These days the curriculum of schools is one of the controversial issues. While it is often said that students should study

history

in their schools, others feel that there are more important lessons

such

technology

and science in comparison with the

history

that students should pass. In

this

essay, I will examine both sides of

this

argument and provide my opinion. On the one hand, there a number of reasons why some people think that

history

is a compulsory lesson for pupils.

First

of all, studying

history

raises student's awareness about their ancestors, their culture, events which happened in the past, difficulties that people faced with and their real-life story

in particular

in critical situations

such

as wars in previous years.

This

knowledge can prevent people from repeating mistakes that were made in the past.

For example

, many countries learned from the

history

of China that one of the most important ways which protect people from getting some diseases

such

as the Corona Virus is social distancing according to the fact that China could conquer

this

virus.

On the other hand

, many people believe that teaching

technology

and science is more urgent compared with

history

This

is mainly because memorizing dates, years of events, and names waste the student's time and energy which is not useful for their future. Today's students should spend most of their time on

technology

that is

growing fast and life would be hard without adaptation with technological development.

In addition

history

cannot help pupils to overcome their today's difficulties. In conclusion,

although

history

is important for students, I am of the opinion that learning science and

technology

is more useful than

history

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
