1、淘寶店：智慧無憂加油站2017 年 12 月大學英語四級考試真題答案與詳解（第 1 套）Part IWriting審題思路： 父母與子女的關系是一個老生常談的話題，學生自己也會非常有感觸、有話說。因此，關鍵是如何組織語言， 并把重點落腳到“how”上面。如果采用我們一貫熟悉的“三點式”來講怎么做，當然無可厚非。不過，也可以換 一種思路，重點從子女如何做下筆，并分析原因，使文章顯得有理有據(jù)。考場上時間緊張，考生思維也易受局限， 不管從哪個角度寫，一定要先列好提綱，理順思路。 高分范文： Communication Is the Best Gift for ParentsThe relations

2、hip between parents and children is an eternal and universal topic for mankind. Our relationship with parents might be different at different ages.

Only through frequent communication with them, can we establish such a harmonious relationship.全文翻譯： 交流是給父母的最好的禮物 對人類而言

5、，父母與子女的關系是一個永恒而又普通的話題。我們與父母的關系可能在不同的年齡階段有所不 同。對二十幾歲的年輕人來說，我認為與父母的關系更多取決于孩子怎么做。 我之所以這樣說是因為隨著我們長大，曾經(jīng)被我們視為偶像的父母漸漸老去，甚至落伍。不管他們怎么努力都 無法追趕上我們的腳步，從而導致所謂的無形的代溝。因此，如果我們不能放慢自己的腳步，那我們與父母之間絕 對會產(chǎn)生尷尬的沉默，現(xiàn)在這種現(xiàn)象并不罕見。所以，年輕人應該多與父母交流，以分享我們的感受和更好地相互 理解。 每個人都想擁有慈愛、開放、支持我們的父母。只有通過頻繁的溝通交流，我們才能與父母建立起這種和諧的 關系。 Part IIListen
