Before-writing
Task1
You can write better than this.
In my opinion, I don’t really agree children have all kinds of after-school classes on their weekends or holidays.
I have several reasons for this. First, Although it’s sometimes good for children to start learning from a young age, children should have time to relax and think for themselves. Second, Parents should let their kids be kids. Much pressure is not good for children. It’s even more important for children to be happy and relaxed. Moreover, I think it’s better that parents shouldn’t compare their children with other children. It’s crazy and not fair.
All in all, it’s important to have a happy child than a successful one.

Passage1
In my opinion, it’s necessary for us to take after-school classes, because these classes are good for our development.
In the first place, after-school classes are good for the children’s future. They can help children get into good schools and universities. What's more, some classes help children learn important skills which could not be taught at school. These skills may actually help children relax, such as playing sports or playing a musical instrument. Last but not least, I think people learn better at a younger age. Children have more time than adults, so they should learn as much as they can before the get too busy to learn new things.
In a word, if children are glad to have these after-school classes, they will benefit a lot (获益良多) from them.
Passage2
I don’t really agree with what parents are saying abou
