问题     The (grand)parent-child relation is no longer as intimate as decades ago. In news report, we are no longer strangers to those headlines such as "Mother Stabbed by Her Own Son" and "Grandma Bunged to Death over 10 Yuan". The cold-blood killers are none other than their own (grand)children. As for a nation which advocates filial piety, what do you think are the causes leading to the ungrateful children? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案                        On the Ungrateful Children
    The shocking news that a college student stabbed his mother to death because of her inability to remit the tuition fee has urged the society to reflect upon the moral decline of some children in China. Sadly, this is not an isolated case, because similar pieces of news are reported now and then in recent years. As I see it, both children and parents are to blame for the ungratefulness of children.
    First of all, it’s unfilial for the children to take their parents’ care for granted. In modern China, this is a prevalent phenomenon among many youngsters which results in ungratefulness for their parents. As an old saying goes, "Gratitude and greed go not together." When children’s gratitude towards their parents is absent, greed will fill the void. Increasingly, children will be asking more from their parents, without being thankful. The more they ask, the less they will be appreciative. The vicious cycle is thus set in motion.
    Secondly, the lack of communication between parents and children is attributed to the problem. Parents would usually spare no effort to love their children, especially the only child in a family. This love, however, has become a one-way street where some children’s love for their parents has weakened due to a lack of communication. Kids are more often than not con-fined to themselves, unwilling to reach out for their parents. It is, therefore, necessary for children to take a first step to bridge the generation gap by talking to their parents, instead of simply taking whatever their parents offer. More communication will enable kids to understand the efforts parents made to bring them up and the sense of gratitude would be nurtured.
    Thirdly, excessively permissive parenting also spoils the kids, which results in the absolute dependence on their parents. Since many parents would go to full length to save troubles from their kids, children usually develop an unhealthy reliance on their moms and dads. The habit of taking, not giving, has been formed and internalized in their mindsets. That is why parents should be a bit strict with their children, for the good of their personality and character-building.
    To conclude, parents and children must make concerted efforts to develop a healthy and close relation. As the saying goes, "Gratitude is the least of the virtues; ingratitude the worst of vices." Without the least of the virtues, children would be left with the worst of evils. This is what we should avoid in our household.
