Task 1. Read the essay. Ipo uradite acce The school leaving age should be 18. Do you agree?
Whereas my grandparents left school at 14, nowadays the minimum age
in many countries is 16, and increasingly, 18. Young people have to stay in
school because people believe it will help them to find good jobs. However,
I believe it might not be the best idea to make everyone stay at school until
they are 18.
Firstly, although those students who want to go to university will stay at
school until they are 18, not everyone enjoys studying. As there are other
options for people that aren't going to go to university, many young people
would rather leave school to start on other paths. They can look for work, do
a training course or get work experience, where they can learn practical skills
which will help them to find a job. Schools don't offer the practical programs
that these young people need, so they need to look elsewhere.
In addition, there is the problem that some over-16s who don't want to
stay on at school will behave badly, and as a result will create problems for
everyone else in their class. We should avoid this situation since teachers
already have very difficult jobs.
In conclusion I'm against it, at least until schools can provide a wider range
of training courses and work experience.
