Male Female

I'm still studying at school and haven't graduated yet. I study more than 20 subjects, for example, mathematics, biology, PE, IT, languages, and so on. I really enjoy learning IT and languages. The reason I study IT is that almost everything is computerized nowadays. But most people aren't interested in technology. Most young people only play games on computers. If I were an IT expert, I could help a lot of people. I think my future job might be related to digital devices. The reason I study English is to get visas and go to foreign countries. Learning English opens up many opportunities for me. You could say that English is a part of my life. I don't really enjoy mathematics and physics because they are quite difficult for me. They have a lot of incomprehensible formulas. Just because I don't like mathematics doesn't mean I'm terrible at calculations. In my opinion, art isn't a necessary subject at school because not all students are interested in it. In fact, only a few students are interested in art. I think these subjects won't be essential for everyone in the future. I think all subjects are necessary because everyone has different strengths and interests. People are also different in different situations. So, every subject can be useful for somebody.
