Some people think that real-life
skills
like cooking, housekeeping and gardening should be included in the curriculum as compulsory
subjects
. In my opinion, I agree partially with
this
notion and I will explain my reason in the following paragraph. On the one hand, learning life
skills
is important and must be learned by every individual. While
skills
like cooking were essentially taught by parents and grandparents to their children but in today's nuclear families when most of the kids move out of their homes for college studies even before they are an adult, children are unable to learn even the basic
skills
of cooking and rely on instant food and takeaways, which may be prepared unhygienically, for their daily meals,
thus
affecting their health in the long-term.
For instance
, the number of hospital cases due to the consumption of unhealthy and unhygienic meals is on the rise.
Thus
, knowing how to cook can help a long way in developing the habit of cooking and consuming homemade healthy food. On the one hand, making life
skills
in the curriculum compulsory
subjects
will make drawbacks.
Firstly
, Nowadays, There are a lot of compulsory
subjects
and inside the lessons have more content.
For example
, Science included physic, chemistry, biology and astrology.
Secondly
, Not every

For instance
, Boy students maybe do not prefer to learn cooking or gardening. Especially, If some real-life
skills
subjects
appear in the transcript and they have a bad score, I think it will make average scores decrease for real-life

. In conclusion, I think life
skills
subjects
are important but should be an elective course for interested

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly

  • for instance
  • therefore
