A magazine interviewed some parents about after-school classes for children. Read the opinions below and make notes on your own opinions.
Why should children take J after-school classes 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.
Agree:
Disagree:
If you are Linda Miller, tell us your opinion
about after-school classes.
If you are Dr. Alice Green, tell us your opinion about after-school classes.
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.
I disagree. In my opinion, all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves. If there's too much pressure, it will be bad for a child’s development. Although it's normal to want successful children, it's even more important to have happy children.
Sample writing
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 to feel good about themselves.
Some classes help children to 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.
Sample writing
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 (理解, 掌握) 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.
