It is as important to teach children to protect the environment as it is to teach them to
read and write. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
A On the one hand, caring about the environment is important for any society. It is certainly
important to develop this habit early. For example, in Singapore, parents encourage their
children to pick up litter and not waste stuff. Children should also learn how to protect the
environment at school. During lessons at school, it is very important for teachers to discuss
topics like pollution and global warming and help students understand how they can reduce
the harmful effects on the environment.
B In conclusion, I believe that learning to take care of the environment should be part of our
education, but it is not as important as reading and writing abilities. In order to be
well-prepared for the future, young students should focus on learning to read or write at
school.
C In today’s world, there is an opinion that teaching children about environment protection is
as important as teaching them basic language skills. In my opinion, the two areas seem to be
so different, but, generally, I think reading and writing are more important.
D Reading and writing, on the other hand, are things that everyone needs. Most pupils start
to learn to read and write before they can think much about life. For example, students need
to read a lot over their school years in order to have enough knowledge and ideas to discuss
complex problems. Being able to express thoughts and feelings is very important if they want
to go to university or get a good job.
