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?
In the present age,as the result of the culture diversity,learning a second language is gaining a increasing popularity.Hence,it is necessary for children to learn a foreign language,but whether should they learn it,at there primary school or at secondary school has sparked much debate.In this essay,i will put forward the comparison between them and corresponding solutions.
The experts maintain that it is better for children to start learning a foreign earlier,they may argue that the children can accept the language skills more efficient at their early age.This is primarily because the children at primary school are more like a blank book,to a large extent,it can avoid some problems,such as accent and spell customs from their mother tongue.
Furthermore,the experts insist on learning a second language earlier think that may cultivate children's interests in it.By that i mean,interests is the best teacher,which will promote the further study of language learning.
Accordingly,they will keep their interests in reading and talking,then their reading and talking abilities and skills will be uplift.

Nevertheless,there might be some negative effects of learning foreign language too early.The obvious disadvantages is that it may make children feel stressful ,which means children will spend more time on learning and practicing.Additionally, not every children have the talent on language,once they feel it's hard to handle their assignments,they may feel depressed.That's not good for the children's mental and emotional development.
However,the positive sides far outweigh the negative ones.We still need to offer a foreign language class at primary school,inculcate the language knowledge and skills,children will surely benefit from the class and have the adaptation to this cultural integration and synthesis world.

Traditionally(副词运用）,children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school,but introuduing them eariler is recommended by some educationalists.This policy has been adopted by some educational authorities or individual schools,with both positive and negative outcomes（outweigh话题点明这句）.
The obvious argument in its favour is that (句型！）young children pick up languages much more easily than teenagers.Their brains are still programmed to acquire their mother tongue,which facilitates learning another language,and unlike adolescents,they are not inhibited by self-consciousness.替换teenagers/adolescents
The greater flexibility of the primary timetable allows for more frequent，shorter sessions and for a play-centred approach,thus(转折词小词运用） maintaining learners' enthusiasm and progress(保持学习热情和进步）.Their command of the language（优秀的外语水平） in later life will benefit from this early exposure(浸淫在语言环境）,while（小词运用） learning other languages subsequently（副词运用） will be easier for them.They may also gain a better undestanding of other cultures.
There are,however,some disadvantages.(句型！）Primary school teachers are generalists(多面手）,and may not have the necessary languages skills themselves.If specialists have to be brought in to deliver these sessions,the flexibility referred to above is diminished（跟上文联系）.If primary language teaching is not standardised,secondary schools could be faced with a great variety of levels in different languages within their intake,resulting in a classroom experience which undoes the earlier gains.（长句！）There is no advantage if enthusiastic primary pupils become demotivated as soon as they change schools.However,these issues can be addressed strategically within（小词运用！） the policy adopted.
Anything which encourages language learning benefits society culturally and economically,and early exposure to language learning contributes to this.Young children's innate abilities should be harnessed to make these benefits more achievable.(结尾段可套用）
