知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：這是一篇典型的提綱作文，根據(jù)題干中所給的已知信息，可以判斷

本文是一篇關(guān)于中國(guó)家庭教育問(wèn)題的議論文寫作，其主要寫作目的是通過(guò)分析人們

對(duì)現(xiàn)在中國(guó)家庭教育所將有的不同觀點(diǎn)總結(jié)并給予作者自己的意見(jiàn)。由于是議論文

的寫作，所以要求作者在書(shū)寫第三段時(shí)充分展開(kāi)自己的觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行議論，切忌過(guò)于中

庸，沒(méi)有明確的個(gè)人意見(jiàn)。在設(shè)計(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)上，可以根據(jù)題目中給出的提綱展開(kāi)即可：

1.第一段闡述人們對(duì)中國(guó)家庭教育的整體評(píng)價(jià)，即中國(guó)家庭教育是頗有爭(zhēng)議的問(wèn)

題。由于所有不同觀點(diǎn)的具體描述是在第二段進(jìn)行，故作者在此段只需言簡(jiǎn)意賅地

點(diǎn)題即可，無(wú)需過(guò)多的解釋。2.第二段列舉出人們對(duì)于現(xiàn)在中國(guó)教育的不同觀

點(diǎn)，需要注意的是:如果寫作者本人在第三段所給予的自己觀點(diǎn)支持第二段中所有

不同觀點(diǎn)的一種，那么作者在此段書(shū)寫這種支持觀點(diǎn)的敘述可以相對(duì)減少，增加一

些對(duì)于相反觀點(diǎn)的描述。3.第三段詳細(xì)闡明作者本人對(duì)中國(guó)家庭教育的觀點(diǎn)

(parentsinChinadoconsidertoomuchfortheirchildren'sfuture),需要注意的是：作

者本人的觀點(diǎn)要立意鮮明，切忌中庸。關(guān)鍵詞：controversial,passivestyle,impose
