[Vinhnguyen04x]

141. If you could make one important change in a school that you attended, what change would you make? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.

In my university, we have to learn so many unnecessary subjects. Therefore, that takes many school times. Therefore, if I could make one important change I would cross out these unnecessary subjects to concentration on main subjects and practice in the lab or on the field. It will improve our technique skill after we graduate.

Crossing out some unnecessary subjects not only save the time but also save money. These subjects take a large time in a semester, usually that take 1/3 of a semester time. It will affect to our school time and these subjects often difficult to study because they are not in speciality so almost students’ mentality don’t like to study. But in my university these subjects are mandatory subjects so whether you want or not you must completed these parts. It also will take our money to buy materials for subjects

To concentration our time on the main subjects and specialties. Everyone want to get a good job and high salary when they graduated, so when they were on the school they tried to learned and practiced a lot to improved their skill. We want to deeply study on our subjects so nobody want to spend their time on unnecessary subjects

We want to spend more our time on practicing in the lab and in the field so the time is very importance for us. Specially my university is agriculture and forestry, therefore, it claim many time for practice than theory study.

Now in my country there are many universities hava applied old regulations, among of them is to make students learn some old and unneeded subjects is one of issues, we must have some innovation in the education of education systems. Therefore, cut off and concentration on the speciality is the best way for students

Given an oppourtunity to change a thing in my school I would like to change the attitude of the school management towards sports. Our school was one of the best instituitions for studies but it is high time teachers get aware that extra-curricular activities including sports are equally important for the development of the child.

One of the reasons i would make to support this is sports is the best possible way of getting a child stress free. After all of the days work at school and tuitions children need some kind of a recreation . This would definitely increase their concenteration and energy levels .

Another examples is sports encourages team work. Many kinds of sports involving working together as a group this not only teaches them how to interact with different members of the team but also brings out leadership qualities in some children .Futhermore these qualities would help them after school when they get their jobs .

Finally,sports improves physical strength in a growing child . Games can be physically very demanding this improves childrens muscle power and immunity towards infections . Physical hardwork means more hunger n more intake of food this makes body stronger.

In my conclusion,all work and no play would make jack a lazy chap this fits right in here and explains why i would change my schools policy towards sports.

While the qualities and quantities of education and school is increasing,along with the science and society is advancing,problems are also enhancing.One point of this,I insist that it owe to the relation between the teachers and students:the teachers should make friends with students and care about students,especially the individual students that are different from others;rather than make enemy of them.Such a situation was of more and more benefits to anyone:the teacher,or the students.
Some countries,especially like China,teachers don’t create or give any affability to students;Only school reports do they emphasize.There is no efficiency in students’learning;on the contrary,they don’t care of their health for study;they can’t learn in order to practise and they don’t have any creation or invention or discovery or design and so on.Worse,they will be sicken of learning;they will cheat;they will hate the teachers who put them to shame and the students the teachers are fond of;even they will retaliate the teachers\the students\the school and the society.
Albert Einstein,the famous scientist,had early speech difficulties,yet he was affluent in thought.However,for teachers in elementary school,he was a dull-witted child and had a monstrous brain.he had bored any course:not only art and literature,but also mathematics and science.Afterwards,he left school temporarily,his mother and his uncle give big enlightenment,his mother give him many journals that have games of mathermatics and science in particular,which make him interest in that(mathermatics and science).In this way,he cherished deep love for learning.Finally he became a well-known scientist.John Galliano,a genius he is in art design;but it wouldn’t occur to you that he had ever been discriminated against by other students and teachers with his eccentric behaviour in childhood.So it does,Galliano have many harmful customs that is difficult to rectify and criminal charges.Hitler,no use putting forward,had even been looked down upon and have become the condemned by history in the world.
Therefore,does you ask what change do I want to make in a school my attending,I will answer:Please let teachers be friendly and understanding to students,care about them.Although it is hard.Of course,you can help teachers lighten these jobs by some methods such as recruiting more qualified and excellent teachers and give them more decent pays;or cultivating teachers in psychology.
