Some parents nowadays put more pressure on their children to succeed.

Why is this the case? Is it a negative or positive trend?

Introduction:

gain more success.

Thesis statement: (General answer)

In this essay, I will discuss the reason(s) behind this and state my
(personal) opinion that it is good >< bad / harmful >< beneficial.

it has advantages/ disadvantages

positive/ negative effects/ impacts

benefits/ drawbacks

BD1: Reason(s)

Reason 1: Good for their children - life (career)

Study hard / work hard

Chances/ Opportunities (school: earn scholarship => enter gifted schools/


go to top-notch universities)

Work: Companies and businesses are more likely to recruit outstanding/


excellent individuals => offer better positions / promotion => earn a good
living

Less intelligent/ competitive people - fewer opportunities

Reason 2: Parental showing-off/ boasting

Parents - proud of their children


Successful children - topic to discuss with others + Tendency of comparing
their children with others

=> More pressure + burden (gánh nặng) + higher expectations

Eg: Vietnam (apart from school time, extra class) - primary students -
spend more than 8hrs to study per day.

BD2: Both positive and negative impacts

Topic sentence: From my perspectives, this development could bring both


positive and negative impacts.

social welfare

Impact (positive): On the one hand,

The children might become more disciplined / be more serious with their
goals and objectives

Together with the proper (suitable) supervision and orientation from


parents => more chances to achieve their dreams/ targets/ ambitions.

Impact (negative): On the other hand,

Children might suffer from serious/ severe mental health issues/ problems.

Generation gap: khoang cach the he (parents’ need # children’s desire)

=> children lose their own privacy/ freedom to make decisions

=> miscommunication/ misunderstanding between family members =>


disagreements/ conflicts => damage the family relationship/ bonds.

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, / In summary,

2 reasons - parents’ thought and care / trend of boasting among parents

I personally hold the view that this development - (good / bad).
