As far as Im concerned, there are many reasons behind the gap and it will change in the future.引言部分：作者先概述了题目给出的内容，这点很重要，如果只是简单复述，会留下文字驾驭能力不足的印象。接着明确说明下文要写的内容：原因和未来的趋势 。In my opinion, the main reason lies in the sense of independence. American students are taught to be independent when they are very young. For example, they will have to earn their own pocket money by helping with the house chores or doing part-time jobs since their childhood. On the contrary, Chinese students are taken such good are of that it is very difficult for them to live on eir own. In other words, American parents treat their children in college as responsible adults while Chinese parents will take it for granted that they should help their children in all ways as long as the children need it. As a result, Chinese American peers do. Whats more, Chinese students have fewer opportunities to find part-time jobs.主体部分：作者重点给出了一个独立性差异的原因，并进而引申说明父母观点的差异导致了孩子独立性的差异，这里除了运用对比以外还通过举例证明自己的观点。除此以外，作者另外说明中国学生找兼职的机会少，这也是造成这一差异的原因。However, the gap will narrow gradually in the future. Nowadays more and more Chinese students are seeking part-time jobs as theyre eager to acquire some social skills and earn some money, which will help them to do more in school and to live independently. As to the American students, I think the sources of American students income will remain the same.总结部分：这个结尾是属于预测性的，认为这种差异会慢慢缩小，并给出了原因。亮点回放1. rely: “依靠”，常用搭配为rely on sb. for sth. ，近义词为depend on sb. for sth.。2. financial support: “财务支持” ；这里用的是一个比较正式的说法 ，非正式 的说法其实就是money 。3. counterpart :“对手 、职位（地 位 ）相当的人 ”；这是个正式用词，其实就是指American students。4. behind the gap: “在这差异背后”；实际上在这里这个词组是“解释这个差异”的意思。5. lie in: “在于”；也可以用consist in来代替 。6. pocket money: “零花钱”；此处也可以用allowance来代替 。7. house chores: “家务活” ；也可以用family chores来代替 。8. in other words: “换句话说” ，在这里其实起到了一个递进的作用 。9. take it for granted: “想当然认为” ；该词组 中的it是形式宾语 ，词组后面要接that从句 ，或者直接将宾语放在 中间 ，变成take . for granted。10. peer : “同辈” ；此处和上文 的counterpart为近义词 ，本文
