参考答案：
In this illustration, we can see that a teenage girl informs her mother happily about the news that she is admitted to the college which her mother has selected for her. The picture implies the great influence that parents have on their children's decisions. Choosing college for them is a typical example.
It is evident that parents' thoughts and behaviors shape how their children think and behave. However, in my opinion, it is inappropriate for parents to make every major life decision for their children. For one thing, each child is an individual with his own character. Children's perceptions of life may be different from their parents', so their choices may diverge. For another, parents cannot fully comprehend what their children want or need and therefore their decision is not necessarily the best choice for their children.
All in all, it is advisable that parents respect their children's choices and let them be the masters of their own lives.
