【正确答案】： Independence Is Indispensable Nowadays a lot of freshmen are escorted by their families to the university on the enrollment day. There is a growing concern over such a phenomenon. People are wondering whether the parents have done too much for their children.Is university a new page for their independence acquisition? As we know, reasons for the phenomenon are not very complicated.Many students are the only child in their family. They are the apple of their parents' eyes or even their grandparents', so they are free of any house work or menial labor. In this case, moral education is no more than some bookish thing. Students are largely dependent on their parents and teachers. Some parents take care of almost everything concerned with their children, including study, work, marriage and so on, even after they have become university students who should be cultivated a lot in independence. Some parents believe that this is love. However, for the future of the next generation, more efforts should be made by parents to help their children to be independent. The fundamental one is to cultivate the awareness, namely, the importance and necessity of being independent, which is supposed to begin from university or even childhood. Children should be taught that no one can be stronger and more helpful than themselves in this world. To educate the students to be independent, the most effective way is to let them experience on their own. Therefore,they are better to be given the opportunity to get some train on campus, which can be regarded as part of the moral education. The quality of independence is so indispensable for the students that parents had better act as a tutor, not a dictator. And only with parents’ trust, can the young generation accumulate confidence step by step.
【题目解析】：本题未规定明确题目。根据作文要求，其体裁应该是说明文。考察考生对于英语说明文特点的掌握。英语说明文是以说明为主要表达方式，以客观事物的特点和性质，阐明事物发生和发展过程等为主要表达内容给读者以知识的一种文体。简单总结一下写作工程中需要做到以下几点：1. 开宗明义说明文不同于一般的文学作品，它不需要环境、心境的描写，不需要引人入胜的气氛渲染。说明文的第一个句子就可以直奔主题。2. 条理清晰要把说明文写得条理分明，必须掌握说明的顺序。常用的说明顺序有：① 时间顺序，即按事物的发生、发展的先后顺序进行说明。② 空间顺序，即按事物空间位置的顺序，由上至下，由近及远或由里至外地进行说明。③ 逻辑顺序，即按人们认识事物的规律进行说明，如由概括到具体、由整体到部分、由现象到本质、由表及里、由原因到结果、由主要到次要、由特点到用途等。“Water”一文使用的是逻辑顺序。作者按照人们认识水的规律，由概念到具体逐步加以说明：水十分重要→ 没有水就没有生命→ 水无处不在→ 水的形态。3. 简洁生动说明文的目的是向读者介绍他们不了解、不熟悉的人物、事理等，因此说明文的语言要浅显、简洁、生动。在概念比较抽象的地方可做适当的举例或比喻。4. 时态语态说明文常用一般现在时。如果说明的是人物、事物过去或将来的情况，则要用过去或将来的有关时态。另外，由于说明文重点放在被说明的人物、事物上，故有些说明文被动语态的使用频率相对比较高。
