審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生根據(jù)情景內(nèi)容就“家庭和媒體對(duì)孩子的影響”這一話題進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)述。
2. 情景解讀：有人認(rèn)為家庭對(duì)孩子影響很大，然而另一部分人認(rèn)為媒體對(duì)孩子的影響更大。簡(jiǎn)述他們各自的觀點(diǎn)并說(shuō)說(shuō)自己的看法。
3. 文章立意：各種大眾媒體隨處可見(jiàn)，這使得孩子可以隨時(shí)隨地通過(guò)它們獲取大量信息，從而形成自己對(duì)世界的看法，而家庭對(duì)于孩子的性格、世界觀以及行為方式更是有著潛移默化的影響。家庭對(duì)孩子成長(zhǎng)的影響是媒體所不能替代的。
寫(xiě)作思路
1. 第一段簡(jiǎn)要描述現(xiàn)象，指出“家庭和媒體對(duì)孩子的影響孰輕孰重”這一話題已經(jīng)引起廣泛熱議。
2. 第二段通過(guò)舉例的方式就家庭和媒體各自對(duì)孩子產(chǎn)生的影響展開(kāi)討論。
3. 第三段呼應(yīng)主題，介紹自己對(duì)這一問(wèn)題的看法并剖析原因。
參考范文
Children’s growth is always accompanied by their family, but nowadays the media plays a more and more important role in their daily life. 1 Therefore, the topic on which of them influences children more greatly sparks a heated debate. 2
Some think a family has a subtle influence on children’s personality, the outlook on life and the way of doing things because of the kinship and domestic intercourse. 3 But others believe that the media is a bigger influence on the three aspects above because the mass media are more frequently exposed to children in their daily life, such as newspaper, broadcast, TV shows, and Internet, which provide almost all kinds of information. 3
As far as I am concerned 4 , I would like to take the side of the former for two more reasons. One 4 is that parents help children with refining what is real and valuable from the tremendous amount of information from the mass media. The second 4 is that compared with the mass media, face-to-face communication proved to be the most direct and efficient way of promoting emotions of children. Thus, family can influence the children in the way that media cannot. 4
孩子的成長(zhǎng)總是伴隨著家人，而現(xiàn)如今媒體在他們的日常生活中也扮演著越來(lái)越重要的角色。因此，有關(guān)兩者中哪一個(gè)對(duì)孩子的影響更大的話題引發(fā)了人們的熱議。
因?yàn)檠壍年P(guān)系和家庭成員之間的往來(lái)，一些人認(rèn)為家庭對(duì)孩子的性格、人生觀以及處事方式有著潛移默化的影響。然而另一部分人認(rèn)為媒體在上述三個(gè)方面對(duì)孩子的影響更大，因?yàn)楹⒆釉谒麄兊娜粘Ｉ钪袝?huì)更頻繁地接觸大眾媒體（如報(bào)紙、廣播、電視節(jié)目和網(wǎng)絡(luò)等），這些媒介幾乎可以提供所有的信息。
就我個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)而言，我更傾向于前者。除上述原因以外還有兩點(diǎn)：一是家長(zhǎng)可以幫助孩子從大眾媒體提供的海量信息中提煉真實(shí)和有價(jià)值的東西。二是與大眾媒體相比，家庭成員之間的面對(duì)面的溝通被證明是促進(jìn)孩子感情發(fā)展的最直接和最有效的方式。因此，家庭可以用一種媒體無(wú)法做到的方式來(lái)影響孩子。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. One is that parents help children with refining what is real and valuable from the tremendous amount of information from the mass media.
這句話中包含了一個(gè)由that引導(dǎo)的表語(yǔ)從句和一個(gè)由what引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句。
2. The second is that compared with the mass media, face-to-face communication proved to be the most direct and efficient way of promoting emotions of children.
這句話中使用了非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作狀語(yǔ)的結(jié)構(gòu)?！癱ompare”與句子主語(yǔ)“face-to-face communication”是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用過(guò)去分詞形式。
