参考范文

 

A child's education has never been about learning information and basic skills only. It has always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of society.Therefore, this cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone.

 

In order to be a good member of any society the individual must respect and obey the rules of their community and share their values. Educating children to understand the need to obey rules and respect others always begins in the home and is widely thought to be the responsibility of parents. They will certainly be the first to help children learn what is important in life, how they are expected to behave and what role they will play in their world.

 

However, learning to understand and share the value system of a whole society cannot be achieved just in the home. Once a child goes to school, they are entering a wider community where teachers and peers will have just as much influence as their parents do at home. At school, children will experience working and living with people from a whole variety of backgrounds from the wider society. This experience should teach them how to co-operate with each other and how to contribute to the life of their community.

 

But to be a valuable member of any community is not like learning a simple skill. It is something that an individual goes on learning throughout life and it is the responsibility for every member of a society to take responsibility for helping the younger generation to become active and able members of that society.

 

范文翻译

 

孩子的教育从来就不只是了解信息或者掌握一些基本技能。这其中还包括教育下一代如何成为一个好公民。因此，这不单单只是家长的责任。

 

要成为一个好公民，个人必须尊重并遵循社会规则，并认同社会的价值观。教导孩子遵循规则并尊重他人最初是从家庭开始的，以至于让很多人认为这是家长的责任。家长当然是最先让孩子明白生活中什么是重要的，他们该如何表现，以及他们今后将发挥什么作用的人。

 

然而，让孩子明白并认同整个社会的价值体系仅仅靠家庭是无法完成的。小孩一旦上学，他们就会融入一个更大的群体。在那里，老师们和同伴们对他产生的影响不亚于家长在家里的影响。在学校，孩子将和来自更广泛社群的不同背景的人一同学习和生活。这种体验会教会孩子如何与他人合作，如何为社会生活做贡献。

 

但是成为一个有用的公民并不像学习一项简单的技能那样。这需要个人倾其一生去不断学习，同时帮助年轻的一代成为更积极、更能干的公民也是每一个公民的责任。
