Finally，studying abroad brings a heavy burden to the

Discuss the questions with your partner.

2. What should you do to relax
In my opinion, if the kid really likes activities such as basketball training, he can go to these classes. He may have some fun as well as some skills. But I don’t agree that some parents push the kids to take these activities.
There are a lot of ways to relax. I’d like to listen to music or play sports to relax. But my friend Eric would like to sleep a lot and eat some nice food.
A magazine interviewed some parents about after-school classes for children. Read the opinions below and make notes on your own opinions.
3a
Why should children take 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:
Agree
After-school classes are good for the children’s future. They can help children get into a good school or a good university.
Some of these classes help children get better grades at school. Better grades help children to feel good about themselves.
Agree
Some classes help children to learn important skills which are 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 young 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.
Write a letter to the magazine to express your opinions on after-school classes for children. Use the following expressions to help you.
3b
Try to write two paragraphs. First, say if you agree or disagree. Dear…, I don’t really agree with… because… Although some parents are right about…, I think children should… Then, explain why.

I believe it is better if children/parents…so that…
Perhaps children/parents should/could…
If children…, they will…
in one’s opinion 依……看
可能；大概；也许
Dear Sir or Madam,
I don’t really agree with what parents are saying about after-school classes because they only seem to think about getting their children into good schools, or having successful children.
Possible answer
Although some parents are right about the importance of learning from a young age, I think children should be allowed to be children and have a carefree childhood.
In my opinion, it is important for parents not to push their children too hard. I believe it is better
if parents try to really understand their children’s interests and abilities first so that they will not make their children take classes that are not suitable for them.
Perhaps parents could let their children decide themselves if they want to have any after-school classes. If children are allowed to take the classes they choose for themselves, they will benefit more from these classes. They will grow up to be not only successful in their own way, but happy too.
Yours truly,
Weisong
