参考范文
There are two different views toward gift-giving to teachers. 1 Many believe that it is teachers’ responsibility to teach and guide students to achieve success, and gift-giving will ruin the relationship between them. On the contrary 2 , others think that the painstaking effort by teachers should be appreciated and rewarded. Gift-giving will be a recognition of a teachers’ contribution and it is also an impetus to a teachers’ further progress.
For me, I prefer the former. 3 First of all 4 , the act of gift-giving is a kind of bribery, which sets a bad model for the whole of society and corrupts social morals. Furthermore 4 , if teachers accept the gift, their relationship with students will be distorted. Those who have sent gifts will receive more attention from teachers while those who have not will be discriminated against by teachers.
To sum up, the act is detrimental to social development in the long run and it should be prohibited. 5
对于给教师送礼，人们有两种观点。很多人认为，教育并引导孩子走向成功是教师的任务，送礼会破坏掉他们彼此之间的关系。另一些人持相反的观点，他们认为教师付出的心血需要被感激，应得到回报，送礼是对教师做出贡献的一种认可，它也是教师取得更大进步的推动力。
对我来说，我支持前者的观点。首先，送礼这种行为是一种贿赂，这为我们的整个社会树立了不好的榜样，会腐蚀社会风气。此外，如果教师接受礼物，师生关系就会扭曲。那些送礼的学生会得到教师更多的注意力，而那些没有送礼的学生会受到教师的区别对待。
总之，从长远来看，这种行为对社会的发展是有害的，需要制止。
