(Текст вашего эссе) Тема 2.7. Образование в России и за рубежом, среднее профессиональное образование

Упражнение 1. Прочтите и устно переведите текст «Education» с английского языка на русский.

Education

It is widely known that education helps to form the personality and prepares one for life. That is why all countries consider the system of education a very important part of national politics. Schoolchildren often complain that school is boring and a waste of time. I think, the most part of the things we learn at school are useful to us in many ways.

Firstly, school gives children general knowledge which helps them in their everyday life. My own experience shows that knowledge of subjects such as Geography and History, for example, helps to understand what is happening in the world around us. Without this knowledge, we can’t understand daily TV and newspaper reports, or watch TV documentaries and travelogues.

Moreover, some school subjects help people develop an interest in hobbies. As for me, I like to spend my free time surfing the Internet. Computer Studies at school helps me to do it.

On the other hand, there are some useless subjects at school. I don’t like Algebra, for example, and I don’t understand how to memorize formulas.

To sum up, I believe that, it is wrong to say that we shouldn’t study subjects. All subjects are necessary and important. They give us a very deep knowledge for our understanding of the world.
