▶ Your Answer :
It
has been said that it is better for children to use their time for playing with
their friends. It is true that that is very beneficial for them. They can learn
how to socialize with others and they can develop their muscles too. However, I
think that people’s childhood should be spent for their intellectual development. This is because the childhood is the most proper time for developing it and after this period, intellectual ability is not developed and established well. In this essay, I
briefly provide reasons supporting this idea.
First
of all, children can learn new things very easily. They do not have any obstacles
to impede obtaining new knowledge. For example, children learn the second
language without great efforts. Their first language does not interrupt their
way of thinking, as a result they can learn a new language within a short time.
However the case of adults is not the same as this. They already have a lot of
knowledge and common sense. Those are becomes obstacles for learning. In this regard, the childhood is the most precious time for learning new thing.
Second,
habits acquired in people’s childhood affect their whole life. To be specific,
people usually act and think based on the knowledge they learn when they were
young. For example, when people read books they can obtain a lot of information
and learn good lessons if they were taught reading skills. This skill is not
developed well in adults because of the obstacles. In this sense, the childhood is the proper time for the
skill helping intellectual development.
For
the above reasons, I believe people’s younger period is the most precious time
for establishing intellectual ability. In the time, we can learn anything new
very easily and it affects our entire life.
