Hello everyone, I want to pass the Cambridge Advanced Exam. C1
Can you help me with this essay?

If you ask young people about their future plans they will probably answer that they want to study something related to show business, arts, law, medicine, etc. Science is one of the last options, it seems unattractive to the majority of young people. Why is that so? How can we change this fact?

Whenever we switch on the television we see actors and singers, they are the idols of the new generation, specially for the youngest ones. We rarely see scientist on TV and when we do they normally play a boring role. However there is a comedy (The Big Bang Theory) , where the protagonists are scientists, but they are qualified as nerds and are not seen as cool. The scientist should have a better image in the media.

Another aspect to be considered is education. There are many government grands to study for example languages abroad, but there isn´t anything similar for science. It would be great to give children the oportunity to study abroud (or inside the country) a few weeks in a schience camp where they can learn different subjects and do experiments, even visit a laboratory and see a real scientist work.

On balance, I believe we should show our youngsters that a science career can also be thrilling , not only with advertising, government grants or school programmes, but informing them about the different kind of jobs they could work in.
