Mostchildren used to start attending school at their six or seven years old whilenowadays more and more children in cities start attending school from a youngage. Concerning this phenomenon, some people hold that it is good forchildren’s development to attend school in an earlier age while others entertainopposite opposition. From my point of view, I am inclined to support the formerone. The reasons are as following.

过去大多数小孩都是在六岁或七岁就开始上学，但如今越来越多城市里的小孩在还很小的时候就开始上学。对于这个现象，有些人认为小孩子早点上学有利于他们的发展，但也有人持相反看法。在我看来，我倾向于支持前者。理由如下。

First, to attend schoolfrom a young age provides a better environment for children to grow uphealthier, especially those children in cities. With the need of work, many parents incities cannot spend a lot of time with their children and that will influencechildren developing healthy. In contrary, if children have a chance to attendschool at their earlier age, they will get more chance to play with theirfellows, which is good for them to have an unforgettable childhood.

首先，早教为小孩，尤其是为城市里的小孩，提供了能让他们更加健康地成长的环境。由于工作的需要，城市里很多父母没法花费太多的时间来陪他们的孩子，这会影响孩子的健康成长。相反，如果小孩在还很小的时候就有机会上学，那他们就有机会和他们的同伴玩，这有利于他们留下一个难忘的童年。

Second, it ishelpful for children to independent from their parents. If children attendschool from a young age, they will be taught to deal with their own things atan earlier age and learn to be independent.

第二，早教也有助于小孩独立于父母。如果小孩接受早教，他们在很小的时候就会被教会处理自己的事情，学会独立。

Finally, to attendschool from young age, children have more chance to meet with different peopleand encounter various situations, which has a contribution to their adaptationto society and their practice of strain capacity.

最后，早教使得小孩拥有更多的机会遇见不同的人，不同的场合，这对于他们适应社会，锻炼他们的适应能力是有帮助的。

Therefore, Iadvocate that children should attend school from a young age. However, parentsalso need to spend more time with their children at the same time so that theycan have more chance to communicate with each other.

因此，我提倡小孩子应该接受早教。但是，同时父母也应该花更多的时间陪伴小孩，这样父母和子女之间才有更多的机会互相交流沟通。
