I agree with the idea that children should
start learning a foreign language very early. I am going to write about the
reasons why I agree with.
First,
people can acquire a foreign language faster by starting learning it very
early. Children tend to have a greater ability to learn than adults do, which
makes it important to start learning early. For example, I have a ten-year old
cousin who speaks English fluently. He started learning English when he was five
years old. In other words, the earlier people start learning a foreign language,
the faster they acquire it.
Second, people
can have more opportunities to talk with people from another country by
starting learning a foreign language very early. For example, when I was in elementary
school, I was spoken by foreign people. However, I did not talk with them at
all because I had not learned English. If I had learned English earlier, I
could have enjoyed talking with them. In short, learning a foreign language very
early enables us to have more chances to talk with foreign people.
In
conclusion, I agree with the idea that children should start learning a foreign
language very early. By doing so, people have chances to acquire the language and
talk with foreign people. Although mother tongue is very important for
children, they should start learning a foreign language very early.
