Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school. Use specific reasons and examples to surport your position.

Language is the best means of communication. In the modern globalization era it is not enough to be able to speak one language to communicate with the outside world. I strongly support the idea that children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school. They faster become familiar with a strange language, improve their hearing ability to understand new words as time goes by and learn new words. In the following paragraphs I will list some reasons to support my position.

First of all, if one wants to see outcome soon, one must start sooner. So, the early children begin to learn new language the better will be the result. Scientists say that a child does not confuse two different languages but learns them more effectively.

Second of all, adults are often afraid to make mistakes when they are speaking in a new language. This fear is one of the biggest barriers for a person in his efforts to speak freely. Otherwise, children do not afraid of making grammatical mistakes because basically they just repeat words and sentences in the way they hear them. Also, children have a better chance to get rid of an accent. They faster get used to the right pronunciation and better feel the melody of a language.

To sum up, I think that it is very essential for children to begin learning a foreign language in their early ages. It is brings many benefits such as great pronunciation. Also, it help a child develop and gain more knowledge which is good for a long run.

Under the fast globalization, learning a foreign language tends to be a necessary. Some even advocate that children should start a foreign language since their primary school. Personally, I reckon that this proposal will cause more harm other than benefits to children.

Admittedly, it will be much more advantageous for children to learn a new language at an early age. Scientists substantiate that young kids have already formed the cognitive capability to distinguish the foreign language from their own language, let alone the children over 7 year-old. Indeed, children’s intrinsic curiosity and language gift can make it easier for them to master the foreign language compared with those who have get used to the pattern of their own language. Statistics present that most Swiss children can spontaneously master at least three languages since their 9, especially those half-breed.

However, the hazards brought by this practice might be more weighing. Initially, it will squeeze children’s time for other activities. Indeed, students at this age are supposed to cultivate a variety of interests and hobbies instead of learning a foreign language. Spending extra energy on language learning might not be such reasonable and worthwhile, since children’s spare time is actually limited.

According to the theory of opportunity cost, children will probably identify their marvelous potential in other domains with the time which they spend on language, such as playing ball games or musical instruments. In addition, learning a foreign language too early might somehow frustrate children’s initiative. To some extent, language study is not as that simple as some people imagine, especially when relevant exams are involved in the process. Once they fail in approaching it at the very beginning, they may harbor an abhorrent attitude toward any other language, which goes against the initial purpose of the language learning.

To conclude, I am convinced that starting a foreign language from the primary school will bring more unrewarding consequences. I propose that they can do it when they have stronger study ability.
