Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others think they should only be allowed subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
It is sometimes argued that students have to choose the courses that are useful for the future and their work. However, others assert that pupils should study everything they want and we should not limit them.

Some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this case? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
