Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.
Learning a different
language
becomes a must for children nowadays. Experts focus on when children should start learning it. Some of them suggest learning a foreign language
from elementary school but
some prefer to start from junior high Accept comma addition
school, but
school
. For me, I agree children should learn a new language
earlier.
Experts who support children to learn a foreign language
from secondary school
think children have to learn their first
language
better to keep their culture. Also
, they think a junior high school
student is mature enough to learn a new language
well. For example
, for Chinese, there are lots of poetry written only by mandarin. This
is part of traditional culture.
However
, I think that when children study a new language
, they can learn the traditional culture at the same time. Moreover
, children can learn about different cultures from different languages and become a better person. For example
, In western countries, the relationship between parents and children is getting along as a friend. By contrast
, in Asian families, parents and children treat each other with more respect and politeness. Thus
, starting to learn a foreign language
at a younger age can provide an opportunity for children to get to know and think from a different perspective.
On the other hand
, some experts suggest children learn a foreign language
at primary school
, they think if children learn it at an early age, they will learn it more effectively because a human’s memory was better at that time. Also
, an elementary student can learn English by games, which means he or she does not have the huge stress of preparing an exam to enter high school
. For example
, from my experience, I started to learn English when I was 5 years old. During that time, learning English is really natural and spontaneous for me. Teachers played games with us in English. I do not even remember how I learned my first
sentence. It is just the same as I learned my native language
. And after I had a basic understanding of English, I had an interest in learning it as well. For me, it is just a tool to read more books and play more games, without stress.
In conclusion, due to my experience, I think the benefits of children learning a foreign language
from primary school
overweigh the shortages. They can not only learn a new language
in an easier way with interest, but also
learn different cultures and integrate them to make themselves better.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
