Should parents send their kids to art classes?

　　A child's world is supposed to be fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. Unfortunately, this is not the case for some kids, especially for those born and bred in cities —— their joys are dimmed and even lost because a majority of them are forced to attend various art classes.

　　Some claim that it is beneficial for children's development. They might have their reasons because most parents are convinced that their kids are gifted gifts from the god. They presume that the earlier their children are exposed to arts, the more likely it is to find out the artistic potential hidden in them. Even if their children fail to become another child prodigy like Lang Lang or Li Yundi, the interests in arts, say, in music, cultivated in childhood will be of great value in their whole life.

　　In spite of the possible benefits mentioned, I, like others, am strongly against it. The major harm is that it might deprive children of their pleasure to play after school. Faced with competition and contest for better universities, most children are buried in piles of homework. Forcing them to art classes will leave them less time to enjoy the beauty of the nature or to find their talent in things they are really interested in.

　　To sum up, childhood is a time for children to play as they wish. Rather than cramming knowledge, it is more important to pave the way for their desire to know than to put them on a diet of facts they are not ready to assimilate.

Should parents send their kids to art classes?

　　Recently there has been much discussion as to the desirablity of parents sending their kids to various art classes. Generally, there are two camps of views on this phenomenon.

　　Some parents believe that childhood is the golden time for developing artistic talents in their children. A friend of mine told me that he wants his son to become a pianist like Langlang. “But if my son does not start from an early age, it's only an unachievable dream,” he exclaimed. So he sends his five-year-old kid to piano classes every Saturday, rain or shine. Others, however voiced a different opinion. Their main argument is that attending art classes will impair the health of these children, who have toiled for five days at school. To materialize their parents' dream, many kids have to burn the candle at both ends.

　　Personally, I am not in favor of sending all kids to art classes. As a proverb goes, “Love is the best teacher.” Parents should first of all find out whether their kids love the art or not. You can lead a horse to a river, but can you make him drink? （188 words）

　　評析：

　　本文與2009年6月的六級作文一樣，屬于對立觀點(diǎn)型文章，這種文章難點(diǎn)在于要求學(xué)生具有一定的思辨能力。但是，如果同學(xué)們在上海學(xué)校國內(nèi)考試部接受過六級培訓(xùn)的話，應(yīng)付這種題目應(yīng)該不在話下，因?yàn)槔蠋煏?huì)給同學(xué)們提出一種簡單易行的寫作套路和地道實(shí)用的寫作句型。

　　建議同學(xué)們把本文寫成三個(gè)段落，題目中的第一點(diǎn)宜拓展成引言段，引出本文所討論的話題。第二點(diǎn)宜拓展成主題段，這部分是文章的重心所在，一定要濃墨重彩，寫得豐滿翔實(shí)。在這一部分，同學(xué)們可以緊扣題綱，先寫贊成送孩子參加藝術(shù)班的觀點(diǎn)，然后再寫反對者的觀點(diǎn)，在分量上兩部分要基本保持平衡。

　　題目的第三點(diǎn)宜寫成結(jié)尾段，表明自己的觀點(diǎn)。持何種觀點(diǎn)并不重要，所以同學(xué)們可以在這一段里根據(jù)自己的知識儲備來決定自己贊成主體段中的哪種觀點(diǎn)，當(dāng)然也可以提出一種更加新穎獨(dú)到的觀點(diǎn)，如本文的結(jié)尾段指出，家長首先要弄明白自己的孩子是否喜歡某一門藝術(shù)，否則，你可以把馬牽到河邊，但你能強(qiáng)迫它喝水嗎？
