Changes

Would you like to learn to speak Mandarin,

the main language of the Chinese people?

Do you think it’s a good idea to learn about

environmental problems like climate change at

school? In the UK today schools want to teach

new subjects, not traditional ones They want to

teach students about things that are important

today

For example, China is becoming a very

important country for business Some teachers

think it’s better for students to learn Mandarin at

school than Spanish or French At the moment

French is the most popular language in UK

schools but it’s not very useful for the students’

future jobs

Geography lessons are also changing Some

people think it’s more important to learn about

modern environmental problems in geography

than to learn about continents and countries.

A lot of people don’t like the changes They think

it’s important for children to study traditional

subjects at schools and learn different subjects

later Of course, parents want their children to

learn EVERYTHING but unfortunately there isn’t

enough time in the day and I’m sure children

don’t want to stay at school in the evenings too!

My dream job is to be a teacher I think it’s an interesting job and also you get

a lot of free time! I know teachers have to work hard in the evenings and atthe weekend but in the summer they get the same breaks as the children.That’s cool!

2

I’d like to have a job where I don’t work alone I like working with other peopleand it’s good to plan things and do them together People are good at differentthings and if you work together you can do more

5

One day I’ll have a job where I can earn a lot! I love shopping and buyingthings so the pay is important for me! I suppose a doctor earns a lot or maybe

an engineer I know it takes a long time to study to become a doctor – but well,

I think I can do that!
