为了提高
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents or other adult relatives should make important decisions for their older (15 to 18 year-old) teenaged children. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
No one understands me as the way my parents do. No one wants the best for me and does the most for me as my parents. Because of their experience and wisdom, I should allow my parents to make important decisions for me. I think all older teenagers, even those nearing adulthood, should follow their parents’ suggestions regarding decisions that concern their education, social life, and future careers.

My parents have never ceased to choose the best schools for me and facilitated my attendance. In addition, they have encouraged me to study with professionals through special prep classes in order to make sure that I am well prepared for exams. They have provided tutors for me in order to make sure that I understand every subject thoroughly. When it comes to choosing a university, I will trust my parents wholeheartedly to make that decision. Not only do they know what they can afford, but will find the best institution which will give me a good education.

本段是一个总分的结构。开头提出论点，即爸妈总是为自己选择最好的学校并且严格监督自己的课业。后面对论点进行了进一步展开，具体地举了两个事例，第一个是爸妈为了让自己有好的考试成绩，会鼓励我们参加一些课外的培训课程；第二个是在选择大学的时候，他们会双向衡量自己的经济能力和孩子的学习能力，细心考量做出最优的选择。 |

本段是文章第二段，提出了第一个支持论点。 |
When I was young, my parents would invite other children over to play with me. Over the years, I have become quite good friends with these children. They are almost my family at this point. We celebrate holidays together and we sometimes go on trips together, such as to the mountains in the summer. My parents are always on guard for my safety and want me to have good influences in my life; they do not want me to fall into the wrong crowd of people. They do not want me to fall in love recklessly, with someone they know will cause problems in the future. Even though I am young and I might not understand, when I listen to their words, I understand; and most of all, I want to make them happy.

本段是文章第三段，提出了正文的第二个支持论点。 |
My father owns a successful business and my mother is a prominent politician. My parents are well connected people and they have many friends and colleagues eager to work with me when I finish school. This ensures security and happiness for both my parents and me. If all children listen to their parents’ advice and their wishes, children and parents would both be happier. Parents only want the best for their children, and parents have the knowledge to make good choices.

满分要素剖析：
一、 语言表达
本文语言和句式都比较简单易懂，传达力稍强而优美性略有不足。但是文中也不乏一些精彩的动词和副词词汇，长句虽少但也运用得很灵活，同时作者将一些简单句句式重复形成排比，在音韵上弥补了少长难句的缺陷。
1. When it comes to choosing a university, I will trust my parents wholeheartedly to make that decision. 这里的when it comes to…句式增加了句式和连接词的丰富性，不必重复使用when从句。Wholeheartedly的使用强调作者对于父母的信任度，是对自己论点的强力支撑，同时这也是一个比较高级的词汇。
2. Not only do they know what they can afford, but will find the best institution which will give me a good education. 这句话里使用了Not only, but (also)…句式，not only后接倒装句，institution后面夹带which的定语从句，这两个句式的结合将一个普通的表达打造成一个多功能的长难句：不仅…而且…的递进语气和父母选择具有合理性的语义一应俱全。
3. In addition, they have encouraged me to study with professionals through special prep classes in order to make sure that I am well prepared for exams. They have provided tutors for me in order to make sure that I understand every subject thoroughly.首先，第一句in order to从句表达目的，同时还包含了make sure从句，in addition则负责作上下文衔接。接下来第二句也是用了in order to make sure that句式，因为两个句子都是从句夹从句的长句，所以排比起来略显重复和繁杂，其实可以尝试换个不同的表达方法，发挥轻量的优势。Well-prepared和thoroughly也都是比较好的词汇。
4. No one understands me as the way my parents do. No one wants the best for me and does the most for me as my parents. 这是两个简单句的同样句式形成排比，连续用两个否定句来肯定父母对孩子的爱和理解是任何人都不能超越的，从而为接下来作者给出自己的立场做高调而强烈的铺垫。这两个句子同时还运用as接倒装，短句也可以看起来很高级。
二、 逻辑结构
本文采用的是正面论证的方式，在交待立场之后，用三段展开论述，从学业，交友和工作三个方面举例说明了父母帮助自己做出了正确的选择，并在每个段落里都将自己的例子上升到普遍层面，说明父母在每一个选择之前都有合理的考虑。文章几乎是一边倒地强力支持自己的立场，而且通篇举自己的例子来得出结论，因此稍显单薄，说服力弱的同时还有一种自说自话的感觉。
在结构方面，文章整体是总分总的结构，并且每一段也是以分总的形式展开论述的，结构整齐有条理。
