 　　Topic(题目)：

　　What are some of the qualities of a good parent.Use specific details and examples to explain youranswer.

　　Model Essay(范文)：

　　I am fortunate to have good parents so it is easy for me to identify the qualities that makethem good. These qualities are unconditional¹ love, trust, and respect for me and my brothersand sisters.

　　All mothers and fathers love their children. They nurture² them and keep them from harm. Butnot all love is unconditional. Some parents would not love their children if they married someoneof a different religion or from a different ethnic³ group. Some parents would not love theirchildren if they were of a different sexual orientation⁴. My parents won’t. My parents would loveus regardless of whom we married or whom we chose to love.

　　Part of unconditional love is trust. My parents trust us to do what is right. They know we wouldnever do anything to hurt them or to disgrace them. They trust us so we trust them. We areconfident that they would never do anything to hurt us.

　　Because our parents love us, they also respect us. They treat us as individuals. They accept ourdifferences. They do not expect us to be like them. They want us to be our own persons. Theywant us to make our own way in the world, not follow in their footsteps.

　　Without their love, I would not be as confident as I am. Without their trust, I would not befree to do what I want. Without their respect, I would not feel comfortable being on my own. Allchildren should have such wonderful parents.
