Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

There is no doubt that learning a foreign

language

is important in education.

Therefore

, it is the opinion of some experts that it is better for children to start learning a foreign

language

at elementary

school

rather than high

school

. In my opinion, I believe that the advantages of

this

statement outweigh the disadvantages.

To begin

with, the

first

possible downside of

this

development is that learning a foreign

language

in primary

school

may be a burden on some

students

.

This

is because there are some

students

who prefer to focus on learning their native

language

, which may require a lot of time and effort to learn .

For example

, young Chinese

students

find it difficult to learn another

language

because they already struggle with their native

language

. Another downside is that learning a foreign

language

might affect

students

gain in other important subjects. The reason for

this

is that learning basic subjects

such

as Mathematics is a priority in primary schools.

Thus

, some

students

might not be able to fully understand these important subjects. Having said that, the

first

advantage of

this

development is that if children learn a foreign

language

in primary schools,

this

will be beneficial for them in the long run.

This

is because when children learn the basics and rules of a

language

in

at

show examples

this

age, they are more likely to memorize what they learned easily for the rest of their lives.

For instance

, in my country, the

students

who study the English

language

in primary

school

are usually the ones to score high marks in that subject, and a lot of them were able to find better job opportunities later on. What is more, learning a foreign

language

at the primary education level can broaden

students

' horizons. To illustrate

this

, when

students

learn a foreign

language

,

this

will help them understand other countries’ cultures.

As a result

, they will gain a sense of creativity. To conclude, while there are a few disadvantages of

this

development

such

as it can be a burden on those who focus on studying their native

language

, it is my opinion that the advantages are more significant because it is the best time for

students

to learn a foreign

language

and can broaden their horizons.
