題目分析
有些專家認為少年兒童從小學就應該開始學外語，而不是從中學。這種想法優大于劣嗎？
思路提示
優點;缺點
科研表明，兒童低齡時口舌肌肉尚未定型，是語言發展的重要時期
較早開始學習外語，記得快，學得多，接受能力比大齡起步效果好
通過寓教于樂的方式讓低齡兒童學習外語，可以讓其認為學外語很快樂，培養好的學習心態
缺點;優點
低齡兒童活潑好動，集中力不強，學外語效果打折扣
低齡兒童對較難的語言點難以理解
Under the fast globalization,learning a foreign language tends to be a necessary.Some even advocate that children should start a foreign language since their primary school.Personally,I reckon that this proposal will cause more harm other than benefits to children.
（首段開篇擺明觀點:讓孩子們從小學開始學習外語這一提議弊大于利）
Admittedly,it will be much more advantageous for children to learn a new language at an early age.Scientists substantiate that young kids have already formed the cognitive capability to distinguish the foreign language from their mother tongue,let alone the children over 7 year‐old.Indeed,children’s intrinsic curiosity and language gift can make it easier for them to master the foreign language compared with those who have get used to the pattern of their own language.Statistics present that most Swiss children can spontaneously master at least three languages since their 9,especially those half‐breed.
（本段是文章第二段，從觀點的反面進行讓步，使得論述更加客觀辯證）
However,the hazards brought by this practice might be greater.Initially,it will squeeze children’s time for other activities.Indeed,students at this age are supposed to cultivate a variety of interests and hobbies instead of learning a foreign language.Spending extra energy on language learning might not be such reasonable and worthwhile,since children’s spare time is actually limited.According to the theory of opportunity cost,children will probably identify their marvelous potential in other domains with the time which they spend on language,such as playing ball games or musical instruments.In addition,learning a foreign language too early might somehow frustrate children’s initiative.To some extent,language study is not as that simple as some people imagine,especially when relevant exams are involved in the process.Once they fail in approaching it at the very beginning,they may harbor an abhorrent attitude toward any other language,which goes against the initial purpose of the language learning.
（文章第三段從正面論述過早學習外語的缺點）
To conclude,I am convinced that starting a foreign language from the primary school will bring more unrewarding consequences.I propose that they can do it when they have stronger study ability.
（全文總結強調觀點）
語言表達
本文論述先從反面切入，而后從正面詳細分析，使得論述更客觀辯證。多處使用復合句，使得語言表達更加嚴謹。
Personally,I reckon that this proposal will cause more harm other than benefits to children.
句型personally,I reckon that this proposal…可用于議論文開頭評價一個做法，表明觀點。
Scientists substantiate that young kids have already formed the cognitive capability to distinguish the foreign language from their mother tongue,let alone the children over 7 year‐old.
用substantiate引用他人觀點，使得論述更加有說服力；Let alone起遞進的作用。
Once they fail in approaching it at the very beginning,they may harbor an abhorrent attitude toward any other language,which goes against the initial purpose of the language learning.
用once來假設一個情境，以表達作者觀點；which引導的非限定性定語從句修飾前一句話，表示違背了學習語言的初衷。
邏輯結構
本文是總分總的結構。作者開篇先陳述事實并表達自己的觀點，第二段先從觀點的反面切入，分析可能的好處，第三段從正面分析其缺點，使得論證更加全面、客觀辯證。最后一段作者強調觀點并且提出建議。
