Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Classmates are a more important influence than parents on a child's success in school. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
参考分析：
（1）要经过比较之后才能选择，并列不能一概而论(We should not make sweeping generalizations)。以下的问题可以帮助拓展思路：
1.孩子与谁相处的时间更长一些？(尽管相处时间越长不见得影响就更大) 2.孩子与谁沟通的更多一些？(很多父母缺乏与孩子进行沟通的技巧)
3.家长通过什么方式影响孩子？4.同学通过什么方式影响孩子？
（2）或者，可以使用“It depends”的策略：要看哪一方面的影响？比如：
1.饮食习惯的影响2.思考方式的影响3.审美观点的影响等。
相关题目：都是在讨论家庭以外的因素和家庭内的因素究竟哪一个影响更大一些？

Topic :Are classmates a more important influence?
I strongly agree that classmates are more influential to a child's success at school than parents. This I support with the following reasons.
A child spends so much time with his classmates at school. They study together, play together, and write exams together. Psychologists agree that during their first years at school, children are more influenced by their classmates on their emotional and mental growth.
In addition, a child has nothing to hide with his classmates in terms of academic performance. For instance, a child who does a bad job in a math exam will be revealed on his grades; a child who wins the first prize in oral debate contest will be rewarded before the whole group of students. So his classmates know both his good and bad sides. However, It is easier for a child to conceal something to his parents while describing his conduct at school--often limit to those good points.
Finally, classmates are of similar age with a child. They share so many interests in common. So a child is more attracted by his classmates' activities. If he is in a group of children who are interested in creative activities, he will more likely to think of inventing something. So classmates are very helpful in a child's success at school.
From the above discussed, I agree that classmates will influence a child more in his success because they spend more time together, they understand him better than his parents, and they have so much common interests together.
