learning language These days，many specialists agree that it is far more beneficial to learn a language in elementary school than it does in secondary school. It is true that the younger children, the easier they study, but there are some drawbacks. First of all, learning a language in elementary school has some positive influences. Such is human nature, that young children absorb information easily, which is connected with the growth of the brain. Young children have an innate ability to input language with delight, meanwhile playing toys. Under the no-consciousness, children possibly take considerable interest in language. In addition, at a young age, the advantage of powerful memory can help children use language in the early-exposure environment. Meanwhile, due to the much spare time in elementary school, children experience foreign culture through learning language. In spite of this, inevitably, young children who learn language in advance might be confused between the mother tongue and the second language, which can reduce the interest of domestic culture.what is more, in terms of teaching method, owing to different teaching standard, it might lead to distinctive level of language in the same classroom. However, teachers set the teaching plan based on general students. Moreover, under the exam-orientation system in china, children in high-level language might be affected by the wrong teaching method and lose interest in language. In my conclusion, even though learning language has some negative effects on children, it is far more significant for children in primary school to widen the perspective towards the world.
