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?
Education is a vital part of human
life
in order to supply knowledge
for seeking jobs in the future or simply help people
to chase their dreams. However
, most of the pupils do not actually recognize what they want to do and through the subjects
in school
, they find enthusiasm. Some maybe want to be scientists or others
relating academic careers. Others
want to be chefs, tailors, sellers or others
not involving the subjects
learned in school
. Before that, students need to be taught all the primary subjects
such
as mathematics, literature, physics, history, and others
to ensure that children can approach all the knowledge
they want to study to decide to follow in the advanced academic levels like undergraduate or master. Therefore
, I agree that all the subjects
are needed, both academic and practical to have the job prospect.
To begin
with, some people
assume that some academic subjects
such
as mathematics or physics are too difficult to learn, especially for kids
who just want to be a chef and these should be excluded. In my point, this
idea leads to negative effects on overall education. The first
reason is unfair to students who have a passion for science or something that needs scientific knowledge
. In reality, advanced knowledge
has essential value and position, without this
human life
is not able to reach to recent level. For example
, without mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge
, we do not have scientists or engineers to create machine devices or develop space technology. To achieve the complicated fields, we need advanced knowledge
from “academic subjects
” taught in school
. Thus
, all these subjects
still are taught in order to supply the fundamental knowledge
for people
who want to seek higher followed levels.
On the other hand
, practical knowledge
should be learnt in school
to make real-life
easier. These subjects
are called soft skills
involving the life
skills
to manage, grow and be mature in personal activity. It is important that teach students how to deal with problems themselves when they face troublesome things, mental health matters or other complicated business. This
proficiency would help our kids
overcome their problems and be confident in themselves. Other practical knowledge
that should be taught is the skills
to do the daily work such
as cooking, washing or on advanced levels, survival skills
for getting lost in the uncommon environment. Although
in my opinion, pupils could learn these subjects
from their own parents
because parents
are the best teacher for their kids
in real life
. Another advantage is the closer relationship between parents
and their children. However
, in the case that kids
do not have parents
or be taken care of by guardians, schools could take this
responsibility.
In conclusion, either academic or practical matters are needed for children to survive in life
and help their complete growth. Academic education in case they want to purchase a science or complicated, advanced career. It is vital for modern human culture, and for the future of humankind. Besides
, practical skills
should be learnt for daily life
to raise our kids
to become independent, helpful and mature people

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.
