答案 Younger children nowadays are learning a lot of subjects in schools, such as math, language, science and history. It has been proposed by some people that they should be required to study art and music as well. From my point of view, this is a good proposition because younger children would benefit much from art and music. To begin with, younger children usually have a high level of creativity, likely to create things in ways that adults are not able to. As we all know, art and music are all about creativity. Younger children can exhibit their talents in these two subjects more than in others such as math and history, which are more about logic and facts. Therefore, learning arts and music at a young age is a very suitable choice. These two subjects would also be a very good complement to the current curriculum. The two subjects provide the rare opportunities for young children to show their personalities and preferences. They can, not only be beneficial to the well-being of young children, but also help teachers and parents learn more about the children and thus be more informed about how to educate and guide them. In the context of today’s pre-school and primary school education, younger children are facing more pressure. Parents are anxious that their children are lagging behind, so they are eager to ask their children to learn more ’useful’ subjects such as math and language in advance. However, it would probably be in vain because younger children may not be intellectually prepared for the heavy learning tasks at their age. On the contrary, art and music classes in schools may help relieve pressure. What’s more, children can also develop some hobbies in these two areas and even find their real interests. Some people may argue that adding these two subjects would increase the burden of young children, but in fact, art and music are more about appreciation and happiness. Unlike other subjects where there are objective criteria to judge what is right and what is wrong, art and music have no right and wrong. When younger children are taught art and music, learning how to appreciate beauty, they would be free from extra pressure caused by exam results. The enhancement of aesthetics ability is also complementary to the overall improvement of the education level of citizens.
解析     第1段：介绍大背景，并引出话题。提出自己观点——孩子能从艺术和音乐中获益。
    第2段：就自己的观点，具体分析原因。给出第一个原因，即小孩具有很强的创造力。第一个原因的具体论述：正面论证艺术和音乐与创造力的关联；通过它们与历史和数学等领域的对比，凸显幼小的孩子在这两门学科上的发挥空间。总结第一个原因，重申论点，给出的第二个原因即艺术和音乐是对现有课程的补充。对这个原因进行具体论述——从孩子、家长和老师的角度出发，提出具体的好处。
    第3段：继续分析选择立场的原因，衔接自然，没有生硬地按照首先、其次、再者等的顺序描述。提出当今的教育大背景，具体描写了当今背景下的教育现状——父母为了不让孩子落后于人，要求孩子学习“有用的”学科。话锋一转，使用However引出自己对这个教育现状的不满。凸显学习艺术和音乐的好处，形成强烈对比。
    第4段：假设对方立场可能提出的辩驳，从反面论证自己的观点。提出对方观点，并用自己的观点来驳斥对方的观点。后面继续展开，并通过对比和举例来佐证自己的立场。最后将话题提高到了公民整体教育水平的高度，既呼应和升华了第2段第二个原因，又作了全文的总结。
