II. TOPIC: Write an essay to discuss the opinion that arts should or shouldn’t be taught in high schools.
There have existed debates whether arts be taught in high schools. People who support the ideals
find it necessary that high school students know as much about arts as possible. In contrast, the protestors
think teaching arts to high school students is really a waste of time and money.
It is generally said by the supporters that studying arts benefits high school students several ways.
The first good thing is that arts help students have background knowledge of not only the nation but the
world cultures and history. Another benefit is that arts equip students with many necessary skills such as;
creative thinking, observing, problem solving, and critical thinking. People who want arts to be taught to
high school students also agree that arts are very fun and interesting to learn. We can say in other words
arts are attractive to any learners. The other advantage of arts is that learning arts help students to build
team spirit and community as art activities can be done in groups. Moreover, arts enable students to
socialize and students become more and more civilized and responsible.
In contrast, protestors believe that there is not enough time for teachers to cover all kinds of subjects
at school. So they should focus on core subjects like Maths, foreign languages and physics, etc. to save time
and money arts should only be elective, not compulsory subjects. Furthermore, students can learn more
about arts via media and arts are then their leisure activities. Additionally, arts, in the protestors’ opinion,
should be taught by parents as they may understand their children’s ability and talents better.
To conclude, there are different opinions that arts should or shouldn’t be taught in high schools.
Each side has reasonable explanations to convince and prove the points of view. For me, we can hardly be

civilized without knowledge of arts. Sooner or later, in my opinion, arts should be taught to students to help
them enrich their knowledge, to discover their talents to better their own lives.
