Why should children take after-school classes
探究点1 Talking
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.
Your opinions:
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.
2. “I want my child to be a successful person.”
Your opinions:
Why should children take after-school classes
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.
3. “It’s good for children to start learning from at a young age.”
Why should children take after-school classes
Your opinions:
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.
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.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Although some people agree with the idea, but 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.
