Some people think parents should supervise their children's activities closely, while others believe children should have more freedom. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

One of the social concerns today relates to
parents
supervision
of their
children
.
While
it is widely believed that
parents
should take control of their
children
closely, others believe
parents
should give more freedom to their
children
. I’m going to discuss these opposing points of view. In my opinion, we should keep the balance between the two notions. (không sai, nhưng chung chung vậy thì điểm thấp) On the one hand, it is argued that
parents
supervision
of their young is important and necessary. The main reason is that
kids
are unable to protect themselves in some likely dangerous situations. It is
also
possible to say that they are not mature and knowledgeable enough to keep themselves away from dangers that are present everywhere around them. One good illustration of
this
is that a
child
may not know a bowl of boiling soup on the table is hot and can cause burning. They possibly put their fingers into the bowl and get a burn. Another reason is nowadays there is an increasing issue of
children
kidnapping crime.
For example
, when a
child
is playing in the park without his
parents
supervision
, some bad people can approach the
child
and allure him with sweets or something, and
then
kidnap the
child
. The criminals do that just because they want to take ransom from the
child
’s
parents
or they may sell the poor
child
overseas. So if the
parents
always keep an eye on their
children
’s activities, it will be safer for the
kids
.
On the other hand
, it is strongly believed by others that
children
should have more freedom to do almost whatever they want. People often have
this
opinion because they think the best way to learn everything is from both bad and good experiences that would help
children
grow independently and wisely. A second point is that freedom would encourage and enhance a
child
’s creativity, problem-solving skills and taking
responsibilities

responsibility

. A particularly good example here is a
child
who is playing with his peers in the playground, and sometimes there is a quarrel with other
kids
. If the
parents
do not intervene in the
kids
’ business, the
child
will learn how to communicate, and negotiate to get what he wants. He may be a loser, but at least after that, he can learn to control his bad feelings. In conclusion, it is commonly thought that
parents
should supervise their
children
carefully meanwhile others assume that
parents
should give their
children
more space to

grow up naturally and learn new things with genuine curiosity about the world and sometimes deal with certain harsh situations. But it does not mean that

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.
