For the time being, the impact of single-use plastics has never failed to provoke a debate. It is argued that they gain more and more popularity and are being made use of in various businesses.

Some people think students should study the science of food and how to prepare it. Others think that school time should be used in learning important subjects. Discuss both views and give your opinion? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Certain individuals are of the belief that majority of time in school should be spent in learning crucial subjects in order to have a successful profession in future. The key reason attributed to the fact is that the current educational system is purely based on grades. On the other hand, some proportion of the society believes that schools should focus on teaching the scientific aspects of food and their preparation methods as part of their curriculum because it contributes to maintaining a healthy society. Therefore, I am of the view that schools should include scientific aspects of different food as part of their Syllabus.
