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

In
this
 modern era,
children
 should learn a foreign
language
 and some professionals believe that it should be started at primary
school
instead
 of secondary
school
. I agree that there are more advantages than disadvantages on
this
 matter. It is commonly believed that whatever you want to learn, you should begin the learning process as early as possible particularly to learn a
second
language
.
Firstly
, it is because
children
 can learn and memorise easily upon their studies at that
age
.
For instance
, if compare with
children
 and teens, teens cannot learn as fast as
children
 do because a mother
language
 has already been taken place in their brain. Whatever they studied, their brain translates and understands via based on that.
Secondly
, the
age
 of
children
 in primary
school
 has not many subjects to study compared with secondary
school
.
Therefore
, it is the best time
to begin
 the learning process for a foreign
language
.
By contrast
, some people may argue that the
age
 of
children
 in primary
school
 is too young to start to learn a
language
 and they should be probably begun at secondary
school
.
Otherwise
, it will give more disadvantages than advantages.
Moreover
, those people may believe as a disadvantage that education in primary
school
 is the foundation of their kids' life so that
school
 should be taught only related basic core subjects. The
second
language
 is not important for
this
age
. To sum up, I support the idea that
to begin
 learning a
second
language
 for
children
 at primary
school
 has more advantages.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
