答案     What is the most significant factor in influencing the shaping of characters and personality of a child? Do academic subjects really render everything necessary for children’s all-round development? Most schools put major emphasis on academic teaching because it is believed that academic subjects can guarantee better future careers. However, in fact, other subjects such as literature, music and sports, are more crucial to children’s development for they can give children many things beyond academic learning, including teamwork spirit, endurance and healthy physical body.
  It is true that academic subjects can provide children with some fundamental knowledge and it is with such knowledge that they not only get further education and skills themselves, but also contribute to the material development of our country. As a result, many parents consider academic excellence as the best and even only way for their children to pursue better future careers, and academic subjects are estimated to contribute more to the development of the society than subjects like literature, music and sports. However, as far as I am concerned, academic learning is like the fundamental structure of architecture, which can only be improved and perfected by some other decorations, and that means it is supplementary subjects that can refine a child’s development.
  Learning literature can make children sensitive to things around them and help them become careful observers; music can tell children how to relax themselves and get inspirations through the power of it; sports can help build strong wills and bodies for children for it shows to them the spirit of endurance and teamwork.  We know that all these qualities are badly needed in children’s social lives in the future, especially when they get along or work with other people, when they confront difficulties or obstacles, and SO on.
  What our society needs are not people who know nothing besides their textbooks, but people who knowhow to apply what they learn, know how to appreciate and endure in their lives, in other words, people with full sensibilities and practical skills, which are not things we can expect children to learn from only academic subjects.
  In conclusion, schools should reach a balance between academic subjects and other ones, so that we can expect new generations with all-round development, who are well aware of the purpose of everything they are doing and who can contribute to the development of the society not only materially but also spiritually.
