It is often said that the subjects taught in schools are too academic in orientation and that it would be more useful for children to learn about practical matters such as home management, work and interpersonal skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The content of which topics should be taught in academies is important in determining the quality of our children's education. Many are of the opinion that current content is too rigid and that new subjects
such

as home care and personal development classes should be emphasized. I partially agree with

statement.
To begin

with, classic methods of education are not void of value. Topics
such

as mathematics, biology, and chemistry hold tremendous value. Simply because these subjects are used in all walks of life.
For example

he/she requires an adequate understanding of math.
Furthermore

, if

person wishes to have a bank account he/she needs to have knowledge about how interest rates work which requires mathematics.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, teaching personal development in school will help build adults with the ability to handle various burdens of life.
For example

, students will learn how to better manage their time or how to dissolve conflict.
This

will help them in school work, personal relationships and mental health.
Such

skills will stay with them for most of their lives and help build a more cohesive society. To conclude, I believe that both views have merit.
Instead
Linking Words
of removing classic academical content and replacing it with newer material, we should simply just add these to existing curriculums.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
