Writing Feedback / TOEFL writing task 2: Which of the two approaches should busy parents spend with their children? [3]
TOEFL writing task 2:
Some people believe that when busy parents do not have a lot of time to spend with their children, the best use of that time is to have fun playing games or sports. Others believe that it is best to use that time doing things together that are related to schoolwork. Which of the two approaches do you prefer?
A. (306 words)
While some people believe that when busy parents do not have a lot of time to spend with their children, the best use of that time is to do things together that are related to schoolwork instead of having fun playing games or sports, other disagree. Personally, busy parents should spend their time with children on doing things that are related to schoolwork since they care about children's future, study, and ability.
First, parents care about their children's study and if they use that time to do things related to schoolwork with children, it can help improving their children's study. For example, if parents spend time teaching their children who are not good at math, it might help their children to get higher score and to have more interesting at math. Then, they will be more confident of themselves and more easily to get a job having a better future.
On the other hand, spending time with children having fun playing games or sports might be negative to their children. That is to say, if parents play a video game with their children whenever they have time, because of the happy time with parents, their children might love the video game and want to spend more and more time on it. Therefore, they waste a lot of time and have less time to study. Accordingly, busy parents should use their time with children on doing things that are related to schoolwork instead of having fun together playing games or sports.
All in all, the best use of the limited time of busy parents is to do things together that are related to schoolwork instead of having fun playing games or sports. That is, since they care about children's future, study and ability, spending time to do things together that are related to schoolwork is more appropriate.
