雅思写作8分范文:教育的功能作用
Topic: Function of education. (Academic subjects and other subjects)Thesis: Schools should make a balance between both rather than only
emphasizes on academic learning.
What is the most significant factor in influencing the shaping of
characters and personality of a child? Do academic subjects really render
everything necessary for children's all-round development? Most schools put
major emphasis on academic teaching because it is believed that academic
subjects can guarantee better future careers. However, in fact, other subjects
such as literature, music and sports, are more crucial to children's development
for they can give children many things beyond academic learning, including
teamwork spirit, endurance and healthy physical body.
It is true that academic subjects can teach children some fundamental
knowledge and they can get further education and skills with such knowledge. But
I don’t think academic learning can necessarily ensure better future careers.
Academic learning is like the fundamental structure of architecture, it can only
be improved and perfected by some other decorations, and that means it is
supplementary subjects that can refine a child's development.
Learning literature can make children sensitive to things around them and
teach them to be careful observers; music can tell children how to relax them
selves and get inspirations through the power of it; sports can build strong
wills and bodies for children for it shows to them the spirit of endurance and
teamwork. We know that all these qualities are badly needed in children's social
lives in the future, especially when they get along or work with other people,
when they confront difficulties or obstacles, and so on.
What our society needs are not people who know nothing besides their
textbooks, but people who know how to apply what they learn, know how to
appreciate and endure in their lives, that means people with full sensibilities
and practical skills; all these are not things children can learn from academic
subjects.
In conclusion, I think schools should reach a balance between academic
subjects and other ones, so that we can expect new generations with all-round
development.
