【朗阁托福培训】新托福写作教育话题 朗阁托福培训中心 黄蓉 新托福写作经常会出一些限定人物主体的话题，但是很多同学并不会从这些主体人群的不同特点来分析题目，进而写出一篇非常笼统不是很切题的文章。下面朗阁 托福培训中心的专家将给大家分析一种人群——孩子 (children)，首先我们先回顾下曾经考过的children话题： 1. Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?（小孩应该在很小的时候接受正规教育并花费大量时间在学校学习上，还是应该玩耍？） 2.
