問:What do you think is the best parents?
解答:
Children can’t choose their parents. In my case, I’m proud of my parents and I think I’m happy to be their child. What makes parents the best one depends on some reasons.
I’ll explain them one by one.
First, the best parents must have the ability to wait and see. To think of myself, it is natural that children can’t deal with the problem well at first. And in many cases, if they have enough time to try it again and again, they will surely make it. However, if their parents make them stop tackling the problem and help them, children will fail to accomplish their goals and lose their confidence. For example, when I was in my elementary school, my teacher gave me a lot of homework. I tried so hard to do it, but sometimes it was too difficult for me. I begged my mother for some help, but she refused it and said that she believed me that I could do it by myself. I didn’t understand what she said, and I felt she was not the best mother. Anyway, finally I did it and I was so proud of myself and felt I could do everything from now on. However, if my mother helped me at that time, I just finished my homework without getting confidence.
Second, the best parents will give many experience to their children, for example, sports, traveling, and working. This is because what children have learned in their childhood will give them many choices of the future plans. If a father plays baseball with his boy, it can happen that the boy wishes he will be a baseball player. For example, my parents gave me the great experience with dogs and now I became a veterinary student. So, it is very important that the parents make their children experience many things to make their future shine.
To sum up, the best parents should know children don’t belong to them. By thinking this way, they can wait and see how their children are doing, and do the best things in order to make their future soundful.
お礼
>まず,although は従属接続詞であり,when/if/because 的なつながりとなります。 although ~で「~だけれども」 いきなり,「にもかかわらず」ではない。 Although SV が order で切れて, 後半の主節が evidence から。 「~だけれども,~だ」 「親,兄弟,そして子を持たない者はおそらく出生の順番の影響をあまりに強調しすぎているところはあるものの,個人の体験することは家族内での地位の順序に関係していると証拠は示している」 恥ずかしながら、今までずっと「にもかかわらず」と訳していました。 すごく勉強になりました。感謝します。
