2:Japan should start teaching English from Elementary school
every day.

Our group disagree with this idea.
There are some reasons.
Elementary schoolchild can't understand why they have to study English.
In Japan, teachers who teach English are not enough now.
By teaching English from the beginning of Elementary school,
children may hate English if they can't enjoy studying English.
We can improve English skills from junior high school.
Elementary schoolchild don't study Japanese well,
so they may be confused by studying English.
Elementary schoolchild can learn many things
by playing with friends, having a conversation and doing favorite activities
and so on.


But, there are agreements with this idea.

Studying English can extend schoolchild's possibilities.

Our mental is like children.

By discussing, examining and talking about the basis of current beliefs, teacher presents them.Good teacher focuses on understanding the material. So, teacher take materials as beliefs or conclusions reached through investigation, and students can get the information.
I agree with Miland's opinion because I feel that good teacher focus on discussing, investigating, examining and so on in the class. I think these things are needed to approach the material of the problem. And good college teacher's way encourages to extend the my possibility.
