2017年托福写作独立写作真题：
Rather than help their children with schoolwork, parents should help their children to work independently.
审题之后会发现这道题目是一个“应不应该”的题目，笔者推荐使用最简单的“总分总结构”来写作。首先，提出自己的观点，即父母应该帮助自己的孩子独立完成作业。然后，分别阐述两个理由，分别是可以更好的掌握所学知识和可以培养独立解决问题的能力，最后总结。
范文如下：
In current society, according to the survey conducted by a newspaper titled China Daily, the study burden on the shoulder of students is increasingly heavier, which has attracted widespread public attention. When it come to what parents can do to help their children’s study, many people, if not most, are strong believers of the claim that parents should finish their kids’ homework for the purpose of relieving the study pressure. However, as far as I am concerned, parents are supposed to guide their children to complete their homework independently, for having a better command of knowledge imparted in class and cultivating their independent thinking ability.
First and foremost, it is undeniable that finishing homework by themselves can help children better absorb the knowledge they obtained. As is known to all, the purpose of assigning homework to students is to review what they learned in the class. In other words, teachers will view their assignments as a yardstick to evaluate how well their students have absorbed the knowledge. For example, a history teacher may require his students to write a paper about the Independence War after briefly introducing the background and process of this war. Due to the lack of sufficient information about this subject, kids may turn to their parents for help. Some parents may do everything for their children, including collecting data, outlining the whole article and even finishing the paper. However, other parents may just provide some information sources and ask their kid to select relevant information and design the structure of the article. After finishing the paper, those who finish it independently have understood the whole process of Independent War, while those who do not complete by themselves forget what they learned quickly.
Furthermore, it is indisputable that doing assignment independently can foster children’s ability of solving problems on their own, which is of great importance to their future success in their work and college study. The childhood is a critical period in which children shape characteristics or personalities. If a kid is accustomed to seeking helping from others whenever they encountered setbacks or troubles, he is likely to become emotionally attached to others and will never achieve success. By contrast, those who have formed the habit of resolving problems by themselves have a greater chance to succeed. Take my friend, Thompson, as an example. Whenever Thompson asks their parents for help in the process of doing homework, his parents never directly give him the answer to the questions or do the homework for him. They usually guide Thompson to figure out the answer by himself and thus he formed a good habit of independent thinking. Later in his college study and work, he will always stand out because of his independent ability.
In the final analysis, judging from what has been discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that parents should help their children to finish their homework independently instead of finishing it for them, in order to grasp what they learned better and develop the ability of solving problem on their own.
