Part 2&3  A time when you shared something答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

There are lots of times I’ve shared things with others; I regard myself as a fairly generous person and I also enjoy sharing things with others. The last time I shared something with someone else… let me think… well, actually, the last time I shared something quite important and significant was with my friend, who is also studying the same subject, business management. I had managed to get hold of a number of seminal textbooks, in digital format, for one of our courses, and he had also managed to find a few books too. So, we both met up with USB memory sticks and we shared the materials we had found for these courses. We also had dinner together and shared our ideas about the courses, how we may approach studying them and doing the assignments, and the best online sites where we could find more of the materials, ideally for free. So, I think this is something that many students do, actually, share materials, share ideas, share perspectives on studies. I always feel good about sharing things, whatever they are, because it encourages a social culture where being helpful and kind is something that increasingly more people value. I think in a busy society, a competitive environment, and a quite stressful modern world, it’s important that people do not forget the value of sharing and helping others. As a student you’re usually under quite a lot of pressure, perhaps financially too, and so it’s the kind of environment in which people really should share things with each other, help each other out and try to make life better for those around us. It’s not just physical things that people share, like my example above, it’s thoughts, ideas, opinions and values. It’s worth remembering that these are equally as valuable as tangible physical things! 

If children are not taught to share, and do not enjoy sharing, they will inevitably grow up to be spoilt and boisterous and selfish people. I think that it's vital that children, from a very young age, are taught to share things, not snatch things from other children, and be considerate and respectful to others. I don't like to see high levels of competition and rivalry amongst people and I think that showing other people you are willing to share is part of promoting good values and reducing negative rivalrous habits. 

Personally, I don't mind sharing a flat with others. I think if you're sharing with the right people it's okay. However, there are all sorts of problems that can arise when people share a living space with other people – some people can be messy and untidy, other people can be argumentative and have strong personalities which clash – it's not easy living with other people and basically you've got to live with people that you can get along with. That’s challenging for a lot of people, to be honest. 

Parents and teachers have the responsibility of teaching children to be caring and sharing individuals. Basically, it's vital that parents instill good behavior and manners into children, and I am a firm believer in teaching children to be kind and supportive to each other. I think that society has become far too competitive these days and this can make children a bit unkind and so parents and educators need to promote values that will enable children to grow up to be good responsible members of society.
