Some people believe that children at school should learn art, others says it is a waste of time. What is your opinion?

The phenomenon of schools should provide non-formal curriculums for
students
 has aroused wide concern among various circles. Divergent as people's views on
this
 issue in question may be, I believe that schools should provide an all-rounded education for
students
. On one hand, only providing a formal subject for
students
,
such
 as English, Chinese and Mathematics,
this
 in turn reduces the workload on teacher and pupil. To illustrate, in Hong Kong, teachers are usually responsible for multiple
subjects
. More
subjects
 can only be the stress for the teacher.
Moreover
,
this
 is the same for
students
, they already have a lot of curriculums. Additional subject means more homework to them. That homework should not be the only memory of their childhood, and teachers should have enough time to relax and recharge their energy to teach
students
.
On the other hand
, putting non-formal
subjects
 into schooling means pupils can have an all-rounded education. School should help children grow up and prepare for their future, not just pass the knowledge to them.
For example
,
besides
 the knowledge, we should teach them how to use it appropriately so that they can grow up healthily.
In addition
, non-formal
subjects
 may help children develop their creativity.
For instance
, student use their imagination to draw pictures during art class,
this
 will help them to increase their ability of creative.
As a result
, they will be a treasure to our society. Under
this
 line of thinking,
although
 there are good arguments in favour of not adding non-formal
subjects
 into formal education, I still believe that teaching all-rounded is necessary for children.

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
