Question

如今，越來越多的中國人意識到英語的重要性，不少家長讓孩子從幼兒時開始學英語。他們認為幼兒學英語有以下幾種好處：

1．外語學習有利于幼兒智力的開發；

       2．越早開始學習外語，受母語的干擾越小；

       3．為孩子的未來發展奠定良好的基礎。

請寫一篇120詞左右的短文，介紹以上家長的觀點，并闡述你對此事的看法。

Answer 1

Nowadays more and more Chinese people realize English plays a very important role in everyday life and work, so many parents would like their children to start learning English at an early age．They think learning foreign languages is beneficial to children’s intellectual development．In addition, the earlier children start learning a foreign language, the less interference the mother tongue can cause, which makes learning much easier. They also hold the strong belief that a good knowledge of English will lay a good foundation for children’s future careers.

       Despite these advantages, I am still against babies learning English．I am worried that they may mix the Chinese pinyin with English letters．Besides, if they start learning too early, it may make them ignore how important our mother tongue is．
