EDU: All Subjects Equally Useful?

Most teachers believe that all subjects at school are equally

useful.

     Most teachers believe that all subjects at school are equally useful.

People have varied interests, and therefore students want to study

different subjects at school. They think that it is better to focus on

determined subjects. But others believe that students must learn all

subjects equally.

     In my opinion, today all subjects at school play a important role for

people. Firstly, knowledge and skills obtained at school are applied.

Pupils can use it in the life. Secondly, today individual must be

comprehensively developed to achieve a great position. Finally, a

student increases the level of own culture by studying.

     On the other hand, there are those who think that students should be allowed to choose subjects they want to study. Development of the

ability in determined field and concentration on it will lead to success.

     I disagree with it, because if students do not develop

comprehensively, they will be able to exist in the world and even to

make friends.

     In conclusion, I am strongly convinced that pupils must be interested

in different subjects, as many-sided studying provides becoming

personality.

Detectives: For VS Against

Some people think that reading detectives is a waste of time.

     In today`s world there are many different kinds of books and all

people can find something suitable among the variety. However,

some think that detectives are a useless and stupid genre of books,

whereas others believe that there is no better way to spend time than

reading detectives. So where is the truth?

     In my opinion, reading crime stories brings any person many benefits

and advantages. Firstly, detectives usually have cunningly devised

motives of a crime and an investigation process. This characteristic

of the book allows readers to develop logic, observation and

understanding of human behavior, which can be very useful in real

life. Secondly, it is the best way to deal with depression because the

world of the book is able to capture and divert from real issues. As is

known, a person a little distracted from any problem later find a

solution quicker because of looking at the situation more objectively.

Moreover, we should take into account that reading books enriches

the lexicon and develops grammar skills.

     Nevertheless, many people share the opinion that reading detectives

is worthless activity. Nowadays this genre is made from a template,

so that every book is of the same plot.

     This may be true to some extent, but I assume that detectives of

different authors are varied. They have their own inner world and

fantasy, so plots of some books can be similar but it does not make

crime stories less interesting.

     In conclusion, I am firmly convinced that detectives are beneficial

books because of their ability to give food for thought, distract from

reality and develop logical thinking. I maintain that this genre cannot

be called `useless`.

Stray / Homeless Animals

Some people believe that animals without owners should have

the right to live on the streets in cities. Others say that they

could be dangerous and should be collected and found new

homes, or even put down.

     Some people think that it is quite acceptable that stray animals live in

the streets and people don`t worry about it. Others believe that it is

abnormal and can lead to some dangerous consequences. It is

required many attention and efforts from people to find comfortable

living places for homeless animals.

     In my opinion, the responsibility for animals is very important. The

problem of homeless animals requires special attention and

solution. Firstly, the responsibility for animals appeals to fewer and

fewer people. Secondly, many homeless dogs and cats suffer from

the lack of food and die of starvation on the streets. Such incidents

are heart-rending. So this cannot go on in this way. It is inhuman,

outrageous treatment in relation to our «small brothers».

Actually, this problem concerns every one and humanity must

improve the situation.

     On the other hand, there are those who don`t worry that stray animals

live on the streets, dumps, cellars, heating mains, deserted buildings.

I can`t stand this relation towards the defenseless I certainly agree

with people who don`t disregard to give help to “our little brother»:

keep animal shelters where people can find a pet, treat sick animals,

give them warmer care and attention.

     In conclusion, it should be noticed that it is good that some people are

indifferent in relation towards defenseless and unprotected animals.

Unfortunately, this happens less now. But anyway people should not

forget that they are responsible for those, who they have tamed.

Relationship: today VS past

Have relationships among people changed for the better in

comparison with the past times?

     It is not a rare case to come across a lot of criticism towards modern

society which is said to be callous and superfluous. However, there

are some people who believe that relationships between people have

undergone some positive alterations.

     In my opinion, it seems that contemporary people are so busy to keep

up with the fast pace of life that they hardly have any time for efficient

socializing. The first point to bear in mind is that life is very expensive

nowadays and many parents are forced to work long hours. As a

result, their children are deprived of certain amount of attention, not to

mention that this lifestyle does not contribute to good relationships

between the couple. Secondly, many people complain of a gradual

loss of moral values in the society. The elderly are not the most

respected members of it anymore and there is little compassion

shown towards people in a dire need.

     Nevertheless, the opponents of this point of view are in a hurry to

remind that the role reversal between men and women is obviously a

change for the better. Women have become more independent and

there are fewer prejudices of men staying at home and looking after

children.

     Although, this argument holds some water it seems to be a statistic

fact that the divorce rates have escalated compared to the old times

when people used to be more dependent on each other.

     Taking everything into account, it is possible to conclude that

contemporary lifestyle does not contribute to creating strong bonds

among people.
