Some lessons for young students (5-8 years old) increase their interest

TOPIC: Some lessons for young students (5~8 years old)increase their interest to learn including video games. But some people believe it will distract young students. What is your opinion? Why?

With the improvement of social material and educational conditions, education for young students from 5 to 8 years old is drawing an increasing attention from the public and there does arise a heated-debate topic about the lessons students should take. While an array of people urge that some lessons, including video games, should be eliminated from young students’ lessons table, I firmly believe these lessons do matter most for the following reasons.

The first key factor is that these lessons serve as role to stimulate students’ interest to study, which is absolutely crucial for young students from 5 to 8 years. It is undoubted that interests play an essential part in the process of studying due to the fact that the interest in a specific field promotes young students to have a further study in it. Lessons including video games, can surely achieve this goal as it can not only provide much fun for young students but also enable them to study at the same time, which can satisfy young students’ need of acquiring knowledge of the world as well as finding their interests. Take myself for an example. I got exposed to a video game called Assassins Creed when I was just 7 years old . I was deeply attracted by the charming plots, describing historical events in the time of Roman empire,  in the game. Ever since, I have been enthusiasm of studying history and the experience does benefit me a lot. On the contrary, however, if these joyful lessons were removed, young students might feel bored when studying. Even worse, their interest of studying and acquiring new knowledge are likely to fade off. So, taking courses including video games is important for young students from 5 to 8 years old.

The second contributing factor is that lessons, including video games, well matches young students cognitive ability, considering at the view of young student’s growth. Several scientific researches have indicated that it is not until 12 years old that students’ cognitive ability begins to develop at a fast speed. In other word, the cognitive ability of young students from 5 to 8 years old is just so weak that they might have trouble understanding difficult problems and knowledge. The interesting lessons, including video games, convey understandable knowledge to young students through a joyful way, dissolving the hard-understanding knowledge easy to command.   Nevertheless, through other types of lessons have the privilege to teach large quantities of knowledge to students in a  short time, young students are actually more likely to get distracted and frustrated owing to the fact that they fail to understand the knowledge. A recent research launched by THU suggests that the potential of those who have received lessons including video games and other types of entertainment  can be dug more than 30% compared with whose never have the chances of getting exposed to these interesting lessons. Needless to say, the lessons including video games, do matters for young students.

Taking all these into consideration, I firmly recommend parents and teachers offer the chances of studying these interesting lessons to young students from 5 to 8 years old. The choice will never fail you.
