The line graph depicts the link between age and criminality rate last year ,whilst the pie chart showcases the percentage of numerous kinds of crimes during the same year. Overall, the majroity of criminals are youngsters and a large portion of this phenomenon features violence. It is conspicuous that young people are the prime lawbreakers in the british society. In fact, according to the data, individuals who are 20 are responsible for 80% of crimes. It is also noticeable that there is no criminal under the age of 8 years old. Hence, criminality starts from this period. Furthermore, the crime rate decreases dramatically from the age of 20 to 28 years old, passing from 80% to exactly 20%. Afterwards, it plummets steadily until becoming under the 10% at the age of 60. On the other hand, the pie chart puts forward the fact that violent acts are the most that occured. Indeed, this genre of detrimental action accounts for 46%, followed by property crimes that represent 23% of the total. Then, 22% of crimes that occured the previous year were related to narcotics.

Nowadays, in most of the country there is the possibility for children to attend either single-sex schools or co-educational schools. In past time, male and female couldn’t go in the same school, so there were only single-sex schools and for this reason people didn’t have any choice and must send their children to that type of schools.
Consequently, now, there are more and more co-educational schools than single-sex schools which are becoming less common. Indeed, some parents don’t agree on sending their children to single-sex schools because this could cause problems in their future. Even though, single-sex schools seem to be more secure (controlled), where teachers can teach better and parents would be less worried on problems and arguments which can happen between the two different sex. Actually, these arguments are good for the development and growing of the children/prole.
For instance, in mixed school is represented the real society where people are not divided into the two sex and have to work together and collaborate. So, co-educational helps to share ideas and confront opinions among several people who will be next citizens of the world. Of course, diversity can generate fighting, but this is something that a child has to experience. (Moreover, this schools help to develop the socialization of the children and start to send them to the right way for life)
To sum up, I personally agree that children who attend single school would have some disadvantages in their future life, because society is mixed and the best time to learn how to live properly is actually childhood. In my opinion, school is a place for learning how to live with other people, for building/establish relationships and not only for memorizing topics.
All children should study a foreign language in school, starting in their earliest grades, To what extent do you agree or disagree with statement? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
