: Your point seems to be that children can learn easily when they are young if it is fun. That is your thesis. Now expand with three general statements: motivation, learning potential, ability to learn quickly. You have the specific details already in your essay. You need to organize them.
: The essay reads very easily. However, you should reread your essay for these and other errors.
: "Several studies showed that kids at"
: "Several studies have shown that children from..."
:
: Especially young people are
: "Young people especially are..."
:
: Children at this stage learn especially languages very fast
: "Children at this stage especially learn languages very fast.."
: : Nowadays education plays a very important role in our
: : society. Especially young people are encouraged to learn as much as
: : they can. I think that it is never too early for a good education but
: : it ought to be non-formal.
: : Several studies showed that kids at the age of four to six have
: : a high learning potential and this potential should be used to their
: : advantage. Children at this stage learn especially languages very fast
: : and should therefore e.g. spend holiday in a foreign country. There
: : they would learn the language very easily and fast. Based on these
: : abilities it would be very easy to encourage the child to learn this
: : language at home in a more formal way.
: : My view of a formal education is a child in a school uniform sitting
: : on a desk in the classroom and try to learn something about the greek
: : history and that does not fit to the interests of a child; it is just
: : boring and the child will lose the interest on these topics and
: : other issues. And this can not be the proper way.
: : To my opinion the motivation of a child to learn something is very
: : important for the future development. Therefore i would show the child
: : that learning can and should be fun. I would play games like memory,
: : scrabble or trivial pursuit. Through this games the child would learn
: : something and has fun as well.
: : The child would learn something through this soft and native education
: : and has therefore a small advantage at school. Through this
: : benefit school would not be a big threat at the beginning and
: : therefore the child would have more fun in school as well.
