Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 33 to 40.
Learning a foreign language is widely recognized as a valuable skill in life. Many researchers
believe that introducing a second language at primary school, rather than at secondary school, could offer

significant benefits. This idea has sparked a debate about the advantages and disadvantages of starting
foreign language education at an early age.
One of the main benefits of teaching a foreign language in primary school is that younger children
tend to learn languages faster than older students. Studies show that as the brain ages, its ability to learn
new languages decreases. Therefore, children who start learning a second language early have a better
chance of mastering it. Furthermore, learning a foreign language at a young age exposes students to
different cultures, helping them become more well-rounded individuals. This exposure also promotes
tolerance and understanding, which benefits society as a whole.
However, introducing a foreign language in primary school might not be suitable for all students.
Some young learners may find it challenging to juggle the demands of learning a new language alongside
other essential subjects like mathematics and science. Additionally, not all children may see the value in
learning a second language, especially if they do not plan to travel or study abroad. In such cases, adding
another language to the curriculum could create unnecessary stress for students.
While there are some drawbacks to introducing foreign language education in primary schools, the
advantages outweigh the disadvantages. That said, it should not be made compulsory for every student, as
some may not be interested or may struggle with the added workload. It is important to consider
individual needs and preferences to keep students engaged in their education.
