The option to start work straight after school is attractive for several reasons. Many young people want to start earning money as soon as possible. In this way, they can become independent, and they will be able to afford their own house or start a family.

PHẦN A

People have different views about how much choice students should have with regard to what they can study at university. While some argue that it would be better for students TO BE FORCED INTO CERTAIN KEY SUBJECT AREAS (phải bắt buộc học các môn học chính nhất định) I believe that everyone should be able to study the course of their choice.

There are various reasons why people believe that universities should only offer subjects that will be useful in the future. They may assert that university courses like medicine, engineering and information technology are more likely to be beneficial than certain art degrees. From a personal perspective, it can be argued that these courses PROVIDE MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES (cung cấp nhiều cơ hội việc làm hơn), CAREER PROGRESSION (thăng tiến trong sự nghiệp), BETTER SALARIES (mức lương cao hơn), and therefore AN IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE (chất lượng cuộc sống được cải thiện) for students who take them. On the societal level, by forcing people to choose particular university subjects, governments can ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered. Finally, a focus on technology in HIGHER EDUCATION (giáo dục đại học) could LEAD TO NEW INVENTIONS (tạo ra những phát minh mới), ECONOMIC GROWTH (tăng trưởng kinh tế), and GREATER FUTURE PROSPERITY (sự thịnh vượng hơn trong tương lai).

In spite of these arguments, I believe that university students should BE FREE TO CHOOSE THEIR PREFERRED AREAS OF STUDY (được tự do lựa chọn ngành học họ yêu thích hơn). In my opinion, society will benefit more if our students are passionate about what they are learning. Besides, nobody can really predict which AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE (các lĩnh vực kiến thức) will be most useful to society in the future, and it may be that employers begin to VALUE CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS (đánh giá cao kỹ năng tư duy sáng tạo) above practical or technical skills. IF THIS WERE THE CASE (nếu điều này xảy ra), perhaps we would need more students of art, history and philosophy than of science or technology.

In conclusion, although IT MIGHT SEEM SENSIBLE FOR universities TO (có vẻ hợp lý cho … để làm gì) focus only on the most useful subjects, I personally prefer the current system in which people have the right to study whatever they like.

On the other hand, I believe that it is more beneficial for students to continue their studies. Firstly, academic qualifications are required in many professions. For example, it is impossible to become a doctor, teacher or lawyer without having the relevant degree. As a result, university graduates have access to more and better job opportunities, and they tend to earn higher salaries than those with fewer qualifications. Secondly, the job market is becoming increasingly competitive, and sometimes there are hundreds of applicants for one position in a company. Young people who do not have qualifications from a university or college will not be able to compete.
