In some countries，the role of a mother differs in some ways from the role of a father. Why do you think these differences exist? How might parental roles develop in the future? 在一些国家，父母在教育孩子中扮演的角色，和很多方面，是不同的，为何存在这种差异，在未来父母的角色会有哪些变化?
【薛鹏点评】
新题出现，恒热教育，谈及父母对于孩子成长中影响差异的原因，展望父母在孩子未来成长中作用的不同，不属分析问题解决问题话题，考察头脑风暴，写作有一定难度。
小鹏哥预测题目中的寒门贵子还是将门虎子，是否所有的父母都应该学习育儿课程，和本场考试都有交集。
【思路拓展】
男性比较理性和阳刚，女性比较感性和温柔，因此，他们对于孩子成长的影响自然不同，一般而言，孩子会从爸爸身上学到坚毅和勇敢，会从妈妈身上学会善良和孝道。骨血相连，血浓于水，无论父母，对于孩子的教育和引导都是积极的善意的。爸爸努力赚钱，是为孩子赢一个成长环境，妈妈努力育儿，是让孩子明辨是非、行为规范。
教育这个词的本源是说将一个人从一种蒙昧的无知的状态中引导出来，教育应该涉及道德教育、性格培养、学术教育等。小鹏哥已为人父，我以教会笑笑坚强、独立、自信为己任。小石头已为人母，她以教会笑笑善良、孝心、守则为己任。
教育不能颠覆：道德教育和性格培养应该优先于学术成长，先重品质和品行，后重成绩和选择。如果可以畅想未来，父爱如山，为人父，应该树立标杆，让孩子学会志存高远，不懈奋斗。母爱如水，为人母，应该树立标杆，让孩子学会海纳百川，清澈纯净。

【二段】父母对于孩子影响差异的原因展开
Due to the gender differences，parental roles vary greatly in a child’s growth. Males tend to more rational and tenacious, while females tend to be more tender and sensible, in this sense, a child can benefit differently from the parent. As a father, I always try my utmost to set a fine learning example for my child, what my kid can acquire from me is to be big at heart, cherish great ambition and rely on honest hard work to strike for those cherish-but-failed dreams. By contrast, seen from the role my wife plays, it is her unshakable obligation to guide our child to unite peers, respect the old, make a clear distinction between right and wrong. In addition，the distinct workload and pressure might account for the difference. Fathers, in most cases, have to stand out in career, hence, they usually allocate less to educating children, by contrast, mothers generally give priority to their families, thus, they will spend more time accompanying their children.
