摘要：接下來(lái)為大家?guī)?lái)家庭生活類(lèi)話(huà)題雅思大作文（討論觀點(diǎn)題型）的一篇范文：父母是否給跟孩子們講故事。我們一起來(lái)看解析和范文！

Task：Some people think parents should read or tell stories to children, while others think parents need not do that, as children can read books, watch TV or movies by themselves. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

思路解析：

1. 給孩子講故事好處多多。第一，這能鞏固家庭紐帶。舉例，在講故事的過(guò)程中，父母和孩子都會(huì)完全把注意力放到對(duì)方身上，進(jìn)行深度的感情交流，這培養(yǎng)了他們之間的信任和相互關(guān)愛(ài)。

2. 第二，在聽(tīng)故事的過(guò)程中，孩子們的記憶力，語(yǔ)言能力，詞匯量，以及把抽象信息視覺(jué)化的思維都會(huì)得到鍛煉和提升，這對(duì)于他們今后的學(xué)術(shù)教育十分有用，比如說(shuō)他們能在課堂上及時(shí)抓住老師講課的要點(diǎn)。

3. 當(dāng)然，孩子自由閱讀或是觀看電視也是必要的。舉例，在獨(dú)立閱讀的過(guò)程中，他們需要進(jìn)行獨(dú)立的思考和判斷，這讓他們變得思維成熟，而且自由閱讀各個(gè)領(lǐng)域的書(shū)籍也是一個(gè)實(shí)現(xiàn)自我認(rèn)知的過(guò)程，讓他們找到自己擅長(zhǎng)的，感興趣的專(zhuān)業(yè)方向。

參考范文：

It has been rightly said that ‘There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.’ The question of debate is whether parents should read or tell stories to children or whether children should come to know about stories themselves by reading books or by watching TV or movies. In this essay I intend to discuss both views followed by my opinion.

There are many benefits of reading bedtime stories to children. First of all, it encourages family bonding. In this day and age of hectic lives and busy schedules, reading together is a simple and enjoyable way for parents to take time out and focus on the family. Children also feel wanted and loved. What is more, it moulds children into becoming readers, and this significantly increases the child’s potential for academic success as well as lifelong success in general. It also helps children master language development as by listening to stories, children learn pronunciation and vocabulary. It also builds listening skills, increases a child’s attention span, and develops the ability to concentrate. It develops children’s ability to express themselves more confidently, easily, and clearly in spoken and written terms. It develops and fosters a child’s natural curiosity.

Furthermore, it develops creativity and a child’s ability to use his own imagination. It expands children’s horizons by exposing them to new situations, and teaches them appropriate behavior. Reading children’s stories to children provides the best opportunities for true teaching moments as most of these stories have morals. Reading picture books develops a young child’s appreciation for the arts through exposure to many different styles of art and illustrations.

On the other hand, some opine that children should themselves read stories from books or watch them on TV and in movies. When reading books and news on TV by themselves rather than by depending on parents, children have the freedom of making decisions and judgments, thus sharpening the ability of independent thinking. What is more, it is mainly freely reading books, magazines and TV programs in a diversity of subjects, from science to arts to sports that builds up the self-discovery for children, for example, figuring out what subjects and future careers might be suitable for their potentials, talents and interests.

This would be much easier for the parents who are too busy nowadays, but then all the above benefits would not ensue. What is more, parents can start telling stories to children much before children can themselves read. Watching TV does not help the child to develop imagination and this may be detrimental in the long run. Moreover, it would be difficult to monitor what children are actually learning.

To sum up, I believe that, it is always better for the parents as well as the children, if parents read aloud to their children. This would give them quality time together and loads of other benefits which I have discussed above. I pen off with a famous quote of Robert Mackee “Stories are the creative conversion of life itself into a more powerful, clearer, more meaningful experience. They are the currency of human contact.”
