birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.

Children need the direction from their parents. There is some wrong behavior in our society, such as dishonesty, violence and so on. Children have weak resistance in defending this negative influence. In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth. Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do. I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time with children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy work. 【写作内容】

Parents Should Be Responsible For Children's Behaviors

The passage mainly tells us that parents play an important part in children's growth, suggesting that no matter how busy parents are, they should spend more time staying with their children and give proper instructions.

We know it is important for children to develop good habits. So it is disappointing and sad to see some children around us showing bad habits. As far as I am concerned, parents should be responsible for helping children develop good habits. The reasons are as follows. To start with, it is commonly held that parents are the first teacher of their children. The children adopt many ways and thoughts of their parents as they are growing. What’s more, parents' duties include not only providing food and clothing, but also knowledge and common sense required to go on well in society.

Therefore, I hope parents can spend more time staying with their children, giving proper guidance to their children. Meanwhile, parents should mind their words and acts, setting a good example to their children.
