Some people think that it is a waste of time for high school students to study literature, such as novels and poems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is clear that
our high school education system not only focuses on science but

While
some groups believe that studying
literature
is not as important as other subjects, I totally disagree with
this
statement since there are several benefits

studying
literature
. One justification for
this
is that by learning how to create written matter, their self-confidence will develop, as they are trained to deliver their ideas to

Although

Furthermore

Secondly

critical thinking.
For instance

World War II, and give their thoughts in the form of an essay afterwards.
As a result

this
will not only affect their knowledge about World War II but

However

can increase students’ ability to make decisions and to become high-quality individuals. In conclusion, it is paramount to give

education in order to support students’ self-confidence and critical skills.
Therefore
, I am firmly convinced that

Task Achievement
To improve in Task Response, ensure that your essay directly addresses the prompt throughout. While your overall position is clear, elaborating on how literature compares in value to other subjects might strengthen your argument. Make sure that each paragraph specifically relates back to the prompt, emphasizing how literature studies contribute uniquely to education.
Coherence and Cohesion
For Coherence and Cohesion, pay attention to the flow of ideas between paragraphs. Transitional phrases can help link your points more naturally. Consider using a wider variety of cohesive devices (such as comparison, contrast, and cause-effect connectors) to enhance the readability of your essay. Additionally, organizing your main points more clearly by perhaps dedicating a distinct paragraph to each major benefit mentioned would enhance cohesion.
