A letter from a parent
Dear Ms.Cao,
I think it's important for children to take after-school classes because these classes are good for their development.
Firstly,competition starts very young and continues when they get older.It’s better for children to start learning from a young age so that they can compete and win. Secondly, some classes help children learn important skills that are not taught at school. These skills may actually help children relax. What’s more, after-school classes can help children get into a good university. My neighbor’s daughter used to be weak in math, she took a math class on weekends for a year. As a result, her grades got better and she successfully got into a good school.
In a word, if children are happy to have these after-school classes, they will benefit(获益良多) a lot from them.
