Why should children take after school classes

Your opinions
Agree:
After-school classes are good for the children’s future. They can help children get into good sohools 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 childre 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 take away the children’s childhood.

用In my opinion引出自己的观点，表明要平衡生活和学习，体现了辩证性思维
（俞彦彬 山东大学附属中学）
Dear Sir or Madam,
These days, many parents send their kids to take many after-school classes. In my opinion, it's necessary to keep a balance between after-school classes and free time.
范文赏析
采用比喻句，将学习生活化，使文章语言生动形象，增加趣味性
From my point of view, there's no need for students to take many after-school classes. If we consider study as meals, school classes are dinners while after-school classes are snacks. So it will be better for students if they can have more free time to develop some hobbies after school, like drawing or reading books.
引用谚语再次论证自己的观点，升华主题，引导大家学会平衡学习与生活
as long as引导条件状语从句强调养成良好习惯的重要性，表达更出彩
Most importantly, as long as we form good learning habits and listen to teachers carefully in class, we can also do well in study.
In short, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. It's of great importance for students to grow up in a happier and healthier way.
