Read the essay. What is the writer's conclusion about school?
Is school the best place to learn?
There are many alternatives to school, such as homeschooling or studying online. But is school the best place for young people to learn?
In my opinion, it's better to learn in school for several reasons. Firstly, in school, students often have to work together, so they learn from each other and become sociable. Secondly, school students must obey rules. This provides a structured day where students attend classes in a wide variety of subjects. They learn the importance of doing work on time and preparing for exams. This teaches them how to behave in society and future jobs. Finally, at school, students have the chance to participate in team sports and other projects that involve a group of people.
To conclude, students learn many things and in many ways at school. All in all, I think school is the best place to learn.

Write three sentences on school that express a different opinion from those in the model essay. Use the ordering words.
Firstly...
Secondly...
Lastly... / Finally...
Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiFirstly, schools prioritize test scores over actual learning, leading to a lack of critical thinking and creativity.
Secondly, school can be a stressful environment, with high levels of pressure to perform well on exams and constant comparisons to other students, leading to anxiety and mental health issues.
Lastly, schools may not have the time or resources to provide individual attention to each student, which makes it difficult for some students to receive the support they need.

Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiMany people think school holidays should be shorter.
In my opinion, school holidays should not be shorter, but rather maintained at their current length or even extended for several reasons. Firstly, a long break provides students with the opportunity to spend time with family and friends, pursue hobbies, or even travelling that can help them to recharge. By limiting holiday time, we risk putting undue pressure on students and depriving them of the chance to relax and unwind. Secondly, I believe school holidays provide valuable opportunities for students to engage in experiential learning outside of the classroom. During longer breaks, students may have the chance to intern, volunteer, or participate in other activities that can help them to develop new skills and perspectives. Finally, it provides an important buffer against stress and burnout. The demands of the academic year can be overwhelming, and it is important for students to have time to rest and recover, which is essential for their success both in and out of the classroom.
To conclude, school holidays provide many benefits and experiential opportunities for students. All in all, school holidays should not be shorter.
