Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

The debate over academic freedom versus practical utility in higher education reflects broader societal tensions between individual choice and economic necessity. While allowing students to pursue their passions can lead to innovation and personal fulfillment, focusing on STEM subjects addresses urgent workforce demands. I believe a balanced approach that combines core practical skills with elective subjects would serve both individual and societal interests most effectively.

Writing Task 2#Education

Band

In some countries, young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.

Taking a gap year between secondary education and university has become increasingly popular, offering both significant benefits and potential drawbacks. The advantages include gaining real-world experience, developing independence, and clarifying career goals through exposure to different environments. However, disadvantages may include losing academic momentum, falling behind peers, and potential financial costs. Ultimately, the success of a gap year depends largely on how purposefully it is planned and executed.

Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is better to try and improve such situations. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

The philosophical divide between acceptance and action in difficult circumstances reflects fundamental differences in human psychology and cultural values. Acceptance can provide peace of mind and prevent unnecessary stress, particularly when situations are genuinely beyond our control. Conversely, actively working to improve circumstances demonstrates resilience and can lead to meaningful change. I believe the optimal approach depends on careful assessment of what can realistically be changed, combining acceptance of unchangeable factors with determined action where improvement is possible.

Writing Task 2#Philosophy

Many working people get little or no exercise either during the working day or in their free time, and have health problems as a result. Why do working people not get enough exercise? What can be done about this problem?

The sedentary lifestyle epidemic among working professionals stems from multiple interconnected factors including demanding work schedules, technological dependence, and urban design that discourages physical activity. Long working hours leave little time for exercise, while desk-based jobs and digital entertainment options promote inactivity. Solutions require both individual commitment and systemic changes: employers could provide on-site fitness facilities and flexible schedules, urban planners could create more walkable environments, and individuals must prioritize physical activity despite time constraints.
