Some people think secondary school students should study international news as one of their subjects. Other people say that this is waste valuable time. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Studying international
news
for teenagers is an essential academic subject. Some argue that the valuable time
used for this
study is waste and can use the limited time
for other necessities. In this
essay, the editor sheds some light on both views and expresses his ideas.
To begin
with, foreign news
including social issues, technologies, etc. can broaden students
' horizons in the world. Firstly
, the news
reveals what the current international issues are and how those issues may relate to us. For
example
, a Japanese electricity company is discharging wasted water from nuclear plants and that water may affect our health. Secondly
, students
discover the latest technology from the news
. For
example
, the invention of the hyperloop is the high-speed train transferred by a vacuum tube.
On the other hand
, some opponents recognize that is
useless and wastes the pupils' valuable time
as they utilize the time
to do more meaningful activities. For
example
, students
play basketball during their leisure time
. As a result
, teenagers may have healthy bodies but their desired knowledge is limited to textbooks. In addition
, discussing topics with peers is lessened if others are talking about the latest technological advancement. For
example
, the features of the latest release of the iPhone. To prevent similar circumstances, students
can spend half an hour hearing the news
on the Internet.
To sum up
, adolescents are essential to studying international news
to broaden their knowledge and understand what circumstances are encountering. It is a valuable time
to spend and enhance their living standards.Submitted by ieltswriter
