Shelly Li(李雪莉), one of CommonWealth(天下雜誌)’ s editor, once published
an essay titled Don’ t be Helicopter Parents in 2007. This article’s main point
is obvious. Shelly probed into the circumstance of nowadays about parents’ teaching
and discipline.
In the article, Shelly
give two examples. One is that a mother was angry at the teacher because the teacher
didn’t answer her daughter’s question first. Another example is that a mother
being a volunteer who should keep order beside the swimming pool. She ran to
her daughter and used hair dryer to blow her daughter’s hair as her daughter
walked out from the dressing room.
From the examples
above, we can notice that there are more and more parents is easier to over intervene
and be over nervous. According to the author, these helicopter parents are born
in the period of 1961 to 1976. The children of this period saw the change of society,
and try to create more democratic and freer educational way. However, these parents
have some problems under the expectation to their “perfect” children. For
example, anxiety, uneasy, comparison etc.
Because of helicopter
parents, there are many children’s ability of living become poor. They become
easier to get anxious as well as parents. As a result, there is more and more problems
between parents and children.
In this article, Shelly
wrote about the reason and result of helicopter parents. In this part, Shelly
gives clear explanation. However, in connection with this situation, Shelly
didn’t say how to solve the problems. It’s weakness of this essay.

Good points and good examples. however, I suggest that you can connect this annotation more to your topic, instead of only describing the essay. I would like to know more about how helicopter parents are becoming children's obstacles in different aspects. if you can point those out i believe this article would be much clearer and stronger.
回覆刪除1. In the third paragraph, “there are more and more parents is easier to over intervene and be over nervous” maybe u can use “tend to” instead of “is easier to”
回覆刪除2. I like your examples. U mentioned that “there are many children’s ability of living become poor. They become easier to get anxious as well as parents.” Maybe u can talk more about it.
3. In the final paragraph, u said that the author of this article didn’t tell us how to solve this problem. Maybe u can tell us what u think is the best way to find the way out
