What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture?
Do you consider yourself a good son for your parents? What are the features of a good son? As far as I am concern, I believe that a good son should respect his parents, help them and never lie to them.
To begin with, a good son should respect his parents. It is very important for a son to take care of his behavior to his parents. For example, he should not speak loudly with them. Another way for a son to show his respect toward his parents is to obey them. He should do everything that his parents expect him. This quality has not changed much in my country. I can see many young boys around me who live with their parents and always behave respectfully with them.
Second, a good son is a person who helps her parents in the time of need. For example, every time my mother is cooking I go and help her. I also help my father when he is gardening. My younger brother, however, never helps my parents. This shows that this quality has changed over time and new generation of children do not like to help their parents.
Finally, another important feature of being a goon son is honesty. Parents always expect their children not to lie them. Every time that a son does this he makes them upset. For instance, when they ask you about your grades at school or about your friends, it is better to tell whole truth. They intend to help you solve your problems. However, these days many children hide some facts of their lives from their parents. This is because they think that they cannot help them.
To sum up, I claim that parents expect their children to help them, respect them and not to lie them. I think that I am a good son for my parents, because I do have all of these qualities.
Hi Bjeddi, I enjoyed reading your essay. Your writing is very clear throughout your essay, though your vocabulary and some of your sentences seem a little too basic and simple. You have addressed the prompt well and have included detailed examples to support your points, although you do have some minor grammatical errors here and there. I really want to give this a 4.5, but I think you need to improve your vocabulary a bit to make it to that level.
