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

University is a place that gives students different subjects to study. While some people claim that studying their favourite subjects is better, whereas others believe students should be allowed to study vital subjects like science and machinery for a bright future. I agree with the
first
part of the question whilst I cannot agree with the
second
part.
This
essay will discuss the reasons why students should study whatever they want. Universities offer numerous majors for learners. They are obtaining various fields which deal with colourful subjects. Some of them are related to real life, and the rest is into music, sport and so on. I agree that students have rights to select subjects concerning their interests.
As a result
, they can be more professional in their major.
For example
, if students are only interested in painting but studying automation under their parents pressure, it cannot have an effect on their life. Meanwhile, they will become a good painter
instead
of a scientist in machinery. From
this
point, I
second
the idea that students must choose their major considering their taste without any pressure.
On the other hand
, I disagree with the idea in the
second
part of the question because of two reasons.
Firstly
, every individual has their own skill in society. Some can be a good computer engineer, others can become a teacher or psychologist. In universities, many subjects related to our society, and it is really important for us to understand our status in the public and allows us to be a good member of it. Science and technology often cannot give
this
valuable information for us. These kind of subjects teaches us tangible notions mostly, but social subjects,
such
as pedagogic help people, especially teachers, to understand human emotions.
Secondly
, as I mentioned in the above paragraphs, every person has their own interests and skills. It is up to people to bring something new into society in their field. In conclusion, I partly agree with
this
statement, according to the reasons. It can be a proof for people in general, parents
in particular
, students should be allowed to choose their subjects in university themselves.

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
