　　Children who are brought up in the family that do not have a lot of money   are better prepared to deal with problems when they become adults than children   who are brought up by wealthy parent.

　　Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

　　Model Answer:

　　Over the past few decades, along with growing interest in child education,   people's attention to the family environment where a child is brought up has   also significantly increased. Some people have begun to feel that a child who   has grown up in a poor family tend to be better prepared to deal with problems.   In my opinion, however, family environment alone does not much influence a   child's ability to solve problems.

　　A child who was born into a poor family would have had more situations   where they had to solve a problem or make a decision on their own. This is   because in most unfortunate families, both parents are usually working and   children are put into situations where they have to take care of themselves. By   contrast, due to their wealth, rich children can experience and learn things   that unfortunate children cannot. For example, they usually go to the best   schools and receive a higher education there, which prepares them better for   solving problems in their life.

　　However, few would disagree with the fact that each individual is   different. That is, problem solving skills come more from life experience. That   is, the more a person experiences in life, the more they can use these   experiences to adjust, to adapt and to solve problems they encounter.   Personality also can be a factor in dealing with problems. A person who is   optimistic, outgoing, confident and open-minded can look at and solve problems   more effectively.

　　As discussed above, nature and nurture have an equal influence on a child's   ability to face challenges. Parents should spare no effort to figure out how   they can help their children to be independent. I hope that in the future the   next generation will grow up as mature citizens.
