英语写作：学习外语越早越好吗

比较常见的教育类中的有关外语学习题材的题目一般包括：学习外语的时间、是否应该学习外语、学习外语的目的是什么?缺乏外语天赋是否还要知难而上等。本文的题目是学习外语应该在国小学还是在中学学合适?

Topic：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?

思路指导：一般对于问优点是否大于缺点的作文，适合写单边，列举两个你认为观点的优点，然后在段落里写出这个优点另外一个观点无法达到，就突出了优点大于缺点的意思。所以，简单的“四段式，三句定全文”写法在这里特别适合。

范文：

(注：文中红色字体为三句定全文的三句，蓝色字体为相对应的小观点)

There is a controversial issue regarding appropriate time of foreign language teaching for children. Some educational institutions have developed foreign language curriculum aimed elementary school students. Personally, advantages of earlier second-language learning embody on two aspects.

First, children’s capacity to accept emerging things is stronger than teenagers. As known, young children’s self-consciousness have not been formed completely,hence new language learning may not be very difficult for them. In addition, for those teenagers who are capable of using native language proficiently, they usually consider foreign language as a subject instead of a tool, which implies that they become tired of learning foreign languages more easily.

Second, primary timetable is comparably flexible. This greater flexibility can provide more welcomed teaching methods to improve learning efficiency. For example, teachers make lectures fun and easy to understand through songs, conversations and games, these seldom occur in secondary schools’ classrooms. In general, secondary school pay more attention to disciplines and exams, which might not be beneficial to inspire students to learn foreign language.

In conclusion, young children can take advantage of earlier foreign language teaching due to better receptivity and flexible instructional methods, this is also supported by the trends that more experts state the importance of learning a foreign language in primary school.
