翻译：一些人认为，孩子应该在很小的时候就开始接受正规教育，另外一些人认为，孩子应该到7岁再接受正规教育，讨论双方观点，并给出自己的看法。

话题：教育类

类型：双边讨论型

关键词：formal education,at a very early age,at least 7 years old

分析：

本题探讨儿童多少岁上学合适。

既然咱雅思出了这道题，那么一定是早有早的理，晚有晚的理

在英国，法定正规教育的年龄是5岁，也就是野原新之助小朋友的年龄哦，目前不少英国预备小学可能最早在孩子2岁时便可以接受其入学。

越早接受正规教育，孩子被开发的就越早，然后就可以实现16岁上大学的天才梦了......

但是这么早入学一定也是有很多危害的，试想，如果孩子小小年纪就天天背着小书包去上学，那么他们玩耍的时间一定会变少，而玩耍对于孩子的后天发展有着至关重要的意义：

Play enables early humans to become powerful learners and problem-solvers-玩耍帮助孩子们提高问题解决能力成为更好的学习者。

Much of children’s play involves pretending that one thing represents another,for example that a cardboard box is a space ship.This ability is thought to be unique to humans and underpins language,drawing and other ways in which we convey meaning.-孩子们的许多游戏都包含假装一件事代表另一件事，例如一个纸箱就代表一艘太空船。这种能力被认为是人类独有的，是语言、绘画和其他传达意义的方式的基础。

Through all kinds of physical,constructional and social play,children become more aware of,and more in control of,their physical and mental activity.-通过各种体育，建造模型和社交游戏，孩子们对他们的身体和心理活动有了更多的认识和控制。

无论是对于儿童还是动物幼崽（参见剑桥雅思4Test2阅读文章：Play is a Serious Business），玩耍都是很重要很有意义的，所以年少不要急着当学霸，快快站起来玩耍

范文：

There has been growing momentum（名词：势头）（growing momentum合在一起表示more and more pressure)in recent years towards movements for children to start schooling（学校教育，对应词parenting-家庭教育）after the age of 7.In my opinion,although going to school from a young age will help with social development,children should be allowed to grow outside school until the age of 7.

（开头段：背景介绍+个人观点表达，在表达个人观点时使用了-although+反方观点，我方观点-的结构，简洁明了，推荐模仿使用）

Proponents（正方，支持者，可以替换advocates,supporters,反义词：opponents，critics这几组词大家可以进行背诵，是雅思写作主体段中经常可以用到替换people的更精 准词汇）of early schooling often point out the clinical research(此处=evidence)on the impact of school on social skills（好搭配：the impact of A on B).At home,children are exposed to（暴露于）a variety of different circumstances.They may or may not have siblings（兄弟姐妹）,their parents might take them out for playdates often or neglect them at home,hampering（动词：阻碍，妨碍=hold back）their social skills.Once children start school,they are all in more or less an equal environment where they must communicate with older and younger children,compromise when playing,learn to listen to their teachers,and start forming stable bonds(情感纽带）(form stable bonds=develop long-term relationships)based on empathy and shared interests with others.

（论证第 一方观点-早上学的好处,优点：作者在展开时书写的非常具体）

Despite the social advantages（此处承上启下）,children can develop more uniquely（独特地）if they are allowed to delay their entrance to formal schooling.A good example of this is in Finland（给出具体例子）,where students do not begin school until after the age of 7.Finland is renowned（名声，名望）for its top-performing students（好的修饰）but this can be traced to（追踪于，追究于）a number of factors besides simply school age.However,the impact on individual development is apparent（好搭配：the impact on….is apparent).According to research into child psychology,children form the basis of their personality between the ages of 4 and 7.Therefore it is paramount（至高的，主要的=important）to delay the age when they begin school in order to give them room to breath and ultimately produce a greater variety of voices in society at large as has been the case in Finland.

（论证第二方观点-晚上学的好处，优点：作者给出了非常具体的例子）

In my opinion,the social benefits of school do not outweigh the individual positives of delayed schooling to both the individual and society.Schools should continue to research this area so that they can better advise policymakers（决策者，=politicians/officials/leaders在很多雅思考题中，我们可以用policymakers替换government).

(结尾段：总结+重申自己的观点）

好词：

1.hamper:动词-妨碍，阻碍-to prevent someone doing something easily

常见修饰搭配：

+名词：hamper the development of…..

副词+：badly/greatly/seriously/severely+hamper…..

2.paramount:形容词-至上的，首要的-more important than anything else

小伙伴们在使用这个词的时候，可以用sth is paramount或者sth is of paramount importance.

eg.There are many priorities,but reducing the budget deficit is paramount/is of paramount importance.

很多事情要优先解决，但当务之急是减少预算赤字。
