Writing exercise

For now, more and more people (attach importance to)重视 art development of children. 孩子在艺术方面的发展

I heard lots of children leaning music, sports, etc…at their free time and most of children they are very young. Maybe 2 age or 3 age…Arts tuition are very expensive.

In my opinion (On my personal level), if my kids like it. I’ll make them to study it. Because they like it, they will keep going for a long time. Probably(maybe, perhaps) these arts will be them business in their life. (Will be become)??
They will be happy when (during.while) they study it. If my kids don’t like it, I’ll stop them to study. They are very young, it will hurt their heart. Interesting is the most important thing.

Wayne was particularly excited about the transfer because he could now draw on the French he has taken while in school.

Revised:

Before, a lot of parents do not care about the arts. They think that their children learn the arts is waste money. They cannot get a good job. They want their children learn more math, Chinese and English. That’s a very traditional thinking. Now, more and more people pay more attention to the development of children in the arts.

In the previous decade, a lot of parents thought of art as the least important, “for fun” subject in school. They think that for children, learning art is a waste of money. Learning the arts cannot lead to a good job. Traditional parents want their children to learn more math, Chinese and English, so they will get into good schools and eventually good jobs. That’s a very outdated thinking. Now, more and more people pay more attention to the artistic development of children in the arts.

Edit this yourself:
