Schools should not force children to learn a foreign language. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

#schools #force #children #language
It is true that
children
 should not be forced to study another
language
. While I believe that
children
 should be encouraged to learn a foreign
language
, I disagree completely that schools force their
pupils
 to do so. On the one hand, there are several reasons why students should learn another
language
.
Firstly
, through learning another
language
, students can know about the culture of the country.
Thus
, they can immerse themselves in the culture of that country whose
language
 they are learning.
Secondly
,
pupils
 can access information in another
language
.
For example
,
pupils
 can enjoy websites or books which only available in English.
On the other hand
, schools should not force their
children
 to learn a new
language
.

first
 reason is that
children
 can not learn efficiently under compulsion.
Thus
, enthusiastic teachers should select stimulating teaching activities. Another reason is that
children
 will not be motivated to study if they do not see why
this
language
 may be relevant to their present or future lives.
For instance
, if
pupils
 are certain that they do not use English in the future, they should not be forced to learn English. In conclusion, students should be encouraged, but not be forced, to study another
language
.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
