Some people say that all young people should be required to stay in full-time education until they are at least 18 years old. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
题目大意:
一些人说所有年轻人都应该上学上到18周岁。同意否?
思路:
这道题目属于典型的教育话题题目。题目中出现了:all,full-time等,然后问你同意否。题目我们需要反对。但是年轻人读书是天经地义的事情,不读书能干啥?因此,在证明的过程中加入义务教育的强制效果并证明其正确性是很有必要的。但是并不是所有的人都需要这样的全职和正规的教育,比如有些特长生等。
审题,找出敏感词/限定词:
All敏感 everyone, each one
Young people限定 teenagers, young students,the youth
Be required 限定 be compulsory,mandatory
Stay限定 receive
full-time education限定 formal education
18 years old限定 the 18th birthday
提纲梳理如下:
范文:
Most of teenagers are left in limbo and wait for their future arrangement after graduation from junior high schools. Traditionally, they are required to further their education or drop out of the school to start their career life. So, there is a suggestion that all of young teenagers should continue in education until at least their 18th birthday and it is agreed for the following reasons.
This mandatory policy is implemented by local authority who has the obligation to maintain social security and prosperity. This is because the dropping out rate among high school students will decline to its minimum if compulsory education extends to high school education. In some countries, the high rate of dropping out is ruining the life of young generation who are not sufficiently prepared for the future and have less ability to master related skills to support themselves. So, those who stay in school are less likely to become teen parents, commit crimes, or draw on welfare, which are the source of social chaos.
Besides, lengthening the time that citizens are required to go to schools is also an investment for the community and individuals. After graduating from high schools, some of students are likely to continue their education in colleges or universities while others choose to seek jobs with the credentials. By comparison, high school graduates have large probability to be hired and the proportion of young people not in education, employment and training will fall to a lower level.
Notwithstanding, this policy should consider the willing and right of some learners who are not adept at academic learning. Some of them are talented in a certain area, like painting, music, sports, etc., while disappointing in others, which means that the full-time study may waste the time. Another problem derives from the fiscal situation of the government. The long-term compulsory education needs a large scale of public funds which are spent on school construction and faculty employment, which is a heavy financial burden for the government.
As conclusion, I think that encouraging all of teenagers to complete high school education can solve numerous social problems and this is also beneficial to individuals and society but it is not a panacea and forcing all of them to receive full-time education violate the civil right, which should be reconsidered.
