IELTS Writtig Task №2 Essay №2 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? Give the reason for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. How many languages do you know one, two, three or more? Usually in my country we know one native language and one foreign language which we learn during a school. In the modern world it is very important to know other languages to be able to communicate with other people from countries, to be an intelligent person and have opportunities to work in other countries. To know many languages we should study them from childhood. But in this case we consider the expert’s opinions, which say that children should begin study any foreign language in primary school, but the others think the best time to begin studying is secondary school. Considering the first opinion it is necessary to talk about pluses and minuses. The plus is children have more abilities in early age to learn foreign language than later. Supporting this opinion there is an article in magazine “Medical care” it was published that the new research shows small children have the biggest abilities to study language. The minus is it is very hard for small kids to learn language long time, for them it is necessary to learn by game, for example by singing funny songs. Following my experience I began to learn French in primary school, it was funny, and I liked it. The second opinion tells us that secondary school is better to begin studying. In this age children can study language systematically they can use special books and materials. Also they can study by themselves. But it depends on the character of the child. Many of them do not want to study so the first goal of the teacher to give the reasons, to motivate their pupils to learn languages. To sum up there are many school and many language classes. Parents and teachers can choose in that age children start learning foreign languages. But we should pay attention and consider all factors on each situation being the best for children.
