答案    Nowadays, children begin to learn a second language even in kindergarten. Some professionals believe that it is better for children to start learning a foreign language from primary school. In the following passage I will discuss the mass advantages of it and also list some disadvantages.
   To some extent, it is truly beneficial that schools may offer optional L2(Second Language) courses. To start with, a primary school student has more leisure time than the one in secondary school. Scientifically speaking, as several physiological experiments published on Proceedings of the National Academy of Science have revealed, the left hemisphere of the brain, which monitors the function of language capacity, will gradually pass hand over this job to the right hemisphere when one gets older. Besides, scientists have found out that learning languages with more participation of the left hemisphere has higher efficiency and is of great help to one’s memorisation. These two findings clearly unveiled why toddlers are more adept in learning a new language than adults. Thus, it is not uncommon to see many children with outstanding linguistic gifts grasp a secondary language as proficiently as their mother language.
   However, it may be hard to acquire a foreign language if a child does not understand what he/she is learning, because the recognition level is still not high enough in childhood to accomplish such a laborious task. That will not be a significant problem if the second language is taught in middle school, as teenagers are considerably more mature and have more chances being exchange students to other nations. The immersive learning atmosphere plus the clear self-image of teenagers will contribute a lot in learning a foreign language.
   In conclusion, it is good news for our society that most primary schools have L2 courses. Familiarity with a foreign language in early ages is beneficial both socially and physiologically. However, to let a pupil have better understanding in the second language, schools and parents should provide more opportunities to let them use it, thus making the learning curve increase smoothly to secondary school phase.
