　　参考范文：

　　There is an old saying “Never go out there to see what happens， go out there to make things happen”。 It’s the experience of our forefathers，however，it is correct in many cases even today。

　　Only when you participate more can you make things perfect。 Participation has been more and more important in the society。 Students are asked to enter society and get some ideas of it。 Surely participation has many advantages。 Firstly， it can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people。 In this way people can gain some valuable social experience， which will be useful to their future life。 Secondly， as college students， we can apply what they have learned in class to practical work， thus knowing themselves more clearly。 Take the study of oral English for example， participation in any chances of communications with others in English， which enables us to become fluent in speaking。

　　In summary， participation is the key factor in our daily life no matter who you are， no matter what you are doing。 We should put their studies in the first place and see participation just as a useful supplement， so they ought to try to strike a balance between them。

　　【翻译】

　　中国父母往往过于关注孩子的学习，以至于不要他们帮忙做家务。他们对孩子的唯一要求就是努力学习，考得好，能上名牌大学。他们相信这是为孩子好，因为在中国这样竞争激烈的社会里，只有成绩好才能保证前途光明。中国父母还认为，如果孩子能在社会上取得大的成就，父母就会受到尊敬。因此，他们愿意牺牲自己的时间、爱好和兴趣，为孩子创造更好的条件。

　　Chinese parents have frequently tended to pay too much attention to their children's study, so that children don’t help them do the housework. Their only requirement for their children is to study hard, perform well in the exams, and go to a famous/prestigious university. They believe it is good for their children, because in such a highly competitive society, only good results could ensure a promising future. Chinese parents 　　also believe that parents will be honored if their children can achieve great success in society. Therefore, they are willing to sacrifice their own time, hobbies and interests, to create much better conditions for children.
