell，my view is that under no circumstances can we ignore the indispensable roles parents could play in their children’s development. Virtually, both teachers and educators exert profound influence on one’s intelligence and social kills. However, once schooling starts, teachers will have more influence.
【解析】
However, once schooling starts, teachers will have more influence. 一旦开始接受中小学教育，老师的影响更加显著。
