Band 6+: Some people think that it is better for older schoolchildren to study a large number of subjects and develop a range of knowledge. Others argue that they should study a smaller number of subjects and focus in details. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is an ongoing debate over school subjects, with some saying that it is better for students to learn a large number of subjects, and other arguing that schoolchildren should learn only limited subjects and concentrate in details. While both sides hold merit, I believe that it is advantageous to study only certain subjects.

Some people are of the opinion that all subjects should be covered. This is because they tend to expand student’s knowledge and improve flexibility. Studying a lot of school subjects can be useful in the future, since many elite companies hire employers with great knowledge in every sphere. Additionally, students may adapt easily to changes. There are several different subjects need to be attended in one day. For example, students attend science classes, after that study music, and this usually requires a significant mental shift. Due to these reasons, some individuals argue that studying all school subjects teaches life skills.

Others, on the other hand, believe that it is more effective when only necessary subjects are studied at schools. It is crucial that children choose subjects based on their interests. If school subjects are chosen based on their hobbies and interest, school subjects may not cause boredom. Children might understand the topic deeply without being disturbed by unnecessary things. Even learning only limited subjects reduces information overload, and increases efficiency. Moreover, when children study subjects that are related to their future major, they may start preparing for university from an early age and gain admissions from prestigious universities. By doing so, it is possible to save time and do not face fatigue before university exam.

In my view, learning certain subjects is more effective. This is because students might start associating school more positively, and learn only useful and interesting subjects. This approach helps to improve school system and schools might graduate professional students.

In conclusion, some individuals believe that covering all subjects is more beneficial, since it teaches several life skills. Yet, when limited subjects are studies, students might learn more effectively and remain productive.
