문제 :
Some students decide early in life to pursue vocational careers that involve cooking and baking. For them, it is better to study their chosen occupations in high school rather than regular subjects.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
답변 : In recent times, taking up occupation is getting harder so, 'a permanent job in one's life' is becoming an old story now. Thus, the meaning of occupation is also changing. Its meaning is becoming more lighter than in the past.
However, I disagree with the argument that claims to study student's chosen occupations in high school rather than a regular subject is better. There are three reasons for my opinion.
First, the curriculum if general high school is the essential curriculum, not the professional. The curriculum includes some information that people should know whatever is one's job.
The next reason is middle school students need more time to find out their interests and aptitude. Even though the meaning of occupation is lighter, an occupation is still an important thing in our life. Thus, we should be serious when we choose an occupation. Yet, middle school age is too early to decide their occupation themselves.
Finally, students who decide to take up occupations earlier can learn something to help vocational careers even they study regular subjects. There are lots of programs outside of school, so I think they use these opportunities is the better choice.
To sum up, the general high school curriculum includes essential knowledge to live life, and middle school students are too young to choose their future occupations. They need to be more serious.
Therefore, I disagree with the argument. Nevertheless, students who think to study regular subjects is reducing time and not helpful to their future then it's a better way to study their chosen occupation in high school.
