導語：兒童教育類已成為託福的寫作真題，但是不擔保它下次就不會考，下面YJBYS小編解析一下這種話題該如何寫，歡迎參考!
What is the most important do you think to share with a young child (age 5-10)?
1. Being well organized
2. Being honest
3. Being helpful to others
題目翻譯：分享給5到10歲的孩子以下三個價值觀，哪一個是最重要?
1.樂於助人
2.誠實
3.組織有序
託福寫作考試點評：本次託福獨立寫作是兒童教育類，新題，但也是傳統的兒童教育類，意思是你認為要跟小孩分享的事情最重要的是哪一個，第一是要讓他們生活有條理，第二是要誠實，第三是要樂於助人，典型的三選一題型，還是用上課時候講過的文章結構和方法去寫作即可，可以兩段支援段加一段反證段，也可以一段支援段加兩段反證段，靈活使用即可。這裡選擇第一個。
首先，being organized是他們今後獨立生活的必備能力。其實現在很多孩子的小時候的生活都是父母在安排，孩子只要被動的接受並且執行，其實沒有自己的想法，而這則會使他們對父母產生過度的依賴，會對他們獨立生活會產生消極影響，導致自己無法自理生活，而如果從小就學習如何能夠井井有條的安排自己的生活的話，他們以後就可以自己很獨立很好的生活。
其次，being organized能減輕他們以後生活和學習的壓力。其實，現在很多學生都有拖延症，就是因為不會安排自己的時間，導致拖到最後自己壓力很大，這甚至到high-level education還會發生，所以being organized是一種管理生活和學習的能力，能夠考慮好每件事情要做的時間點，知道在正確時間做正確的事情，這樣的話不僅可以按時完成自己的.學習或者工作任務，還可以讓自己的生活壓力減緩很多。
另外，being honest雖然也很重要，但其實在今後的生活中，一個人是很難保持百分之百誠實的，因為有一些場合是需要說謊的，比如說有些善意的謊言，而且在某些情況下，誠實反而會冒犯到他人，比如直接指出他人的缺陷或者短處，所以說孩子應該要在自己的生活和社交過程中去體會如何在不冒犯他人的情況下去保持誠實，這是在他們小時候可能無法理解的事情，這是需要時間去磨練和積累的。當然，being helpful也是一個很重要的品質，但同樣地，幫助他人也要看情況，不能一味的幫助他們，這樣的話有時候使得他人對自己產生過度的依賴，反而對他們的能力產生負面效果。而這些也是孩子在小時候難以學習的道理。

託福獨立寫作範文一:The traditional virtue of honesty in all situations is increasingly doubted by many in today’s world. Many believe that being honest is not always the best policy when dealing with people and shall not be shared with children. Be that as it may, this essay will explore the importance of being honest in relationships between people.
Undeniably, Sharing values of being honest exposes children to the cruel world. We all understand that often the truth is offending and may not be a very nice thing to both hear or say. Even, many would agree that if a company is to tell the absolute truth about it’s products, no one would be interested in even having a look at the products. The same logic also applies to human relationships. if your friend had worn a newly purchased dress on her birthday and energetically asked you if it was a worthy buy, would you freely express your opinion that you had never seen a dress as the one she’s currently wearing? and spoil her birthday? unarguably, hiding(entirely or particularly) the truth in some situations can be quite handy indeed. confrontations and disputes can seemingly be avoided.
However, there is always the risk factor of the truth emerging sooner or later when telling an untruth. the basic trust in any relationships friends,parents and children will be blotched, and would have an impact on the future relationship between both parties. the story of the “the boy who cried wolf” fully illustrates the consequences of telling lies. no one will believe you when you’re telling the truth. Therefore, after presenting the value of honesty to children, they will avoid falling in the dilemma.
In addition, another “bad factor” of telling untruths is that you have absolutely no control over when the truth will emerge. untruths breed pain in both parties: tears when the truth is uncovered after a period of time; in the long run, it seems that hiding the truth is not beneficial to either party. In contrast, delivering the value of being honest to children, children will have no worries of fearing the truth to be exposed. Therefore, the life will be easier than those choosing to cover up the secrets.
Everyone hates betrayal. even if it is the trend to occasionally hide the truth in relationships, it is strongly recommended that not to follow that trend as the risk and the consequences of the truth unfolded overwhelms the minimal advantages one can derive from not telling the truth. After all, it is understood that relationships are founded on “trust” which goes hand in hand with “truth”. Indeed honesty is the most important consideration in any relationship between people. As a result, this value should be shared greatly.(word count: 472)
託福獨立寫作範文二:As the first teacher of a child, parents play a pivotal role in children’s growth, which is not just restricted to physical well-being but includes personality-building and psychological health. Especially for young children aged 5 to 10, parents are like role models that children admire and try to imitate. So, there are many good traits that parents are supposed to help children develop, such as being honest, being helpful and being organized. In my mind, the first lesson children at this age should learn is honesty.
To begin with, honesty is the valuable character for a child to be accepted by others. To maintain friendly relationship, people need mutual trust. It is vital that a child is honest to parents, playmates, teachers and anyone they meet. At young age, they may be simply blamed for telling lies, but when they grow up, what dishonesty costs them is the loss of trust, and gradually they may be isolated. In a word, parents should timely point out children’s lies and appropriately help them correct the mistake. For instance, the reason why a child refuses to admit he breaks the vase is he fears parents’ punishment. But, if he finds his lies can help him avoid punishment and thus gets used to lying, the loss will finally become unbearable and irreversible in future work or study.
Secondly, children should also learn to be honest to themselves. Inevitably, people will encounter some situations or consequences that they are unwilling to confront. At this moment, someone may choose to deceive themselves and escape from reality. Through constantly lying to themselves, they may finally forget the truth and accept lies they make up as facts. For example, when a child does not want to admit he loses a game at school, he may make up some excuses to cheat himself, such as unfair referee, and refuses to admit the competitor actually is stronger. Consequently, once he finds sanctuary in lies, the dishonesty to inner heart stops him from training harder to win the game but encourages complaints and self-abandonment. Parents at this time have the duty to motivate children to break lies and be honest to themselves bravely.
Admittedly, being cooperative and organized is also significant characteristic that children ought to possess since young. To keep everything in order is the prerequisite for one to maintain high efficiency in work or study. In addition, kind-hearted people are usually popular among people and can easily expand social circle. For example, parents can encourage children to keep their room tidy and organized, and organize children in the neighborhood to join in community services. However, for all the valuable traits that children should share, what comes first must be honesty. An organized and helpful lier can never be called a respectful person.
In summary, good parenting is of great significance in children’s growth. It is parents’ responsibility to equip children with good personalities at formative years. Among all the desirable traits children should cultivate, honesty is always the most valuable one.
