托福满分作文-范文赏析：
The involvement of parents in their children’s education has been acknowledged to include not only the exact knowledge and values they would tell their children, but also the attention they would pay to their children’s educational process as well as the role they would play during the decision-making process. From my perspective, modern parents are more interested in their children’s educational aspects than parents are in the past.
It cannot be denied that parents in the modern society would bear much more responsibilities and burdens as well than those in the past, such as the financial pressure to support the family, due to the increasing desires of individuals and the economic reality in the present society. That means modern parents would spend plenty of time on earning money and have less time to be with their children or to actually teach them. However, the real situation regarding the child education is that parents in the present are more likely to emphasize the education of their children in various respects such as arranging a detailed study plan for their children.
Moreover, the emphasis children would receive about their education from their parents has increased significantly in the contemporary society because of the fact that individuals now have generally believed in the essential influence of the education on people especially the younger generation. That significance can be realized by the modern parents during their working and social experiences, and to a great extent it can be comprehended due to the reality that well-educated persons are in demanded in relatively every area of the current society. Therefore, in order to help their children to become successful and qualified, parents presently have been inclined to check or help with their children's school projects, to have them acquire multiple skills and to expect them to receive the best education at a higher level, which would not be the focus of the parents in the past who even did not care about the educational situation of their children and merely held the expectation that children could help to support the family in terms of finance as soon as possible.
Furthermore, it has been proposed that current parents have been more active during the process of making decisions related to their children's educational choices than in the past. That could suggest that to some extent, they would like to exert influence on the children and their educational affairs rather than be willing to let their children to have independent decision-making as they did in the past, which might be due to the possibility that present parents might place more emphasis on their children’s education and not want them to make any mistakes. However, this situation can probably be interpreted that the modern parents can are considered to be better educated people themselves and can assist their children to choose wisely and appropriately by offering the relevant information and reasonable advice in the course of educational matters, such as how to plan their time, what major they should study and whether they should have a gap year before entering university.
In conclusion, although modern parents might have less time with their children than those in the past during their educational period, they definitely can be regarded as more active in the participation in their children's educational activities in terms of the attention they pay and the positive effort they provide to help their children to make educational decisions due to the fact that they perceive the importance of acquiring education.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文几乎全部使用了长句。尤其是最后一个总结段，仅仅由一个句子组成。而且中间也不乏语法结构复杂、逻辑清晰的长句。这些句子充分体现出了作者高超的英文水平和思辨精神。而在用词方面，作者使用了多种正式的词语，让文章显得更加文采奕奕，让人难忘。
1. It cannot be denied that parents in the modern society would bear much more responsibilities and burdens as well than those in the past, such as the financial pressure to support the family, due to the increasing desires of individuals and the economic reality in the present society.it cannot be denied that表示不可否认的是。是常用的一种固定句式。Such as表示列举，是对于前面responsibilities and burdens的举例，可以当做插入语来对待。Due to的部分表示的主句这种现象的原因。
2. That could suggest that to some extent, they would like to exert influence on the children and their educational affairs rather than be willing to let their children to have independent decision-making as they did in the past, which might be due to the possibility that present parents might place more emphasis on their children’s education and not want them to make any mistakes. To some extent表示在某种程度上，可以当做插入语来对待。Rather than表示而不是，也就是更愿意做前面的事情而不是后面的事情的意思。后面的非限制性定语从句限制的是前面整句的内容。
3. In conclusion, although modern parents might have less time with their children than those in the past during their educational period, they definitely can be regarded as more active in the participation in their children's educational activities in terms of the attention they pay and the positive effort they provide to help their children to make educational decisions due to the fact that they perceive the importance of acquiring education. 本句其实是文章的总结段。是对文章的三个分析段落的总结。In terms of表示在什么方面。Due to the fact that表示原因。而且能够用they代替的parents都应该使用代替。
二、 逻辑结构
本文总体采取了总分总的结构。首段提出了总观点，现在的家长比以前更加注意孩子的教育问题。中间的三个分析的段落分析推进方法却十分新颖。第二段首先从现象入手，证明了现代的家长确实在实际上更加注重孩子的教育问题了。第三段从原则的角度讨论了家长更注重教育的原因，即现代社会中教育越来越重要了。第四段首先从另一个角度分析了这种现实的原因，之后进行转折，证明了自己的观点才是出现这种现象真正的原因。所以采用的是一种现象-原因-解释的方式进行推进的。最后进行总结，用一句话把整个分析过程的逻辑连起来了。
网温馨提醒：考生们拿到托福作文试题，审题后，先决定总体思路，然后列出两三个具体的分论点，每个论点找出一些例子来说明。这里要注意例子的选择，尽可能生活化、生动化、形象化，不要太死板，
