These days accidents are increasing on roads due to negligence and reckless driving done by some teenagers.However,some folk think that to solve this problem, pupils should be taught driving skills while they are studying in school.I largely agree with this statement because the things one learns at an early age are remembered throughout life.

Some believe children should be taught to give speeches and presentations in school. Why is this? What other skills do you think it is important to be taught in schools?
It is argued that lessons on public speaking and preparing visual aids should be included in academic programmes at school. One of the main reasons is to ensure that children develop essential skills to communicate effectively in their future jobs. In addition to this, I am of the opinion that skills such as foreign language or computer coding play an equally important role for the same reason and hence should be added to their routine lessons.
