Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Some would argue that all tertiary pupils should be allowed to
study
what they want to learn. Others say that they ought to
study
only
science
and technology-related subjects because they bring more career opportunities in the
future
. While many people think that learning about
science
and technology opens more career doors in
future
and make more money, I believe that students can only flourish in their
future
if they
study
their favourite
course
. On the
one
hand, it is often argued that all higher education pupils should
study
courses that are related to
science
because more technological innovations are required in the world. And they make more money in their
future
and enjoy a luxurious lifestyle while working in
this
field rather than other fields.
For example
, a recent survey of The University of Regina found that students who do their bachelors in
science
-related
course
earn 15% more than as compared to those pupils who studied other subjects.
However
, a man will not be happy regardless of how much money he earns if he does not enjoy the work.
On the other hand
, others think that students only flourish in their studies when they
study
the
course
what they like. And it helps their
future
as well because they enjoy that particular
course
and when
one
enjoys the courses rather than take it as a burden than the chances of their success in the
future
increases.
For instance
, Pakistan leading singer Atif Aslam is an engineer and he started his career as an engineer, but he could not succeed in that field,
then
he learned the basics of singing and now he is
one
of the best singers in South Asia. Enjoyment of work automatically brings some extraordinary result that cannot be achieved while working in an environment where
one
feels suffocated. In conclusion,
although
many say that pupils should take their majors in
science
because they bring, the more fruitful result, I believe learning about the
course
that
one
enjoys bringing more useful results in
future
.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
