English Worksheet 1
‘Girls and boys should be taught in separate schools.’
Write an essay giving arguments for and against this statement and also state your own opinion.
1 Everyone agrees that education is a verytask important matter, but not everyone agrees about, the best way to teach children. One controversial question that people disagree on is whether girls and boys should be educated separately.
2 There are several advantages to single-sex schools. Firstly, schools can concentrate on teaching subjects that interest students most for example, girls are often more interested in languages and an all-girl school can find more time for such subjects in the timetable. Secondly, many people think that girls and boys learn better in classes of the same sex. They say that there is more competition between students and that generally results are better. Finally, supporters old single-sex schools also believe that students are calmer and behave better, too.
3 However, there are many arguments against, single-sex schools. Firstly, critics of such schools save that they encourage young people to make stereotypical choices about their futures, this is because students often don’t have the chance to try things which are less typical for their gender. But perhaps the biggest disadvantage is that they do not give boys and girls a chance to socialize with each other. This can make it hard for people to adapt to the ‘normal’ world after they finish school.
4 In conclusion, although single-sex schools can be a good thing, especially academically, they also have a negative side. In my opinion, the biggest argument against these schools is that, they do not give young men and women the chance to understand each other better.
