Some industry leaders below that children should learn computer programming in primary school. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

#industry #leaders #children #computer #school
It is believed by some industrial leaders that computer programming should start to be taught to students in primary
school
. I totally disagree with
this
 opinion due to the reasons which will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
First
 of all, children are somehow raw and do not think about any particular issues in primary
school
.
Moreover
, they are just seven to eleven years old when they study at elementary
school
 and all of the things they think about are playing and having fun with their same-age friends. At that age, essential subjects should be taught to them as well as some specific classes for those intelligent ones.
For instance
, an eight-year-old boy absolutely can't concentrate on learning computers and only want to use them for games.
Therefore
, they can not concentrate on a special and hard subject
such
 as computer programming.
On the other hand
, children's opinions on their future careers may change over time.
Thus
, if the
school
's administrators organize some professional classes
such
 as computing, software, hardware or other fields which should be taught at the university,
first
, the students may get tired or disappointed about them and
second
, they may have different tastes and ideas about their university courses.
For example
, research by a hardworking student at the University of New South Wales in Sydney has displayed that there was a girl who was crazy about learning math at elementary
school
, but after five years her ideology changed and now she is studying art and architecture at high
school
. So,
this
 shows that industry leaders shouldn't rely on youth's primary learning. According to what has already been discussed in the above paragraphs, I totally disagree about the idea that some difficult courses like computer programming should not be taught to students from 7 to 11 years old.

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
