Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

our
first
mentor of life,
first
motivator, educator, the most reliable people on earth from day one of our life are only our parents. indeed they are our best teachers. in my opinion, I completely concur with that and because of the following two reasons I feel the way I do; moral values, and guidance, which I will examine in
this
essay.
To begin
,with I contend that, the moral values we get from our parents from our childhood play a very significant role in our whole life. they teach us the fundamentals at every point we need to grow as a person. these fundamentals will form the base of our personality,
such
as how we will behave in class, our attitude toward our friends and our seniors. though we learn these all in school as well,
however
before school every student has a notion of these things which are taught by our mother-father. my own experience is a compelling example of
this
. my mom use to tell me
this
storey many times and all my family members laugh a lot about
this
. she tells us that on the
first
day of my school I exchange my plastic slate with a rock slate from the student in the class because I liked his ballot more than of mine. when I come back home, my mom comes to know about
this
incident and tells me that I should return my friend slate to him and should use my own one in the class. The
next
morning I did the same,
also
from that day to today I have never done anything like
this
.
this
teaching which I learned from my mom is still grooming my personality.
second
is the guidance that we got from our mother and father. they understand us well
hence
they can guide us well than any other.
although
we learn many things from our teachers, friends, other family members and our surroundings still they always have a better way to guide us.
for instance
, as in the above example, I can say with moral value my mother
also
guide me so well that the
next
morning I again exchanged the ballot with my friend. in a nutshell, I am of the opine that, parents are the best teachers because of the moral values and guidance we get from them.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
