二、2018年4月26日雅思考试作文范文：

Contrary to the conventional practice of sending their kids to school, more and more parents today choose to educate their children themselves at home. While this "home-education" model may be beneficial in some ways, home can never replace school as the major place for the education of kids.

与将孩子送到学校这一传统做法相反的是，越来越多的父母现在选择自己在家教育孩子。虽然这种“家庭教育”的模式在某些方面也许有好处，但是，学校才是孩子教育的主要场所，家庭永远也取代不了。

Admittedly, home-education can bring about a bunch of benefits. With only one kid to teach, the parents will be able to know completely about the problems the kid has. In contrast, the teachers in school cannot spend that much time on the same kid because they have dozens of others to take care of. The natural result of this is that the home-educated kid may be given full attention to while his counterparts in school may well be ignored by his teachers. It is, therefore, very possible that a kid receiving home education excels a kid in school in terms of test scores.

的确，家庭教育可以带来一些好处。因为只教一个孩子，父母就能全部了解孩子的问题所在。然而，学校的老师不可能在一个孩子身上花那么多时间，因为他们得照顾其他几十个孩子。这种情况的自然结果是，在家接受教育的孩子可以得到全部关照，而他在学校读书的伙伴则完全可能被老师所忽视。因此，在家接受教育的孩子很可能在考试分数上要优于学校的孩子。

Nevertheless, test score is not the only objective of education. As far as I understand, education is more about telling a kid to become a better person and the first step towards this aim is learning to get along with people. In this regard, home-education can do very little. However, when the kid is sent to school, he will learn how to work out a problem in cooperation with his peer classmates and in this process, he will understand the art of cooperation and leadership. A home-educated kid, however well he achieves in tests, is just like a flower in greenhouse which easily withers away when exposed to the rain outside.

然而，考试分数不是教育的唯一目标。在我看来，教育更重要的是教会孩子成为一个更好的人，而实现这一目标的第一步就是学会如何与人相处。这一方面，家庭教育几乎无能为力。但是，如果把孩子送到学校，他就能学会如何与同伴同学合作解决一个问题，在这个过程中，他会明白合作和领导的艺术。接受家庭教育的孩子，无论他的考试分数多高，都不过像温室花朵，一旦遭遇外面的风雨，很容易就凋谢。

Unlike many worried parents who prefer to educate their kids at home, I believe school is the best place for kids' education. While there may be some bad influences outside home, there are also many excellent people who could be role models for kids. Most important of all, it is just in not so pure a place as school that kids can learn to tell right from wrong, good from bad and eventually become physically and psychologically healthy when they grow up.

与那些忧心忡忡宁愿在家教育孩子的父母不同，我相信学校才是教育孩子的最佳地方。虽然家庭外也许存在一些坏的影响，但也有很多优秀的人，可以成为孩子的榜样。最重要的是，正是在像学校这样不纯的地方，孩子们能够学会分辨正误和是非，待他们长大之后，最终成为身心健康的人。
