    Teenagers study a broad range of academic subjects in preparation for the college entrance exam.

    Essay Topic: Some people believe teenagers should focus on all subjects equally, whereas other people think that they should concentrate only those subjects that they find interesting. Discuss both the views and provide your opinion.

    Although teenagers today have to learn many school subjects, it is undeniable that they are good at only one or two of them and interested in some of them. In my opinion, learning all school subjects is beneficial for their further study in their favorite or best subject,nevertheless, they should pay more attention to developing their favorite or best subject when they have a clear direction.

    Obviously, the educational system is based on learning all subjects since teenagers may not fully understand what is important to them for their further development and where their interest lies in. So from our own experience, we can find plenty of evidence to support the view that teenagers should concentrate on all school subjects so that they could find their favorite subject and get prepared for their career in the future.

    However, some people believe that certain subjects that teenagers are fond of or good at are what differentiates teenagers from their peers as they perform very well in those subjects. There is more to developing their abilities in their favorite subjects than to knowing every subject for a little bit. No matter how intellectual teenagers are, they are less likely to master all skills in all subjects.

    I personally think that everyone should have the courage to concentrate on all school subjects as they should all have to pass the the final examination in order to get their degrees. But as teenagers grow up from a student of primary school, they had better realize what their interest lies in, not just what subject they are good at, so they could conduct deeper learning that they are likely to prepare for their future career earlier. Actually, the two concentrations are not mutually exclusive. Without concentration on your favorite subject, you might just learn some knowledge which is no use for your future development, and without realizing the importance of other subjects, you might can’t conduct deeper learning with too lopsided knowledge.

    In a nutshell, all subjects deserve concentration, and we should borne in mind that when you have a clear goal, you are bond to pay more attention to developing your favorite or best subject so that you could have a promising future.

    Although teenagers today have to learn many school subjects, it is undeniable that they are good at only one or two of them and interested in some of them. In my opinion, learning all school subjects is beneficial because this kind of education can help students gain knowledge in multiple areas. Nevertheless, I would say that student’s interest and well-rounded training are equally important.

    Obviously, for the educational system, there are full-scale subjects to learn since teenagers may not fully understand where their interest lies in, a well-rounded education can help them gain knowledge in multiple areas. If students choose to learn the subjects they are interested in but ignore others, they are more likely to fail in connecting with other fields. For example, if they only learn science and ignore languages, they may find it hard to understand some publications in other languages. As learning a language will assist them to learn the original ideas rather than the translated versions which may be inaccurate.

    However, there are concerns that teenagers have limited energy and if they only learn what they like, this can enhance their confidence in studying. No matter how talented teenagers are, they are less likely to master all skills in all subjects. The sense of achievement further encourages them to be experts in a specific field, like engineering.

    I think that everyone should have the courage to concentrate on all school subjects as they should all have to pass the final examination in order to get their degrees. But as teenagers grow up, they had better realize what their interest lies in, so they could conduct deeper learning. The two concentrations are not mutually exclusive. Without concentration on their favorite subject, they might have difficulty achieving better academic performance, and without realizing the importance of other subjects, they might find it difficult conducting deeper learning with too lopsided knowledge.

    In a word, when students have a clear goal, they are bound to pay more attention to developing their favorite or best subject, meanwhile, a well-rounded training is also important since it can help them gain knowledge in multiple areas. We should take both factors into consideration when making the curriculum.
