范文
Recently, I have read the survey from parents about “after-school classes for children”. Different parents have different ideas .
Some parents thinks kids should take after-school classes in order to get into a good university. However, some parents are strongly against it because they believe taking after-class activities make their kids under great stress.
Personally speaking, kids shouldn’t take after-school classes. Firstly, the kids already have enough stress from school. Besides, the kids study hard at school on weekdays, so they often feel tired after a week’s study. If they join in the after-school classes, it will waste their relaxing time. What’s more, it will affect (影响)their study and their grades may drop.
In short, children should have their own time to relax and do what they love to do.
Solve the problem with your parents.
Have a talk with your friends.
Accept the advice of your teachers.
Running away from problems is useless.
Enjoy your life every day.
your problem and your happiness.
Be a happy teenager from now on.
