My topic: Students should be choosing their own subjects in High school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
My answer:
Nowadays, students tend to make their own decision in studying by selecting their favorite subject in high school. While I understand the reason why some people consider this is not the best choice, I believe that choosing courses brings significant benefits.

On the one hand, the decision of choosing subjects makes students endure a hard time to integrate into society. Since they do not have a chance to share knowledge, they can not connect to other people which makes them feel left out. Moreover if they do not follow the given subject, they do not have specific direction with any support or encouragement from their teacher. In other words, they are under undue pressure with a lack of motivation. Therefore students tend to easily give up.

On the other hand, I think pupils would receive a lot of merits from being free to study their own subject. First of all, choosing subjects by themselves makes students feel excited about exploring their horizons. They are always in the state of conquering challenges to become the best version of themselves. It is also an effective way to step out of their comfort zone to focus on their own targets. Secondly, selecting a subject contributes to increasing the abilities of self study. Students are active in looking for information, materials to prepare for their homework or deadlines. For example, if one pupil has a passion for English, she or he will find a way to master this subject by surfing the internet to practice all the skills of English.

In conclusion, despite some drawbacks of selecting courses, I still believe the benefits of this are not indisputable.
