Some people claim that many things that children are taught at school are a waste of time. Other people argue that everything children study at school is useful at some time. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="OLE_LINK12">It is true that the main purpose of
education is to equip students with knowledge and skills that are necessary for
their lives and careers. Although learning some subjects is a waste of time
sometimes, I would argue that the knowledge we obtained from school is very
important to our future life.<o:p></o:p></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the one hand, many
people believe that some majors that students study at school are no sense and
cannot bring some benefits to them, possibly because these subjects cannot be
applied in their lives. For example, students find that mathematics is
extremely difficult and they spent much time leaning, but mathematics skills
can be irrelevant to their daily life. As we live in a technology age, even
though we meet some questions about mathematics, we can use computers or other
high-tech devices to help us solve it. As a result, the time and efforts spent
on math are unworthy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the other hand, other
people are in favour of knowledge that they obtained is very important, because
what they got from university can help them live a better life and advance
their careers. For instance, students, who chose computer engineering as their
majors, work as a specialist in computer industries. Consequently, they are
more likely to earn high salaries, which can make then enjoy a high quality of
life. For these people, it is the knowledge that makes them successful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my opinion,
knowledge can make a big difference to people’s future life. People learned
some subjects from university and they should treat it using a long term sight.
Since what they learn cannot give them immediately return, they should
understand it will perform its function in the near future. As an example,
students, with a bachelor degree in chemistry, who work in IT companies may
think their majors are useless. However, when these students change their job, and
start their careers in some fields that they ever did some research when they
were studying in university, these skills will play a crucial role in their
daily work or even hold the key to the promotion.<o:p></o:p></p>
