Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a   very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others   believe that young children should spend most of their time playing.

　　Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?

　　Model Answer:

　　People learn through their entire lives. Curiosity was always the basic   characteristic of a human being. We always want to break limits and learn more.   At this point some people think that children should begin their formal   education at a very early age and spend most of their time on school studies.   This will help them to succeed in the future. However, for several reasons,   which I will explain bellow, I think that children should not study at a very   early age.

　　Of cause, children who begin to study at a very early age have more chances   to succeed in the future. They gain more knowledge and experience which are   priceless and valuable. In addition, studying more now they will give them the   opportunity to perfect their knowledge in the future and become better   professionals.

　　However, I think that every child must have his or her childhood. Children   should learn through playing and communication with their friends and parents. I   think that such basic qualities as kindness, self-confidence and just a good   sense of humor can not be gained from studying. Children should more time spend   with their family, playing and learning with their parents. Imagine that a child   instead of playing with his friends does his homework and feel exhausted and   tired. Another important aspect of this is that children at their early ages   need more exercise because at this age the development of their body is a very   essential aspect. Children first of all must be healthy.

　　To sum up, I think that children should have their careless childhood with   no responsibilities. Moreover, I am sure that playing helps them develop not   only their bones and muscles but their ability to make decisions, analyze   things, make conclusions, which is very good for their future.
