Why should children take after-school classes? 1. “After-school classes can help kids get into a good university.” 2. “I want my child to be a successful person.” 3. “Its good for children to start learning from a young age.” Agree: After-school classes are good for the childrens future. They can help children get into good schools and universities. Some of these classes help children get better grades at school. Better grades help children feel good about themselves. Some classes help children learn important skills not taught at school. These skills may actually help children relax, e.g. playing a sport or playing a musical instrument. People learn better at a younger age. Children have more time than adults, so they should learn as much as they can before they get too busy to learn new things. Disagree: After-school classes take away the childrens free time. Children have no time to relax and just do nothing. Children may be so busy they have no time to absorb and apply what they have been taught. Some children are made to learn skills they are not interested in. These classes cause the children to be stressed. These classes take away the childrens childhood. Dear Sir or Madam, I dont really agree with what parents are saying about after-school classes because they only seem to think that getting their children into good schools or having successful children. Although some parents are right about the importance of learning at a young age, I think children should be allowed to be children and have a carefree childhood. In my opinion, it is important for parents not to push their children too hard. I believe it is better if parents try to really understand their childrens interests and abilities first so that they will not make their children take classes that are not suitable for them. Perhaps parents could let their children decide for themselves if they want to have any after-school classes. If children are allowed to take the classes they choose for themselves, they will benefit more from these classes. They will grow up to be not only successful in their own way but happy too. Yours truly, Weisong In my opinion, if the kids really like the activity such as basketball, he can go to these classes. They may have some fun as well some skills. I dont agree that some parents push the kids to take these activities * 人民教育出版社初中英语（Go for it!)八年级下册 Unit 4 Reading Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!
