Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Which view do you agree with? Why? Playing is Important to Children Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age. In my opinion, however, young children should spend most of their time playing because it will offer more advantages than will formal schooling at that age. One advantage to a child of spending his early years outside of school is that he can learn many things that formal schooling does not teach, such as how to take care of himself and how to cope with an ever-expanding world. In addition, he will have a better opportunity to develop a good relationship with his family. Another reason not to send a child to school too early is that he may not be ready. If he is not prepared to deal with the rules and the pressure of schoolwork, he may become discouraged and develop a negative attitude toward school. For all of these reasons, I believe that it is not beneficial to young children to begin formal education too soon. (责任编辑:英语作文网) |
