Some people 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?
Several People nowadays state that
children
would be better off learning their second
language
in elementary school
than in junior high school
. In my opinion, learning a foreign language
in elementary school
is still more practical, although
there are some negative impacts but
they still can be overcome.

who are in the age of primary school
learn faster than teenagers. In this
age, they can keep any new information faster and it will store in their memory longer. For example

. As the result, studying a new language
is much better in primary school
because this
stage is what we can say is a golden time for studying another language
.
Besides
the benefits of studying a new language
in primary school
, there are also
drawbacks that we need to concern about. The first

. Another issue is children
in elementary school
psychologically do not understand the value of learning another language
. This
phenomenon happens because children
at that age are still labile and they will only do what they think is fun for them, so it will be hard for a teacher to teach them appropriately. Therefore

since it is easier to accept by the student
and there are few obstacles that children
must face in this
stage. Hence
, the government must find a way to solve the problem of the lack of qualifications of teachers in elementary school
, so that in the future all of the students
in primary school
can learn a foreign language
much better.Submitted by tryaw2014 on

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.
