今年的考题内容亦不例外，作文中的图片的寓意是引起公众重视家长的榜样作用，注意日常生活中的言传身教。

下面给大家一篇范文，仅供参考。

As is vividly depicted in the drawing, in the left picture, the father tells his son to study hard while he watches TV in a leisure way in the same room, which makes his son feel unjust. On the contrary, in the right picture, the father sets a good example by studying at the table besides his son. Although the parent does not order his child to study, the latter is happy to follow suit and does his homework very carefully. Simple as the picture is, its symbolic meaning is as deep as ocean.
What the author tries to convey is that it is more significant for parents to set a good example for their children to follow rather than simply require them to do things. As is reflected in the drawing, the grown up are more likely to give orders to the young and ignore the possibility that the children, more often than not, question why their parents are not supposed to do so, which makes them feel it unfair to obey the order. On the other hand, if parents can set an example for their children, the young will follow the model and be more cooperative. To
some extent, there is no exaggeration in saying that it is the parents’action rather than words that has more profound influence on the behavior of their children. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their actions, which can affect their young family members in an invisible manner.
In summary, parents’ behavior does play an indispensable role in the healthy growth of the young in the modern society. To ensure that the youngsters can follow the advice or requirement of their parents, the adults are supposed to do what they ask their children to do in the first place.。
