Read the opinions below and make notes on your own opinions.
Why should children take after-school classes
“After-school classes can help kids get into a good university.”
2. “I want my child to be a successful person.”
3. “It’s good for children to start learning from a young age.”
Your opinions
Agree:
After-school classes are good for the children’s future. They can help children get into good schools and universities.
Some of these classes help children get better grades at school. Better grades help children feel good about themselves.
Some classes help children learn important skills not taught at school. These skills may actually help children relax, e.g. playing a sport or playing a musical instrument.
People learn better at a younger age. Children have more time than adults, so they should learn as much as they can before they get too busy to learn new things.
Your opinions
Disagree:
After-school classes take away the children’s free time. Children have no time to relax and just do nothing.
Children may be so busy they have no time to absorb and apply what they have been taught.
Some children are made to learn skills they are not interested in. These classes cause the children to be stressed. These classes take away the children’s childhood, too.
3b
Write a letter to the magazine to express your opinions on after-school classes for children. Use the following expressions to help you.
Try to write two paragraphs. First, say if you agree or disagree. Dear …, I don’t really agree with … because … Although some parents are right about …, I think children should … Then, explain why.
In my opinion, it is important for children / parents to …
I believe it is better if children / parents … so that …
Perhaps children / parents should / could …
If children …, they will…
Dear Sir or Madam,
I don’t really agree with what parents are saying about after-school classes because they only seem to think about getting their children into good schools, or having successful children.
Possible answer
Although some parents are right about the importance of learning from a young age, I think children should be allowed to be children and have a carefree childhood.
In my opinion, it is important for parents not to push their children too hard. I believe it is better
if parents try to really understand their children’s interests and abilities first so that they will not make their children take classes that are not suitable for them.
Perhaps parents could let their children decide themselves if they want to have any after-school classes. If children are allowed to take the classes they choose for themselves, they will benefit more from these classes. They will grow up to be not only successful in their own way, but happy too.
Yours truly,
Weisong

How to Communicate with Our Parents
Communication with parents is one of the first things we have done since we were born. As we grow older, we’ll find it’s not easy to communicate with our parents openly and effectively. So what should we do when communicating with them Here are some of my ideas.
Firstly, we can make a list of things our parents and we disagree about most. We should try to find out the reasons why we disagree with each other. If we still have disagreements, we’d better not get too angry. Instead, be nice to each other. Secondly, we should talk with them more! Sharing ideas can make us closer.
Besides, we should also learn how to really listen. In my opinion, listening is a skill that we must learn and practice. Finally, we can offer to help when our parents do housework.
I hope the advice will work out so that we will get on well with our parents!

How to Get Relaxed
Last week we had a discussion about the ways to get relaxed. Some students thought we could get relaxed by communicating with parents and friends. And we could also go to the movies and go sightseeing to relax ourselves. Other students said they would like to have sports or listen to music to get relaxed. In my opinion, relaxing is important. When we are stressed out, we can’t study well. So we need to relax ourselves. We can do sports, play computer games or listen to music when we are under too much pressure. We can go shopping or take vacations, too. In this way, we can get better grades and enjoy the colorful life.
