2018年11月25日，托福独立写作的考题为：你是否同意，现今的家长养育孩子要比50年的家长轻松很多。这对这样的问题你会持有什么样的观点呢？来看看小站君为大家带来的范文及解析。

The main concern of parents are their children and parents do whatever they can for their children. However, is raising children become easier than 50 years before? Responses to this question differ from one person to another according to the view that they are holding towards social issues and their own experiences with children. As far as I am concerned, raising and taking care of children is much easier in comparison to the past, and further justification elaborate on my perspective.

父母最关心的是他们的孩子，父母为他们的孩子做任何事情。然而，抚养孩子是否比50年前更容易了呢?根据人们对社会问题的看法以及他们自己与儿童相处的经历，对这个问题的回答因人而异。在我看来，现在抚养和照顾孩子比过去容易得多，接下来，我会进一步阐述了我的观点。

Technologies improvement and subsequent higher quality of lives in comparison to the past, is the first and the most significant factor that facilitate child raising, and even critics affirm the accuracy of this comment. Fast foods, advance staffs and prepared clothes are just some of the facilitation that parents can utilize for their child raising process. For instance, they don't need to wash children's laundry with their own hands, meanwhile people in the past did not have washing machine; so, some parents in that time considered raising a child as boring and unpleasant work. Just with taking this factor into account we can infer how much it was difficult to have a child in the past. But, in the current advanced society all parents apply modern devices to do their works which make raising a baby much easier.

与过去相比，技术进步和随之而来的更高的生活质量是促进儿童抚养的第一个也是最重要的因素，甚至批评者也不反驳这一观点。快餐，先进的工作人员和已经制作完成的衣服只是家长可以用来抚养他们的孩子的小部分便利条件。例如，他们不需要用亲手来洗孩子的衣服，过去的人们没有洗衣机，所以，在那个时候，一些父母认为抚养孩子是一件无聊且不愉悦的的事情。考虑到这一因素，我们可以推断出在过去养育一个孩子是多么困难。在当今先进的社会，所有的父母都使用现代设备来做他们的工作，这使得抚养孩子更加容易。

Another noteworthy aspect is that nowadays children go to school to learn academic subjects, nevertheless it is not the whole story. Currently teachers convey many information to the students such as social skills and etc. Therefore, parents are not obliged to teach all lessons to their children. While in 50 years ago, many people did not have access to schools or university which means parents were teacher too. They had to assign some special times for teaching their children, consequently parents had less free time.

另一方面，现在的孩子上学是为了学习学术科目，然而这只是一部分。目前，教师会向学生传递许多信息，如社交技能等，因此，父母没不需要教授他们孩子所有的课程。而在50年前，许多人没有机会进入学校或大学，这意味着父母也是老师。他们不得不安排一些特殊的时间来教孩子，因此父母的空闲时间就少了。

To sum up, with showing respect to the people who disapproved the title statement, I believe that they are wrong because of being misinformed about mentioned reasons. I claim having and raising a child in current time is neither difficult nor unpleasant.

综上所述，在尊重那些反对标题声明的人的同时，我认为他们是错误的，原因如上所述。我认为在现在这个时代要抚养一个孩子既不困难也不会令人不愉快。

Obviously, parents can raise kids easier than in the past, owing to the better food, more teachers and  more chances for students to learn from other.

First and foremost, the most basic things to consider  about when raising  a kid is to provide he or she food. Even though in the past, some family could provide really well-prepared food to their children,  there did exist some ones whose kids suffered the feeling of hungry. However, at the moment, 50 years later, thanks to the development of technology and the further cooperation of countries around the globe,  most families in our country hardly have any trouble related with hungry, which means children currently can get  better nutrition than in  the past.

Secondly, after a family don't have trouble with hunger, they would want to learn something.  However, in the past, there are very limited teachers in our country, and if there are any, they would only appear in some specfic area. Furthermore, only those extreme richer family can provide their kids with such gprivilege. However , nowsdays,there are plenty of teachers in nearly all areas and at the same time, it is much cheaper to learn from teacher, which, in turn, means that children can easier to acquire better education. So the parents just need to pay less money in order to get their kid to have an education.

Thirdly, with the development of computers and transportation, children can get more information than in the past, which means that they have better chances for them to learn themselve. So parents don't need to spend the same mount of time than their counterparts.  In the past, 50 years ago, children nearly learn everythings from their parents, such as cooking and the skills to conmunicate with others. So the parents not only had to deal with their works but also need to teach their kids every simple thing. However now, children can easily learn everything from the internet no matter where he go or when the time it is. Only if he want to learn he can just pick up his phone, and then he can  get a very detail and vivid video illustrating how to do that. Also if he has any problem while he is learning, he can easily ask the people online.

With the statement above, we can safely draw a conclusion that it is easier to raise kids now.
