an ielts eassy,please help me! Some people think it is beneficial for kids to study a second language when in primary school.I do support the idea,although there are some disadvantages. According to a scientific research,people’s thinking are more active when they are young especially in elementary school,which reflects that primary students are more easy to understand and accept new knowledge.That’s to say children would be less toilsome to be taught step by step from an early age.Besides,the competition among among teenagers are increasingly severe,while learning a foreign language as early as possible may give kids more possibilities to stand out among their contemporaries.Take me as an example,I learned English from grade three and when I entered middle school,I was more excellent in English learning than any other classmate of mine,so I was chosen to make a speech in English in front of the whole school. On the contrary,I can not deny there are also some disadvantages.Firstly,Children would lose their leisure time if they were asked to study English when they should have been playing with friends happily and blissfully.When I was young,I always admire those who are free to play in the yard at the moment when I had to stay at home and repeat the boring words once and once again.These really exerted a lot of pressure on my emaciate shoulders.And,the overmuch time spent on English may affect student’s other subjects,like Chinese and math,which should be laid a good foundation at primary school. Above all,although there are some disadvantages of learning a foreign language at elementary school,the advantages are outweigh then in the long term.
