A teenager named Xiong Xuan’ang recently gained public focus after he became the top gaokao scorer in Beijing.
In an interview, he said that his achievement was largely the result of his parents’ instruction and Beijing’s educational resources. In his opinion, top scorers are more likely to be born into middle-class or upper-class families, because their parents are usually intellectuals(知识分子) and tend to be successful. Xiong said his parents are officers and that their influence formed his character. According to him, it is becoming harder and harder for students from lower or working class families to succeed.
There is no doubt that Xiong’s parents are successful. They have also educated a successful child. But in my opinion, it’s one’s ability for learning that creates a high achiever. Although the study environment is important, a more important factor should be the child’s ability to learn, understand, concentrate and insist(坚持). And some successful parents are more likely to dedicate themselves to their career rather than their family, leaving less time to instruct their children.
Only if a student tries his or her best and makes very few mistakes can he or she possibly becomes a top scorer, regardless of their parents’ success.
