A [2015 •河南開(kāi)封高三模擬]

In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潛能)to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work towards their goals. Ameri?can parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.

American parents often encourage their children to be?come involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that on?ly through taking part in these activities can their children be?come mature young adults.

As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What's more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.

As a rule, Chinese parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.

   Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.

A.     the social skills than Chinese parents
