Ielts 雅思 口语全攻略 Ideas and Examples for ielts speaking Jeremy Chiron

Should school be compulsory for all students up to the age of 18?

Yes, definitely. Life's already very challenging for college graduates, because it's hard for them to find a decent job. So if some teenagers don't even graduate from high school, what kind of future are they going to have? Studying is a privilege (= a great chance). Young people should stay at school as long as they can, and learn as much as they can. They have their entire lives to work and try to make money.

   Which subjects should all students study at school?
   

I think that every student should study Chinese, math and history because these are the 3 fundamental subjects at school. In my opinion, these are the most useful, because everyone should be able to write Chinese well; everyone should be able to make references to Chinese literature and philosophy. History, especially our Chinese history, is also essential because students can learn about our cultural heritage. They can better understand their origins and their Chinese identity. In addition, math is also used in daily life, and it is indispensable (= crucial) for developing a logical way of thinking, especially when dealing with money. After these 3 subjects, I would select physical education, because I believe that a healthy body and a healthy mind are closely related; and biology and English for practical reasons. Biology explains how human bodies work and how other living things function. English become essential because today's young people will probably travel a lot when they get older, and everyone around the world now speaks this language.
