Many students have to study subjects which they donot like. some people think this is a complete waste of time. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?

Certain individuals are of the view that it is pointless for learners to do
courses
 that are not their favourite. I totally agree with
this
 outlook. The essay discusses the reasons for
this
 position
such
 as content obtained but not used in work situations and missing out on other
courses
 that could have aided their employability.
First
 and foremost, it does not make sense for students to gain so much theory and knowledge from subjects which they will not utilise in their jobs.
This
, to a greater extent, is not only useless but encourages them to copy and crame content rather than internalise and understand it contextually.
For example
, National History is one general course that you find students of medicine in Zimbabwe cramming only for the exam because they see it to be of no value to their future careers. I wonder why they continue to include
such
 pointless subjects.
Secondly
, while studying unrelated lessons, the learners miss out on fundamental
courses
 that can potentially guarantee them to work after graduation.
Courses
, and not only grades, as recorded on the transcript are usually critical for use by human resource departments to separate graduates with the same degree names.
For instance
, many people hold accounting degrees but a company may hire certain graduates over others simply because they have learnt more
courses
 in management accounts. So, the
courses
 one selects in their program matter
therefore
 colleges must not provide useless options. Conclusively, through
this
 essay, I fully agree with the perspective that when students study subjects they don't like, their time is wasted.
This
 happens as they focus on irrelevant content and do lessons that will not enhance their chances of getting employed after school.

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
