Good teachers are more important to a child’s development than good parents. In most cases, it could be true that good teachers are more important to a child's development than good parents. First, teachers are professionals, who have solid teaching skill and know how to guide the children appropriately, while many parents are not so good at coaching even though they are very nice and intelligent people themselves. Second, theachers have more experience in dealing with different children who have different intelligence, interests and characters, while parents are not so sophisticated in this aspect. Therefore, teachers may be more competent than the parents in figuring out a typical method to teach a kid in an effective way, according to his/her own characteristics. And teachers may also have more chances to coach the child how to get along with other children, which helps to improve their inter-personnal skills at an early age. Usually, parents are not so capable of doing those stuffs. Moreover, parents sometimes tend to over-love their children that they give the kids whatever they want or try to satisfy every need of them. Teachers will not make such mistakes towards the children as they are more sensible. Teachers will reasonably decide when the child should be punished for bad behavior and when the child should be awarded for good practice, while parents are often not able to do that since they just love their children too much. Last but no the least, teachers are more experienced than parents in assigning tasks to the children. Children get exposure to different situations during the process of completing the task. They may also greatly enhance their analytical and problem solving skills in finish such assignment. For the reasons stated above, I basically agree with the saying that good teachers are more important to a child's development than good parents in most cases.
Good teachers are more important to a child’s development than good parents.
In most cases, it could be true that good teachers are more important to a child's development than good parents. (这个起头过于简洁了,至少要解释一下问题。而且it could be true这种很有所保留的语气用在开头里会让读者有不正确的期望 - 就是你后面可能还会讲讲in other cases的情况。阐述意见最好是干脆明确)
First,teachers are professionals, who have solid teaching skills and know how to guide the children appropriately, while many parents are not so as good at coaching even though they are very nice and intelligent people themselves. (作文题目是 老师比家长在孩子的成长上起更大的作用,而不是 老师比家长会教孩子. 至少需要再添一句类似better coaching provides better guidance to children's development之类的话。)
Second, theachers have more experience in dealing with different children who have different levels of intelligence, interests and characters, while parents are not so as sophisticated in this aspect. Therefore, teachers may be more competent than the parents in figuring out a typical method to teach a kid in an effective way, according to his/her own characteristics (typical的潜台词是 适合多数人的,所以跟后面半句直接矛盾。I think you meant to say something like 'customized' or 'organized'). And (常见的问题,and不应该用在正式写作的起句,用furthermore)teachers may also have more chances to coach the a child on how to get along with other children, which helps to improve their inter-personnal skills at an early age. Usually, parents are not so capable of doing those stuffs.(stuff是一个非常不严肃的词,除非为了写作风格,议论文中建议少用。另外第二个点比较弱,你其实已经提出来了老师有更多 机会 教导人际关系,但这不等于家长not capable。这里根本的原因是一般来说小孩和老师在一起的时候是在学校里,其他孩子多的环境,所以老师才更有机会,而和父母在一起的时候一般是在家里,还有很重要的中国现在多数都是独生子女,才会造成家长没什么机会教 - 所以如果是上门的家教老师呢?如果是美国那种家里通常都至少俩孩子的呢?所以你需要把more chances的概念解释清楚)
Moreover, parents sometimes tend to over-love spoil their children that they give the kids whatever they want or try to satisfy every need of them.(or的前后两部分好像是一个意思啊) Teachers will not make such mistakes towards the children as they are more sensible (技术上来说,sensible与否并不是一个很strong的原因. 如果父母自己是当老师的呢?他们会sensible还是宠孩子呢?The point here is that teachers normally don't have particularly strong feelings towards any individual child that they teach.). Teachers will reasonably decide when the a child should be punished for bad behavior and when the child he should be awarded for good practice, while parents are often not able to do that since they just love their children too much and tend to feel reluctant about punishing them.
Last but no the least, teachers are more experienced than parents in assigning tasks to the children.Children get exposure to different situations during the process of completing the tasks. They may also greatly enhance improve their analytical and problem solving skills greatly in finishing such (前面并没有具体描述什么task,用such没有着落) assignments.
For the reasons stated above, I basically agree with the saying that good teachers are more important to a child's development than good parents in most cases. (又是很有保留的语气。这样会让读者觉得你的文章没有写完。托福的议论文不需要这么政治正确,前面已经把原因阐明得很好了)
我感觉你的文章结构有点不好,
你的第一个,第二个,第四个 都是在说一个东西
第一段你说:teachers are professionals, who have solid teaching skills and know how to guide children appropriately
我觉得这里面可以详细的说一下 老师的这些skills 和 appropriate coaching 具体体现在哪里, 可以用你的第二个和第四个例子解释
1. more experience in dealing with different children who have different levels
of intelligence, interests and characters.
2. are more experienced than parents in assigning tasks to the children.
我觉得这两个是说明老师是professionals的具体例子
所以你的文章可以分为 4 段
开头,第1,2,4段综合,第3段,结尾
其实不用说那么多理由吧,两个好好展开就可以。
