参考范文

The picture above vividly depicts the influence of role model. In the first picture, we can see a father, who is urging his son to study harder, is watching TV on the sofa while enjoying a cigarette. In the second picture, we can see the father and the son are both studying hard with full attention.

The picture shows the importance of a role model. Many parents tend to neglect the impact of their own act on their children when they are educating their children. Most parents are more likely to tell their children what is right or what is wrong, because words seem to be more effective and cost less time and energy. Actually, the correct way to educate is to set a good example rather than merely make requirements.

To sum up, the parenting way in the second picture is very wise. As we all know, actions speak louder than words. A positive model of their parents plays an important role in child’s health growth. Parents can’t be a giant in words but a dwarf in action. Only through proper guidelines can parents contribute a health and harmonious environment.

参考译文

上述图片生动地描绘了榜样的力量。在第一幅图片中，我们看到一位父亲正在让他的儿子好好学习，而自己却坐在沙发上一边抽烟一边看电视。在第二幅图片中，我们看到父亲和儿子都在专心致志地学习。

图片反应了榜样的重要性。许多家长在教育孩子时往往会忽略他们自身的行为对孩子的影响。大多数父母会选择用话语告诉孩子们什么是对的，什么是错的，因为话语似乎看起来更有效、更省时、省力。实际上，教育孩子的正确方法是树立良好的榜样，而不仅仅是提要求。

总之，第二幅图片中教育孩子的方式是明智的。我们都知道，行胜于言。父母的正面榜样在孩子的健康成长中起重要作用。父母不能是话语上的巨人，行动上的矮子。只有通过正确的引导，父母才能为孩子打造健康、和谐的成长环境。

题目分析

        本次作文为图画作文，题目中有两幅漫画，以父亲和儿子为漫画主体。第一幅漫画中父亲坐在沙发上看电视，却要求儿子好好学习；第二幅漫画中，父亲以身作则，与儿子一同学习。再根据漫画下方的一句话“与其只提要求，不如做个榜样”可知，文章应以“父母的榜样力量”为话题展开。
