Should Children Study Foreign Languages in Elementary School?

このQ&Aのポイント
  • In my opinion, children should not study a foreign language in an elementary school. While learning another language has its benefits, it is important for children to first master their own language. Their mother tongue plays a crucial role in their lives and helps establish their identity. Additionally, elementary school children already have a heavy workload, making it unwise to add the burden of learning a foreign language.
  • Learning a foreign language in elementary school has its advantages, such as the ability to communicate with people who speak the language and gaining a new perspective on the world. However, I believe that children should focus on mastering their own language first, as it plays a vital role in their lives and helps shape their identity. Moreover, the workload in elementary school is already significant, making it impractical to introduce another subject that can add to their burden.
  • While it is true that learning a foreign language has its benefits, I am of the opinion that children should not study a foreign language in elementary school.

It is true that learning another language enables us to communicate with people who speak the language, and to see the world in a new way.

以下のように添削しました。 In my opinion, children should not study a foreign language in an (an を削除) elementary school. It is true that learning another language enables us to communicate with people who speak the language, and to see the world in a new way. However, I believe that people (children かstudentsのほうがいいかも) in their early days ought to learn their own language deeply (in depthの方がいいと思います). It is because mother tongue has a very important role in their lives, and peole (スペルpeople またはchildren, young people) could establish their identity by studying it enough (.代わりの語: deeply; in depth; thoroughly; など) Furthermore, children in an (削除) elementary school already have many subjects to study, so it is not able to be (cannot be; またはshould not be) thought of (of削除) as a wise (あるいはfeasible) selection (あるいはdecision) to made (loadの方がいいでしょう。不定詞ですから過去形は使えません。,makeなら文法的にはいいですが、意味からしてloadの方がいいでしょう。) children (まえにchildrenと言っていますから、themにしましょう) have more burden. For these reasons, I emphasize that children should study their own language deeply insted of learnig foreign languages(下記参照). <解説> an elementary school. - どこと特定はしないがどこかにあるひとつの学校、(特定する場合は the)。ここでは一般にシステムとしての小学校課程ということだから無冠詞。 enough: - 十分にあると言う意味で、「もういっぱい」という感じの十分です。「十分に学んで」という語感とはちがいます。この文章で一番直したいところです。thoroughly「完璧に」がいいと思います。 一番最初に a foreign language ではじまって、最後に foreign languages で終わるのはなんとなくすわりが悪いです。どっちかに統一した方がいい 。私なら a foreign language にします。 私の意見はご質問者とは異なりますが.

    2007年の早稲田大学法学部の問題です。 Students at many universities in Japan are required to study a foreign language, usually English. Some universities require students to study more than one foreign language. Some people say universities should not require students to study a foreign language at all. Which do you think is the best policy? Write a paragraph explaining your opinion. Give at least one appropriate reason to support your answer. I agree with the request for students to study more than one foreign language.This is because not only japan but also other countrise all over the world have been heading for the globarization and foreign languages,especially English have been getting more and more important.If they don’t learn more than one language at their college,they may be left from international society.It is true that foreign languages are not necessary to some of them.However,they should not ignore the fact that there are international disputs around the world.So,they need to study foreign languages so that they can understand other countrise. 合格点(6,7割)を目指しているのですが、この程度ではやはり程遠いでしょうか? アドバイスや感想などありましたらよろしくお願いします。

    月末に大学入試を控えている高校3年生です。 文法ミスやもっと適切な表現がありましたら、ご指導いただけるとありがたいです。 テーマ:小中学生に携帯を持たせることの是非 In my opinion, children in elementary school or secondary school should not have a cell phone. It is true that a cell phone is very useful, and it enables them to communicate with their friends or parents easliy at any time. However, a careless use of a cell phone often brings about serious problems. Recently, many children have been involved in crimes by use of a cell phone. They are sometimes killed by people with whome they became acquainted in an Internet community site. Children have a poor knowledge to protect themselves. When we think about whether children can use communication tools appropriately or not, we will believe that they cannot do. So I want to emphasize that parents should not have their children carry a cell phone.

    英語が得意ではありませんが、出来る限りのことをやりつくしたいと思っています。 初歩的ミス、スペルミスなども多いかと思います。 些細なことでもお気づきの点はご指摘お願いいたします。 設問 「日本の小学生は英語の必履修が必要か」ついて賛成か反対か I agree with this idea. Firstly, children can learn everything instantly. This reason is that children have good memory faster than adults. When I was eight years old, I went to English school. I sung a lot of songs in English. Especially, it was the nicest time for me. Now, it has been ten years since then. But I remember these songs. So, it is easy to study English. Moreover, it only can be in childhood. Secondly, there is a global age now. They have many times to talk to foreigner in English. If do not speak English, they could not understand what happen in world, because English is international language. In addition, leaning language is that they can know many cultures. So, Japanese elementary student have to learn English for their future.
