Should children start learning a foreign language early

Should children start learning a foreign language early?
Many people think that children should begin learning a foreign
language as soon as they start school. I agree with this point of
view. As a college student, I am convinced that learning a foreign
language is so important to our future, although it also would be a
tough job. In fact, we should begin to learn a foreign language as
early as possible. There are three reasons about it.
First, a child has a very passionate interest to study. Everyone should
agree with it, for we all have the same experience that a child always
asks you about something with full of interests. He or she always try
to understand things around them and would be eager to seek all of
answers about their questions. On the contrary, when a child grews
up, he or she maybe will lose interets on new and unknown things.
Second, Compared with adults, children have greater abilities to
study a foreign lanuage. Many studies indicate that a child can
study a language more easily and quickly, meanwhile he or she has
a good memory to remember so many words, and can distinguish
the subtle difference between two words that sound no differnce.
Third, studying a language is not a easy job, which need a long
term and continuing study. The language is not only a kind of
tool, but also a kind of culture. If we want to fully grasp a
language, we must spend a lot of time studying it.
In a word, children should study a foreign language early. It has
many advantages. As I far as I know, in my country many
elementary schools have given English lessons, which makes great
effects on stuying a language.
