1、英语四级真题答案及解析第一套2017 年 12 月大学英语四级考试真题答案与详解（第 1 套）审题思路：Part I Writing父母与子女的关系是一个老生常谈的话题，学生自己也会非常有感触、有话说。因此，关键是如何组织语言， 并把重点落脚到“how”上面。如果采用我们一贯熟悉的“三点式”来讲怎么做，当然无可厚非。不过，也可以换 一种思路，重点从子女如何做下笔，并分析原因，使文章显得有理有据。考场上时间紧张，考生思维也易受局限， 不管从哪个角度写，一定要先列好提纲，理顺思路。高分范文：Communication Is the Best Gift for ParentsThe relation

5、父母与子女的关系是一个永恒而又普通的话题。我们与父母的关系可能在不同的年龄阶段有所不同。对二十几岁的年轻人来说，我认为与父母的关系更多取决于孩子怎么做。 我之所以这样说是因为随着我们长大，曾经被我们视为偶像的父母渐渐老去，甚至落伍。不管他们怎么努力都无法追赶上我们的脚步，从而导致所谓的无形的代沟。因此，如果我们不能放慢自己的脚步，那我们与父母之间绝 对会产生尴尬的沉默，现在这种现象并不罕见。所以，年轻人应该多与父母交流，以分享我们的感受和更好地相互 理解。每个人都想拥有慈爱、开放、支持我们的父母。只有通过频繁的沟通交流，我们才能与父母建立起这种和谐的 关系。Section APart II L
