Some
people
think
schools
should
only
teach
students
academic
subjects.
Others
think
schools
should
also
teach
students
how
to
discriminate
between
right
and
wrong
. Discuss both views
and give your own opinion.
The
school
has
long
been
regarded
as
the
place
that
improves
people
’<
/p>
s
career
prospects
and
generates
personal
wealth.
This
notion
has
been,
however,
been
refuted
by
many
people
who
believe
that
education
should
include
and
emphasize
moral
education.
In
my
opinion,
students
who
have
behavioral
problems
cannot
achieve
success
easily,
regardless
of
their
academic
performance.
Many
teachers
believe
that
students
should
focus
on
core
subjects,
as
these
courses
decide
whether
they
can
get
into
college
later.
The
knowledge
that
is
acquired
in
these
countries
can
provide
a
flying
start
in
students
’
career
development.
If
students
need
to
spend
time
studying
moral
principles
and
behavioral norms
, they feel
time pressure.
There is no denying that moral
education can
raise
students
’
awareness of
some
important virtues, such
as honesty, integrity and altruism , which are
crucial to
social
progress
and
social
cohesion.
If
students
recognize
these
virtues,
they
would
understand
how
to
get
along
with
other
people
and
how
to
care
about
others
’
benefits.
In
this
way
,
they
can
apply
their
knowledge
to
make
contribution to society , and will form
meaningful relationships with others.
Personally
,
I
think
that
students
’
understanding
of
morality
determines
their
success.
This
not
improves
their
behavior
at
school
but
also
prevents
some
behavior
problems,
such
as
smoking,
drinking
and
sexual
behavior
and
so
on.
These problems will affect their
students and cause
irreparable(
impossible to
repair
or
make
right
again
)
damage to their career development. For example,
if
students
do
not
realize
the
impact
of
excessive
drinking
,
this
habit
may
influence
their
working
performance
and
their
home
life
after
they
reach
adulthood.
In view of the importance
of moral education to social development and
personal
achievement,
it
should
be
included
in
schools’
curriculum.
Without
moral
education , the society is teeming with
irresponsible behavior while young people
are not likely to lead a meaning and
fulfilling life.

Schools
should
concentrate
on
the
academic
subjects
that
will
be
useful
for
students
’
future
careers. Subjects such as music and sports are not
useful. To what
extent do you agree or
disagree?
In
recent years,
there is a trend among
schools toward
removing subjects such
as
arts and physical education from the
curriculum, because there subjects do
not
have
a
direct
relation
with
students
’
future
occupations.
It
lies
in
the
fact
that
education
is
valued
by
people
only
when
it
improves
students
’
employability.
Although music and sport
are
not directly related to
careers , these
subjects
have
countless
benefits to
students
’
success
in their careers.
The
idea
that
music
is
important
children
’
s
development
has
been
widely
accepted.
First
of
all,
music
can
e
nhance
intelligence.
The
use
of
musical
instruments
enables
students
to
gain
an
understanding
of
how
to
coordinate
different
parts
of
bodies
,
the
advantage
of
that
students
who
can
use
musical
instruments
proficiency
can
t
ackle
different
tasks
in
adulthood.
It
is
also
important
to
realize
that
music
can
bridge
the
gap
among
young
people,
regardless
of
race
,
nationally
and
gender.
Music
can
foster
the
culture
of
cooperation
among teenagers
as they are required to
collaborate
with each other
in a band or an
orchestra
. Music is also
considered as a healthy way of
reliving
stress
, because it can
lighted one
’
s
mood and reduce anxiety.
PE
also
has
a
beneficial
effect
on
child
’
s
physical
and
mental
health.
Students
who
engage
in
physical
activity
can
constantly
maintain
a
healthy
weight
and
have
stamina
to
handle
their
schoolwork.
This
is
particularly
important
,
considering that young people
are increasingly addicted to
the
sedentary activity
,
such
as
playing
video
games.
Similar
to
m
usic,
sports
,
including
team
sports,
place
emphasis
on
cooperation
,
so
social
bonding
can
be
strengthened
among
players. Furthermore, students
who
exercise habitually normally have a
positive
attitude to
life,
which enables them to cope with stress easily.
In
light
of
these
factors,
we
should
acknowledge
the
implication
of
music
and
sports to
students
’
future career
success. Music can develop
students’
intellectual
skills and
social skills , while sports are able to improve
students
’
physical health
and
self
–
esteem.
Topic 27
Some
people
think
that
children
should
obey
the
rules
set
by
their
parents
and
teachers,
but
others
think
that
less
control
will
help
children
to
deal
with
their
future adult life. Discuss both views
and give your own opinion.
Rule-setting
has
long
been
a
method
adopted
by
teachers
and
parents
to
discipline
and
educate
children.
Although
this
method
is
extensively
used,
its
advantages
and
disadvantages
are
still
a
matter
of
debate.
In
my
opinion,
the
rul
e is a
double-edged sword, which can help or hurt us, so
what matters most is
how to use it.
The main
function of rules is to
hold
children
accountable for
their behavior, so
they
will
follow
behavioral
norms,
rather
than
behave
badly.
Unlike
adults,
children are not
aware of the consequences of their behavior. By
following rules,
children will
gradually develop
in an idea
of how to cat in
a socially acceptable
manner
.
For
example,
children
will
do
their
best
to
avoid
aggressive
behavior
and
foul
languag
e
,
once
they
realize
that
those
actors
are
not
likely
to
be
acceptable
by other people. Only after they grow up, will
they have knowledge
and experience
to
evaluate
choices and act
responsibility.
Sometimes
rules
may not have a positive influence
on
children, if those parents
who
establish
the
strict
rules
overemphasis
children
’
s
obedience.
Children
rely
on rules to such a
degree that they are not able to solve problems
independently.
Children either do
not
have confidence in their decision
making abilities
or have
courage to put their ideas into
practice. When facing problems, children turn to
parents for advice, fearing what they
do can have
dire
consequences
. They will
be
at a disadvantage
in
a highly competitive
society,
where they need to show the
ability to tackle different problems.
Considering
these
factors,
I
believe
that
rules
are
important,
since
rules
can
prepare
children for their adulthood. However, if the
rules are
excessively strict,
many problems will appear.
