破题思路：

　　第一段：漫画描述，重点是母女之间的对话内容，从而引出文章的主题是有关孩子的独立性，家长干涉孩子过多。

　　第二段：可以分析此现象产生的原因。

　　第三段：采取措施解决此现象。

　　How impressive the cartoon is in describing the most widespread social phenomenon concerning the independence of the children. Let’s take a closer look at the drawing, the girl told her mother she was accepted by the university of her mother’s choice with pride. The author’s real purpose is not the drawing itself, but to lead us to secure what hides behind the picture。

　　What are the reasons for it? In the following sentences, I’ll venture to explore the reasons. To start with, the only-one child policy in China has made more and more parents pay much attention to their children that they would like to replace their children to do everything. In addition, parents don’t believe that their children have enough ability to deal with their personal matters and make any decisions. There are some suggestions given to our parents。

　　For one thing, it is quite important for our parents to realize that their children will grow up and have their own ideas as time goes by. For another, children should be encouraged to make some decisions alone so that they are able to pursue what they really want. I contend that our parents should give their children a free hand in some matters to help them to be independent。

　　In the picture, there is a student talking to his father with the words that “Why am I going to school if my phone already knows everything?” How vivid is the picture to show the young generations’ dependence on high technologies such as the phone. But in my opinion, high technologies cannot replace going to school at all.

　　Three points can account for my view. Firstly, without going to school, we cannot learn basic knowledge and ethics that phones are unable to teach us. Secondly, without going to school, we cannot learn skills to make good use of high technologies. Thirdly, without going to school, we cannot learn disciplines and unity with people around us. In school, not only do we acquire knowledge but we learn how to communicate with people.

　　In a word, no matter how high technologies are powerful, they totally cannot replace going to school.

　　As is illustrated in the picture, a pupil is asking his father why he is going to school if his phone already knows everything. It can be known that the pupil lacks a thorough understanding of going to school.

　　Compared with the phone, there are certain things that can be only achieved by going to school. In the first place, going to school endows us with the experiences of getting along with others. Only by contacting people can our interpersonal skills be developed. The phone only provides information in an environment where there is just the phone and you. Secondly, you can consult your teacher face to face about any detail of your question, which cannot be done on your phone. Last but not least, school is a place where you can learn to be independent. If you stay with your parents all the time, you will never truly grow up.

　　To conclude, it’s a necessity for kids to go to school. It is a truth which should be well acknowledged that school can never be replaced by the phone.
