Task

Write your response to the following situation. Some believe a foreign language should be taught from early childhood, even in kindergarten, because children pick it up easily. Others think a child must first master the mother tongue and that an early foreign language harms it. • Write in a journalistic (publicistic) style. • Express your ideas logically and coherently, following the norms of the literary language. The essay must have three parts: I. Introduction. 1) Two or three sentences; 2) do not copy the text of the situation word for word. II. Main body. 1) At least three paragraphs; in each, discuss the positions of both sides and your own view in detail; 2) support the different views with real-life examples; 3) present your own reasoning in detail and with evidence; 4) everything must stay within the topic. III. Conclusion. 1) Summarise the ideas of the main body; 2) two or three sentences. NOTE: Do not write an outline or an epigraph.
