答案

首先分析一下句子成分：
第一句：I是主语,think是谓语,that后面是一个从句,做think的宾语.
从句是：yong children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else.其中主语是young children,谓语是appreciate,宾语是pictures,better than anyone else是修饰appreciate的状语.注意：这里的better是副词,修饰动词用的.
整句话的意思是：我想小孩子通常能比其他人更好地欣赏现代画.
第二句：如果像你这样写,I是主语,think是谓语,that后面也是宾语从句,但宾语从句里有两个动词：appreciate和is,这样写整个句子就不清晰了.因为原来修饰appreciate的better前面多了个is,那么这个better就是用作形容词了,它形容什么呢?没人知道.
如果你想改变原句的意思,想写成：我认为经常欣赏现代画的孩子比其他人都好.
英语应该这样写：I think the young children who often appreciate modern pictures is better than anyone else.
这样写的句子主干是：I think （that） the young children is better than anyone else.这个better是adj.
who often appreciate modern pictures 是修饰young children 的定语从句.
