One of the questions in Cambridge IELTS book 8 asks who should be responsible for making children into good citizens: parents or schools?
Here's a paragraph I wrote about this topic:
Parents play a huge ______ in their children’s lives, and shoulder more of the ______ for their upbringing than school teachers do. Before starting school, infants spend the first four or five years of their lives with their mothers and fathers. During those ______ years, parents teach their children vital skills and habits, such as the ability to speak, eat and behave. Parents are the major role ______ for young people, who copy the behaviour that they see on a daily ______ at home, and it would be wrong to expect schools to ______ a greater influence than the family.
Can you guess what words I used in the spaces?
