Task 2: In some countries, it is thought advisable that children begin formal education at four years old, while in others they do not have to start school until they are seven or eight. How far do you agree with either of these views?
In this day and age, people all around the world realize the importance of education as well as its benefits. However, the decision of when children should start their education is still a controversy. Some people insist that children ought to begin formal education at the age of four; however, others think that it is not appropriate to be a school-age child. I strongly appreciate the opinion of letting children go to school at the age of seven- the age that children have enough ability to pay attention and think logically.
To begin with, the ability of concentration varies among stages of cognitive development in children. It has been proved that a 4-year-old child can solely focus on its work within fifteen minutes, while a 9-year-old child can focus up to one hour. Concentration is one of the essential factors to decide the effectiveness of studies; therefore, it is best for children who are ready enough to start school. For example, when I was in kindergarten, my teachers determined that it was time to begin a formal education. Nevertheless, I could not pay attention to my teachers’ words even for five minutes. In short, concentration determines how fluent a class can execute.
Secondly, logical thinking only appears as children grow up, which plays an important role in studying. According to Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, children are able to manipulate their logical thinking when they reach the third stage called the concrete operational stage - the stage that happens when children turn seven. This means that before the age of seven, children cannot absorb methods, which minimizes their studies. Furthermore, curriculums tend to be overwhelming for young students when they get higher education. For instance, in the third grade, reading becomes more about the content than identifying letters and words; this requires students to painstakingly prepare logical thinking and analytical skills before jumping into a more sophisticated educational system.
In conclusion, it might be adequate for children to start school early. However, students need to wait for their mental development, namely concentration and logical thinking so as to produce their studies productively.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
