篇一：The Cause of Left Behind Children关于造成留守儿童原因的200到300字的英语作文

The Cause of Left Behind Children

Currently, there is growing concern about the left behind children. The left behind children lack concern from their parents and this affects their mental and physical health.Recently,i read several news about the left behind children.It’s amazing me that a 8 years old little girl commit suicided because her mother did’t go back at Spring Festival and she wrote ‘I miss mother’ in her suicide letter.Apart mental and physical health,their education condition is also a big problem.It reported that 50% of left behind children can’t have common education.I think the cause of left behind children have many aspects.

First one thing,the economic differences are too big between urban and rural areas.In rural areas,there is almost no factories.People who are in rural areas just can farm and they have no enough incomes to support their families.They have to leave their children and work at cities.Secondly,many city’s schools refuse admitting children of migrant workers because of the household registration policy.Some parents are really want to take after their children by themselves and live together with them.However,their children can’t commonly go to school,and at least,they can go to school if they stay at home.Additional,the wages of migrant workers are too low,even if the problem of household registration policy is solved,maybe they still can’t take their children to cities.The expanses in cities are high,and they can’t support their children in education and living.

There still have many causes of the left behind children problem.I think the government should attach much importance to them and provide some welfare policies for them.

篇二：关于留守儿童问题的英语作文The Problem of Left behind children

The Problem of Left-behind Children

During the past 30 years, with the economic development of China, more and more young people who once lived in the countryside crowd into cities with the purpose of earning enough money to support their families. Consequently, the problem of left-behind children arises.

The problem actually reflects the fact that there are millions of left-behind children facing not only living problems but also psychological problems and the latter ones count. Most left-behind children live with their grandparents. Lacking in the knowledge of how to educate children, some of their grandparents tend to spoil them while some may pay little attention to them.Feeling lonely, left-behind children are more likely to form the habit of keeping silent or staying aloneand as a result, most of them don’t do well in their study, which makes them feel inferior.Though I can’t list out every aspect of this problem, I am sure it is rather serious.

In my opinion, the key to solving the problem of left-behind children lies in the combined effort. Not only children’s parents but also our society and our government should take efficient measures to deal with it. Let’s wait and see!

篇三：关于留守儿童英文作文

China's left-behind children hungry for love

Fang Zhiqian loves the smell of firecrackers. The pungent, burning chemicals takes the 16-year-oldback to scenarios of family which he often missed during his childhood.

Zhiqian was only three years and four months old, when his mother, Xie Kui'e left their home at a plain village in Luoshan County of central China's Henan Province to look for a job.

He was seven, when his father left him and his elder brother and went to join in their mother in eastern Zhejiang Province as a pedicab driver. Zhiqian became one of the "left-behind children" in China, whose one or both parents work far away from home, leaving them taken care of by their grandparents or other relatives.

"My parents aren't in my most pleasant memories," says Zhiqian. The quiet 12th-grader is reluctant to talk about his childhood, because he always felt lonely at that time.

As China sped its way from poverty to prosperity, the world's most-populated country has confronted an old problem --- the poor-rich disparity. China's vast rural population has begun to enjoy the country's development, though later than their urban peers, as more and more farmers have moved to cities to seek fortune.

However, it's a bittersweet process for most of the wage hunters. While they earn more than they did back home, they pay the price of a family integrality. Children, like Zhiqian, are the prime victims.

A report released by the All-China Women's Federation in May reveals that China now has more than 58 million rural, left-behind children. Almost triple the figure in 2006. And over 69 percent of them are under 14. These children are inferior to peers who enjoy full family care. The left-behind are also behind in physical and psychological health and learning, and more vulnerable in security.

"The issue of the left-behind children, which is the concern for millions of migrant workers and their families, is of great importance to China's social harmony and stability," says the report. Fang's hometown Luoshan has a population of 730,000, about 90 percent of which live in rural areas. Since the mid 1980s, more than 220,000 people from Luoshan have moved to work in cities, mainly to Beijing and the eastern coastal provinces.

"They seek jobs in the construction and catering industry", says Xiong Xingming, head of the county's labor and social security bureau.

"Almost every family has at least one member working in the cities and the villages now are only home to the '38-61-99' troops." These three pairs of figures refer to the dates of Women's Day, Children's Day, and Elderly's Day in China.

Faced with the fact that the family yearly income was less than 2,000 yuan (293 U.S. dollars) in cash, Fang's mother Xie Kui'e made the difficult, practical, but heart-breaking choice between

attending her two sons and earning more money for the family.

Though she insists that she has never regretted her decision, her eyes turn red when she recalls the scene the day she left home for the first time in 1997.

"Zhiqian cried and went to lay on the ground, holding my legs and yelling 'don't go'. I managed to release myself from his arms. I ran out of the house, starting to cry," Xie recalls.

"Of course I worried that the boys would not behave when we were not around. But if we didn't leave, they might not have enough food, let alone the money for going to school."

For Zhiqian, it was hard to adapt the life of being a left-behind child. He remembers clearly the day a classmate gave him the "special title" for the first time when he was at the third grade.

"I was scared. I thought it meant that my parents were dead and I had become an orphan. I punched the boy," says Fang.

The Fang couple found a few means to maintain the connection to their boys, except for a phone call every 10 days. During the regular 30-minute conversation, they mainly talk about the children's study. Their sons' inner thoughts, however, remain unfamiliar territory, which they seldom try to explore.

The Fang couple hoped that the sons would be mature enough to understand their leaving was for the best. They thought it would also sharpen the boys' independence, but Zhiqian was still young and believed that love comes from their parents' caring all the time.

"My brother and I often asked them on the phone when they would come home. They usually repeated that we would be letting them down if we didn't study hard," complains Zhiqian. "They rarely asked how we felt about their leaving."

Xie Kui'e is ashamed that her sons see her as neglectful and uncaring. She suffered the pain of "irresponsible mother" guilt when her sons often mistakenly called her "granny" as they spent their first summer vacation with them in Zhejiang.

"But what can I do? Other children in our village live the same life," says Xie.

The Fang brothers are now both spending their last year at the Luoshan High School and preparing for the college entrance examination in June of 2010. They board at school and have one day off to see their grandparents some 90-minute ride away.

The long-time parental absence has shaped Fang. It has taught him to believe that order and disorder in his life were not due to fate or the actions of others, but self-determination.

"He is no doubt more mature than his peers. He is quiet, cautious and patient. These qualities are often seen on other left-behind children," says Fang's teacher Wang Shihai. He notes that nearly 20 percent of almost 6,000 students in the school are left-behind children.

"I often hide from strangers and I seldom talk about my worries with others," Zhiqian says. "My brother is even more withdrawn, and he has more pressures on study. He is already getting grey hair."

Independent researcher Ruan Mei has closely observed the lives of the children. She has spent four years interviewing more than 3,000 left-behind children in the six major migrant worker-exporting provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui and Henan. She just wrote a book entitled Pains Of The Century: Investigation Into China's Left-behind Children.

"The reality is astonishingly painful. What concerns me is how ignorant we are of the pains of the children. They grow upon their own," says the former reporter of the Huarong Newpaper based in Huarong County of Hunan Province.

The 44-year-old woman says two suicide cases of left-behind children inspired her to look into the issue four years ago. "One boy committed suicide for not studying well and another girl drowned herself for being pregnant. Many such cases, including rape and murder, also appeared in my investigation."

"But the most serious problem that the children face concerns their psychology. More than 40 percent of my child interviewees are obviously impaired," she says.

More than 16 percent of the children thought that their parents didn't love them and more than 80 percent said they felt insecure.

The left-behind children are usually of low self-esteem, oversensitive, and don't get along with others. Many hide their emotions and pretend to be happy.

"Their pains are like the moon during the day; invisible but it's still present," she says.

The "left-behind children" issue has aroused the attention of the Chinese government. A special work team, led by the State Council, was set up to establish a long-term strategy to protect the legitimate rights and interests of left-behind children through laws and regulations.

In addition, some local governments have provided left-behind children allowance for their living and medical care, while the Ministry of Education has built and renovated more than 10,000 boarding schools in central and western China to ensure the children receive an appropriate education.

However, Ruan insisted that family and school, the main caregivers for the children, are the key to tackle the problem.

"The educational level of adults supervising these children is generally not that high. Often they can only care for the children's safety and daily living, but their educational, behavioral and

spiritual needs," says Ruan.

She suggests that family education should be added in the vocational training programs for migrant workers to teach how to communicate and educate the children. Psychology courses and psychological teachers should be introduced in schools.

"Regular letters from their parents and chats with teachers are the best remedy," says Ruan.

Xie Kui'e went back to Luoshan in the last June to take care of the sons till they finish the college entrance examinations. She rents a flat in downtown and sends meals to the two boys everyday.

Although she is still worrying about the expense of their college education, she hopes the rare reunion would help their studies.

Her return is a great encouragement for Zhiqian, who said his happiest moments now were when he has lunch with his brother and mother.

"Now I have people to talk to about my troubles and worries. I feel supported," he says.

In the future, Xie Kui'e and Zhiqian have different pictures: Xie hopes she can support her two sons while they finish their college education. Then she will renovate their house. Zhiqian dreams of studying economics at university and going back with that knowledge to develop his hometown after graduation.

"Then, nobody will need to leave home to earn money and there will be no left-behind children anymore," he says.

Left-behind kids in China's cities

HEFEI: Xiao Yi (pseudonym) from a well-off family in an east China's provincial capital seems to have everything that children of her age desire, but she appears autistic and ill-tempered.

When at home, the seven-year-old often quarrels with her parents. She has even run away from home a couple of times.

"This is a result of her childhood experience," said her mother regretfully, in Hefei, capital of Anhui Province.

Xiao Yi's parents, both born in the late 1970s, are white collars busy with their work. Thus the girl was brought up by her nanny, who became the closest person to her.

Her parents changed her nanny when Xiao Yi was four, but she refused to talk to the new nannies.

After she went to school, she slept at a tutor's home on weekdays.

"I feel as if I am 'farmed out' by my parents. I go to my tutor's place after school, studying, eating and lodging there. I return home only on weekends," she recalled.

Although having her own tutor, she does very poorly in her studies.

Xiao Yi is just one of a large number of "left-behind" kids in urban China. Most of their parents born in the 1970s and 1980s are white collars who don't have enough time to take care of their children.

Left-behind children in rural areas have been in the spotlight for years as their parents work in cities often several thousand kilometers from home. Many of them have education and pyschological problems and are vulnerable to crimes.

Unlike their peers in rural areas, the left-behind children in cities can meet their parents every day or on weekends. But in essence, they both lack concern and caring from parents, said Wang Kaiyu, sociologist in Anhui.

“Many of my colleagues also leave their children with nannies or grandparents as they still enjoy the past DINK (double income, no kids) life," she said.

In the past, Chinese young couples tended to live with the parents of the husband. Therefore the grandparents took care of the kids in daytime while the parents stayed with them at night.

But now, she notes, young couples and their parents often live in seperate homes. Therefore, they have to send their kids to grandparents and pick them up only once a week.

The increasing need for parenting care has led to parenting clubs in some residential communities, providing new alternatives for nannies, grandparents and tutors.

But none of the options could substitute parents' care and love, experts said.

"The bad effect of shifting parenting care to nannies, teachers or grandparents will not show in the short term, but such an abnormal growing experience is a time bomb for family relations and children's characters," Wang Kaiyu said.

Yin Jianli, education expert and author of the book "Good Mother Outweighs Good Teacher", blamed the problem for conception changes in the young and often non-traditional couples.

"Unlike in the past when women were supposed to take care of the family, nowadays more and more women pursue career success," Yin said.

Most parents overlook the importance of spending more time with their children, she noted.

Have you been a university student ？

In recent days, there is a fierce debate about whether it is worth to be a college student ? To our surprise, most of the people under investigation hold the view that it is unworthy. But in my opinion, I believe it is a wise decision to be a university student.

Firstly, the establishment of an effective web of classmates. We can make good teachers and helpful friends in the university who could help us effectively improve the learning and occupation growth efficiency and they will be our precious wealth in our life. Secondly, implementation of the platform. Our university can provide us with enough information, and we could do what we want to do. University collects people of many places and of all aspects being the collection center which has value. In the University, we understand ourselves gradually closer to the truth and we are no longer proud of ourselves and improperly belittle ourselves, so we become mature gradually. Third, promoting the change of individual temperament. Changing from a rural children to city occupation person which will be shown in speech, dress and communication training, University serves as the role of institutions of good training and cultivate. Fourth, to develop the ability to think independently. In the university we have time and capacity to think about our own thinking about society . We will not repeat word for word what others say and have the ability of thinking independently and we could judge right and wrong. We have understood the complexity and diversity of society and human nature, and we will be more rational.

All in all, the university is a kind of investment, profit and loss depends on yourself. We college students should make use of existing resources to improve ourselves.

大学生了没？

Attention left-behind children

With the development of the city, more and more migrant workers into the city in search of work, although their livelihood is resolved, but there is a problem of Left-behind children. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, of which the most important are the followings:firstly, migrant workers in order to maintain the family life, had to leave home;

关注留守儿童

随着城市的发展，越来越多的农民工进入城市寻找工作，尽管他们的生计得到解决，但却存在一个关于留守儿童方面的问题。

造成这种现象的原因有很多，其中最重要的有以下几个方面：首先，农民工为了维持家庭生活，离开了家；其次，家长自身的因素是缺乏的，如他们的责任意识不强，监护责任不明确；第三，复杂的社会因素。例如，一些城市的歧视农民工子女的现象。

针对留守儿童出现的原因，我们应该主动去关爱他们，一方面，组织好个别帮扶活动，以一名志愿者与一两名留守儿童结对，让志愿者做孩子心灵成长的监护人；另一方面，组织好家庭帮扶活动，以一个有同龄孩子的家庭与一两名留守儿童结对；最后，呼吁政府也关爱留守儿童，让他们可以满足一定条件后享受异地受教育的权利。
