Dear Sir,
In my opinion, it's necessary for us to take after-school classes,because these classes are good for our development.
First of all, after-school classes are good for the children’s future. They can help children get into a good high school and later a good university. What's more,some classes help children learn important skills not taught at school.(学校没教的) These skills may actually help children relax, such as playing sports or playing a musical instrument(乐器). Last but not least , I think people learn better at a younger age. Children have more time than adults, so they should learn as much as they can before the get too busy to learn new things.
In a word, if children are glad to have these after-school classes, they will benefit a lot (获益良多) from them.
Yours truly,
Linda

Dear Sir,
In my opinion, I disagree that children have all kinds of after-school classes on their weekends or holidays.
I have several reasons for this. First, Although it’s sometimes good for children to start learning from a young age, children should have time to relax and think for themselves. Second, Parents should let their kids be kids. Much pressure is not good for children. It’s even more important for children to be happy and relaxed. In addition, Students may lose the ability to learn independently.
If they only improve grades by having these lessons instead of learning hard at school,they will never make progress(取得进步) by themselves.
All in all, it’s important to have a happy child than a successful one.
Yours truly,
Linda
