Nowadays most children go to school but few of them have ever asked themselves why they go there. Some children think they go to school just to learn their mother tongue (母语), English and other foreign languages, mathematics, geography, history, science and a few other subjects. But why do they learn these things Are these the only things they should learn at school
Actually children go to school to prepare themselves for the time when they will be grown up and will have to support themselves. They learn their own language so that they will be able to communicate (沟通) with others clearly. They study foreign languages in order to be able to communicate with people in foreign countries, make friends with them and learn something about their culture (文化) and history. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their lives, but there"s one more important reason why children go to school.
