答案 Young Children and Education There is no denying that a child’s education is very important. At this point some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age. They believe that this will give them some advantages over those who do not enter school until the traditional school age. In my opinion, however, young children should spend most of their time playing because it will offer them more advantages than will formal schooling at the age. To begin with, childhood is a precious time in that it is the only chance that children will be carefree and innocent. Seeing that children are facing up to sixteen years or more of education, there is really no rush to start them off early. The first years of a child’s life should be for fun and games, not books and homework. It is very important that children have the chance to know that enjoying life is also an important lesson to learn. The pure joy and fun of being a child are too quickly forgotten by most people as it is. so I do not think that it is good to deprive children of that wonderful period in their lives. Not only is it important to let a child have fun just for the sake of fun, but childhood is also a productive time in terms of child development. Playing is a major contributor to the physical, mental and social development of children, and therefore, children who begin their education too early will most likely be physically weaker and socially inept. When they are playing in the park with other kids, they are using and developing their bodies, which promotes healthy growth. By learning to compromise, share, cooperate and take responsibility in play, they are developing mental health and social skills that will benefit them during their entire lives. If they are buried under academics at an early age, they will not have the opportunity to develop these all-important skills. In conclusion, school is a normal part of life, and the early years of childhood spent playing is also normal. Early childhood is a period of fun and innocence everyone should experience. This time is also necessary for physical, mental and social development. Forcing children to skip this will only distort their views of life and cause them to be less developed in many aspects.
解析     本文作者首先在开头段提出自己的观点，即小孩子不宜过早开始接受正规的学校教育。接着，作者分别从两个角度阐述原因：首先，孩提时代是一段宝贵的时光，因为这是人生中惟一一段无忧无虑、天真烂漫的日子；其次，孩提时代在孩子成长过程中也是多产的一个阶段，孩子在玩的过程中各方面都能得到发展。这两个原因从两个角度强调了孩提时代的宝贵性和玩的重要性，由此作者得出结论：迫使小孩子跳过孩提时代这个阶段不仅会扭曲他们的人生观，也会使他们在许多方面得不到充分的发展，因此，小孩子不应过早开始正规的学校教育。整篇文章结构工整，语言简洁流畅，逻辑性强。
