Write:

People attend college or university for many different reasons such as a new experience, career preparation and increased knowledge I think that these are the most common reasons

The first reason will begin with career preparation Many learners go to university or college want to get a good job in the future Therefore they tried to learn most subjects at school meeting the demand of social

The second one is having new experience in their late life Many learners leave home and enter a college and taste a new air in the college where is far from their houses or old school Because they meet new friends, eat new kinds of food, have a different daily routine from their old ones

Lastly is that learners can increase their knowledge They can learn new things from their teachers, friends and people around

In conclusion, besides the above reasons, there are still some other reasons for students to participate in college are that they have to at home if they don’t enter university, they will be jobless

I strongly agree with the statement that parents are the best teachers for three following reasons: they are old and experience; they always bring the best for their children as good education, good food, good living house and good friends; and they always give their kids better advice Parents are good so their children can follow

Firstly, parents are old and experienced people They know many things in life and what they know they want their kids can know Moreover, they work, travel a lot so they meet the difficulty time in their life, they will tell the students to avoid mistakes that they passed So, parents are the best teachers and they use their experience to teach their children

Secondly, parents always bring the best things for their kids They work hard to earn money to pay their children’s fee at school They buy their son or daughter with good food; make

a good house where their children can come back to Also parents want to choose best friends to play with Then, they are the best teacher for their kids

Thirdly, children can get better advice from their parents No mother or father give their son bad advice So they give the best advice then their kids can follow More and more, they are good examples that children obey

In conclusion, parents are always the best teachers who have experience, give children good things in life and best advice However, children need to learn from other sources

It’s said that parents are always the best teachers but we strongly disagree with the above statement Because of the following reasons such as: children become more independent when growing; children have a better access to the academic world; and children’s view may be different from their parents’

Firstly, when children are small, their parents can take care of them closely But when they grow up, they go to school, have friends and teachers, so they can learn from their friend, their teacher and their books, too Their books may be different from their parents’ books Therefore, if their [parents teach them at home with the old books, the children may not keep up with their friends in class

Secondly, nowadays children have a lot of opportunities to access the academic world such as they have the Internet that their parent didn’t use to it when they were young They children can learn from the Internet too However, the Internet has two points: good and bad The important thing is that they have to choose what they should learn

Thirdly, children’s view on life, job, and marriage is different from their parents’ In the parents’ time, if boys and girls lived together without marriage is a terrible idea and get heavy punishment from the local authority but now the children can do so without paying care to it much As a result, parents insist on passing what they think is right on their children, there must

be a conflict between the two generations

In conclusion, I must accept that parents are important teachers when children are small but they cannot be the best ones all the time There’s still a gap between children and parents in every family

When the children are small, they live and depend closely on their parents At this time of life, parents are the most important teachers However, when children grow up, parents gradually lose their role to them for three following reasons: children can be influenced from books they learn at school; from friends they meet in life and from their own solution to their real troubles Books, friends and troubles are also their teachers besides their parents

First, when children go to school, they learn many things from books They learn many subjects so with each subjects they can learn the good things Moreover, through books they can learn from their teachers Many learners are directly influenced by their own teachers They might behave or have a dream that the teacher fire on them during the lesson

Second, friends inside or outside school have to some extent, a great affect on them They interact and play with each other and can give them advice immediately Moreover, they are at the same or around age so they can more easily to understand each other than their parents

Third, no parents can go with children all life, so it’s time children had to face up with troubles in their life The way they solve problem could give them some experience or lesson for the next time It’s said that “failure is mother of success”, therefore, they will be never successful

if they never taste the feeling of losing

In summary, parents are the very important and necessary teachers at the beginning of life for any human being Yet, when children are grown up they must need other teachers for example books, friends and even failure
