若水原创雅思大作文范文027-孩子上学越早越好吗？（2018年8

一、题目

Some people say that children should go to school as young as possible, while others believe that children should go to school at least 7 years old. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

二、解析

这是一道教育政策类观点型题目。题目要求考生讨论儿童上学年龄是否越早越好。上学早的好处是解放父母、早日融入集体、将来大学毕业有年龄优势；问题是过早接受正规教育妨碍儿童发挥天性、幼稚园教育给家长带来的经济压力、儿童过早离开原生家庭造成的心理阴影以及与父母感情的隔阂等等。我的观点是不一定要严格要求7岁入学，根据孩子自身和家庭情况，5-7岁之间都可接受。本道作文题目的论证思路其实题目已经限定，即儿童低龄入学的利弊及自己的看法。

三、正文

1、引言段

Children are our future, hence the optimal education of them matters hugely to the sustainable development and progress of our society. As for the issue of the most appropriate age for the younger generation to attend school there arise two opposing views. On the one hand, some people believe kids should go to school as young as possible; yet on the other hand, it is considered that youngsters shouldn’t go to school until they are seven years old. In the  following essay, I’d like to discuss both positions and put forward my own views at the end. （本段我从儿童教育大背景切入，改述题目导入话题。）

2、主体#1大段

To begin with, the main arguments of those who advocate earlier school age of kids are that  it could liberate the parents, allow the kids to integrate with the collective earlier and graduate from the university with an age edge compared with their peers.

Firstly, when the young kids are sent to school, then their young parents could devote themselves again to their career wholeheartedly and thus improve the financial situation of the family by making more money.

Secondly, when the kids are sent to school instead of staying at home they could expose to the other kids earlier then learn earlier to interact with their peers and equip themselves with essential skills to survive in the future society. What’s more, they could experience less loneliness by hanging out with their little buddies day or night at school.

Lastly, after their graduation from university they are a couple of years younger than their schoolfellow and have more time and energy to dedicate to their prospective employment. （本主体一大段从解析里提到的三大方面论述了低龄入学的三大优势。）

3、主体#2大段

In contrast, the downsides of too earlier school education are also evident according to some opponents. One of the typical con views is that during earlier age, the most important thing for the kids is to foster the kids’ observing eyes and ingenious hands, therefore too earlier formal education might get in the way to give full play to the cultivation of the kids’nature which might pose pitiful waste and regret. On top of that, the financial burden that earlier expensive education might bring to the parents and the likely negative psychological impact on the bond between the kids and their beloved relatives should not be ignored. （本主体二大段讨论了过早上学的三大弊端。）

4、结尾段

To conclude, sending kids to school too earlier has both advantages and disadvantages. It is suggested that parents  send their kids to school within an age range of around five to seven years old based on the research findings of scientists, the kids’ individual circumstances, the family financial situation and the availability of affordable high quality primary education resources. （本结尾段总结全文提出建议。）

四、补充评析

这篇文稿字数比正式考试的250字要求稍稍超出一些，因为这是平常练笔，宜多不宜少，所以无关大局。正式考试可以考虑在首段去掉背景讨论或正方论证的例证方面酌情删减减少耗时和符合字数规定。
