The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood .

　　Some of them think that English learning should start from childhood .

　　As little boys and girls have a very good memory ,they can learn a lot of English words by heart .

　　This will help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning .

　　But others do not agree .

　　Young children have to learn Chinese pinyin at school .

　　If they study Chinese pinyin and English at the same time , it will be very easy for them to mix them up .

　　This will do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning .

　　In short , the students have not arrived at any agreement , yet .
