Question

如今，越来越多的中国人意识到英语的重要性，不少家长让孩子从幼儿时开始学英语。他们认为幼儿学英语有以下几种好处：

1．外语学习有利于幼儿智力的开发；

       2．越早开始学习外语，受母语的干扰越小；

       3．为孩子的未来发展奠定良好的基础。

请写一篇120词左右的短文，介绍以上家长的观点，并阐述你对此事的看法。

       参考词汇:    智力的intellectual    干扰  interference

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．
