Nowadays sending children to boarding school is becoming increasingly popular. What is the reason?
Do you think it is a positive development?
典型的混合类题目，我处理成了五段式，body1先回答引发的原因（report）, body2 body3 一段说positive，一段说negative（argumentation）
开头段处理成考官式的开头。
Body3 在说boarding school的坏处时，因为时间关系，写的非常简短，在一定程度上会影响我在TR项的得分。
结尾处有点仓促。
With the rapid development of economy, parents are becoming rather busy with their work, which means limited time cannot be shared much by their children. As a result, sending youngsters to boarding school is a relatively good way to make a balance between work and family.
The reason for this new trend may involve the stiff competition and the great pressure in most big cities of my country, which means parents are forced to pay more attention to their work, in order to survive, rather than their family life, leading to a lack of parenting. Consequently, the boarding school makes it easier for these urbanites to cope with their jobs efficiently. By contrast, without sending children to the boarding school, the efficiency of work tend to be affected.
Considering the merits of the boarding school, it is a positive development to a certain extent. To start with, young students living in the school might be cultivated much better. To illustrate, the discipline regulated by the schooling is very strict, compared with living at home. Moreover, staying alone without the attendance from families makes it possible to develop the adaptability of youths. Obviously, they are forced to become accustomed to the school lives and have to learn the basic living skills, like washing clothes.
However, living apart from families may have a negative influence on the family relationship, because children are segregated from their parents. Indeed, parents don’t have much chance to communicate with their children, resulting in the increasingly enlarged generation gap.
To sum up, I believe that sending students to boarding school is a positive progress which has been made as a good measure to ease the pressure of parents. However, it also creates the danger of poor family relationship.
