My idea about starting learning a foreign language very early (TOEFL)


          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.
