An essay“ Should all children learn English from a young age?”
These days, it seems that wherever you turn, you see or hear something in what has become the world’ s lingua franca, English. Because of this, it has been suggested that all children should learn English from a young age. There are, however, both pros and cons to this complicated issue. There are many reasons why learning English at a young age is a good idea. To begin with, children learn quicker and better than adults. There minds are still developing and are receptive to new concepts. In addition, having another language when they leave school will be an incredible advantage in the job market. On the other hand, there are those that say that learning another language as a child is useless. Firstly, many children will not need another language in their daily lives. Also, that children should be concentrating on their native reading and writing skills, not those of a foreign country. To conclude, there are two very different sides to this controversial issue. It is very much a matter for the individual parents involved. But we should not forget the Czech proverb,‘ Learn a new language and get a new soul.’
An essay“ Using a newspaper as your only source of news”
When was the last time you read a newspaper from front to back page? Not surprisingly, most people get what little they know about the world from sound bites on the television. It is possible, however, to use a newspaper as a sole source of information. As with most things though, there are advantages and disadvantages. Many people consider a newspaper to be a convenient source of information. Firstly, it can go into depth on any subject. For example, it can look at the background of an issue from several perspectives. In addition, a newspaper can accompany you through the day. You can read it on the train, in the waiting room or even under the desk in the office. In contrast, there are other ways to get informed. To begin with, television gets you the news far quicker than a day-old newspaper. Moreover, television’ s ability to present images means the news comes to life in a way it could not in dead-tree format. To sum up, there are differing opinions on the validity of newspapers with strong arguments both for and against. It is really a matter of how much you want to know and how much time you have to learn it.
