Annotation 2

     The magazine called bobo小天才雜誌》, which published in 2008 April, wrote an article about five types of parents’ education. First type is democratic type. The children under this kind of education is usually independent and good at adapting new surroundings. They also like to try new things. The second type is autocratic type. The children under this kind of education is passive, and lack of thinking and criticizing. The third type is neglect type. The children who are usually neglected by parents are easy to debase the confidence and get away from people. The fourth type’s children is often spoiled by their parents. What is special is that the magazine divide the parents of the fourth type into two kind. One is let children do everything they want. The other is over protect their children. The last type’s parent is lack of unity. It makes children difficult to adapt new surroundings, have a sense of security and trust others.

     I want to focus on the second kind of parents of the fourth type. According to the article, this kind of parents often substitute for children to make decision. Because they consider their decision better than children’s, even the best and only way. In addition, their method also cause so negative effect to the children. Those who has been used to parent’s overall arrangement will take parents’ help for granted. Some can’t get along with others because they only think about themselves. Some will feel uncertain about their own decision and ability. In fact, these problems all result from parents’ distrust.


     In this century, parents get used to arrange everything for their children, which school to go to, which instrument and language to learn. It’s normal for parents to give children some advice. After all, parents indeed experience more from the society. However, everyone in this world has their own best way to face any trouble or difficulty. Parents’ idea can be a reference, but it doesn't have to be the answer. Moreover, we can’t deny that some obstacle can make children stronger and easier to solve the problems by themselves. Parents can’t keep their kids company forever. What they can do is to provide an appropriate assistance to train them how to protect and improve themselves.

  1. 1. the second paragraph fourth line, "cause so negative effects", "so" could be deleted
    2. "Some can’t get along with others because they only think about themselves. Some will feel uncertain about their own decision and ability. In fact, these problems all result from parents’ distrust."
    For this part maybe you can describe more of why parent's overly help would cause these preblems.

  2. Your source is very good. My opinion is that I think now that the fourth kind is what you want to focus on, then you don't have to write down all kinds,even to explain that in the first paragraph.
    And I think you can put some examples in your points. For example, you mentioned that "Some can’t get along with others because they only think about themselves. Some will feel uncertain about their own decision and ability." in the second paragraph, examples could make it powerful.

  3. In Taiwan, Parents always decide for their children what to do and even intervene children's future. Parents wants their children to be the best; however, they don't consider whether children like or not. It will lead to a sad situation that children have no own think.

  4. I agree with your point. I think Taiwanese parents arrange and decide almost everything for their children. Although it may not seem wrong with it for parents doesn't want their children to suffer in the future. However, I think the way parents does it deprive the time their children can schedule for themselves. I think your presentation is very good. You demonstrated in a confident tone which shows that you are well prepared.

  5. I think that you can talk about which one of the five types you prefer, which can make the point more complete. In the present Taiwan society, some children cannot do anything without parents. Therefore, I agree with your point that children should learn how to live by themselves.
