Some people believe that all children should learn a foreign language from the time the start school, while others feel it is better to wait until a child is at secondary school. Discuss both the sides and give your own opinion.
Introduction
In today’s globalized economy, the ability to speak a second language
is more useful than ever before.
While some believe that
children should only start to learn a foreign language at secondary
school,
I side with those who feel the learning process should begin the moment children enter the
education system.
(To write a band 7 introduction follow this :
1.
Introduction should be of 2 sentences. (To showcase your GRA)
2.
Second sentence should be a complex sentence with paraphrasing of a
question and a clear opinion. The bold letters here will help you to
form such sentence.)
Body Passage 1
On the one hand, it could be argued that the study of foreign languages should wait. Those in favour of
postponement argue that
young school children already have a lot more other learning activities
like how to read, write and count which should take precedence over second
language learning.
In short, they feel
that the native language should come first. What is more, they also argue that learning a foreign language may not be helpful to each and everyone, so
it is waste time teaching a skill that for many will be redundant later in
life.
(To write a band 7 body passage 1 follow this you need to follow these
steps:
1.
Design your paragraph in 90-100 words with 4-5 sentences.
2.
Write this paragraph on other side view. “Here it is Why children should
start learning foreign language from secondary school"
3.
Start your first line with main idea of paragraph. Develop in next sentence.
Study my first two sentences with this observation.
4. Your next sentences should be on the same side and should develop the
argument by further explanation and providing example to support
it.
5.Your body passage-1 should have “Distancing Language" to show case your
grammatical range. Follow my orange colored phrases to do this. To learn it
more in depth ping me here...I'm interested in learning more.
Body Passage 2
However, I believe that second language learning should begin at primary school.
It is a fact
that the earlier a child learns a language, the more proficiently they
will eventually be able to speak it. Research has shown that before
puberty, children have a unique ability to acquire language by simply
being exposed to related resources, which is a skill that ends in adolescence.
Moreover, in my opinion, children who learn language at early age, often
overcomes the fear associates with speaking in a foreign tongue. For
instance, they do not hesitate in trying new words or asking meaning to
others, which adults usually do. However, perhaps my strongest argument
for starting early is that learning a foreign language provides children with range of other cognitive skills.
Bilingual children are known to perform better in problem solving tasks
and have more creativity than their monolingual counterparts, which are
desirable skills for children of any age, so learning a foreign language at early age will eventually help young children in developing other skills too.
To write a band 7 body passage 2 you need to follow these steps:
1. Design your paragraph in 90-100 words with 4-5 sentences.
2. Write this paragraph on your own view. “Here it is Why children should start learning foreign language from primary school".
3. The first sentence should be about the main idea of paragraph, which should further be supported by explanation and example.
4. This paragraph should clearly mention your own position. Use the phrases like “I believe, I opine, In my point of view, my argument is " and so on to do this.
Conclusion
In conclusion, although young children already have a lot of learning
loads, learning a foreign language has many positive impacts by developing
cognitive learning and improving child’s overall education. Therefore, on
balance, I strongly believe that children should start learning a second
language at primary school rather than waiting till secondary
school.
To write a band 7 conclusion you need to follow these steps:
1. Write a conclusion of 2-3 sentences.
2. The first sentence should eb the summary of main ideas of both paragraphs.
3. Final statement should reflect your position clearly.
