In some countries, schools are teaching foreign languages for primary school children. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages ?

There is a controversial perspective heating up a debate about whether students in primary

 should be taught foreign
languages
.
Although

 phenomenon has both pros and cons, I believe that its advantages can outweigh its counterpart. Without a shadow of a doubt, learning

 a young age.
Besides
 studying compulsory subjects in the

children
 can suffer from pressure when acquiring a new
language
 due to the huge amount of knowledge they have to absorb and the overload of homework.
For example
, in Vietnam,
instead
 of enjoying themselves according to their age, many youngsters are always sitting at their desks to deal with tons of homework from nine obligatory subjects including English which makes them feel overwhelmed and depressed especially

 benefits to their development. It is irrefutable that learning a

 can help

 to be more cognitively developed compared to one who is monolingual.
For instance
, when acquiring two

 simultaneously, they will be required to use their brains more than others to process the material they have absorbed, thereby gradually training and enhancing their cognitive thinking ability to help them have a more profound way to solve any kind of situation.
Hence

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
