    Although nowadays younger children are taught by one teacher all day, there may have better ways to teach them. For example, their approach to different teachers may encourage them to study. I think younger children benefit from being taught by different teachers rather than are badly affected by different teachers.

    For one thing, different teaching methods can inspire their interests. For example, if a teacher likes to make students do the topic at class and only tells them why the correct answer being a certain one, it would be boring. Especially this teacher unfortunately teach certain younger children all day long, that’s a boring day when I don’t want to spend my time at all. For another, suppose that a teacher is strict to younger children, the one who made mistakes would have classes with his or her teacher all day long, he or her may feel so scared that the child can’t pay attention to the knowledge. The child may also have a bad mood until he or her leaves school.

    However, some people believe that one teacher teaches younger children all day can not only save human resources but also better respond to the needs of different children. Different teachers teach classes for a certain class will increase the workload of teachers because they have to schedule the timetable and prepare different contents for different classes. But if they teach for a whole day in one class, the drawback referred to above is diminished. Also if a teacher gets along with a group of kids everyday, he or she will know much about different children’s characteristics so that he or she could better meet children’s needs. This will benefit children’s growing.

    I personally believe that younger children should be taught different subjects by different teachers. A teacher who mainly help students learn a certain subject could also pay attention to their different needs. What’s more, it seems that wasting human resources is a superficial phenomenon. Teachers also need new scene to change their moods. By making younger children
    able to approach different teachers, they will learn with better moods and greater interests.

    In conclusion, younger children can benefit from being taught by different teachers every day, they will study with good moods and greater interests. The benefits overshadow its considered drawbacks.

    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.

    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. Nevertheless, they should pay more attention to developing their favorite or best subject when they have a clear direction.

    Obviously, for the educational system, there are full-scale subjects to learn since teenagers may not fully understand 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, then get prepared for their career in the future.

    However, some people believe that certain subjects teenagers are fond of or good at are what differentiates them 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 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 your favorite subject, you might 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. When you have a clear goal, you are bound to pay more attention to developing your favorite or best subject so that you could have a promising future.
