Warm-up
Why should children take after-school classes
3a
A magazine interviewed some parents about after-school classes for children. Read the opinions below and make notes on your own opinions.
I agree. It’s still important to get into a good university in China. We can learn exam skills so that we can get into a good high school and later a good university.
I disagree. Many factors may influenced in one’s life. Even though one goes to a good university, he may still can’t be successful.
I agree. Many great people learn things from a very young age. If the child is gifted in some area, it’s helpful to learn it from a young age.
Your opinions
1. “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.”
Warm-up
I disagree. People shouldn’t push their kids so hard. Parents shouldn’t send their small kids to all kinds of classes. They shouldn’t always compare their children with other children. I believe it’s better to let the kids be kids.
If you’re Linda Miller. Tell us your opinion about after-school classes.
If you are Tyler Swift. Tell us your opinion about after-school classes.
I disagree. In my opinion, all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. Kids should have time to relax and have fun. If there’s too much pressure, it will be bad for a child’s development. I think it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even better to have happy children.
Warm-up
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.

My opinion about sending kids to all kinds of after-school classes…..
One possible version
Dear Sir or Madam,
I don’t agree with the idea of sending kids to after-school classes. Because all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. It’s not good for a child’s development.
In my opinion, kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. I think it’s better that parents shouldn’t compare their children with other children. It’s crazy and not fair. Perhaps parents should let their kids be kids. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.

These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes.

However, this doesn't only happen in China.

The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor's three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children's future. I really want them to be successful.” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.
