IELTS preparation. Essay. Very 1st attempt ~43 min Education is vey important. How can children who are disinterested in study be motivated to learn? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. ------ Motivation to education is the engine of personal development and, as a consequence, of the future place of the child in society. At child's age the most valuable things are relations with classmates, making friends and getting sympathy and the respect of conteporaries. Only few of them fully understand how their education influence on their lifes. They don't want to study and the only way is to find new innovative methods to motivate children to learn. In my essay I would like to review 2 reasons why demotivation takes place. First reason is assosiated with the govermental position and view on current educational standards. Even they were developped by famous teacher 50 years ago they still continue being practiced. By that I mean 40 minutes lesson, paper study books, raising hands for the answer. I our school teacher still use black board and white chalk. Personal computer was invented 30 years ago and despite that they were not used. Several years ago they started penetrating schools but it is still used with minimal functionality. The right solution for government I see is to make a competition within software development companies in partnership with ministery of education to produce attractive game looking educational services for all school disciplines. On the other hand the interactive world surraunded the young generation makes them spend many hours not with books but surfering in Internet or chatting with friends in social networks. For example, according to official report children of school age sit at the computer in average 8 hours a day. Parents should control the time and protect them as from unauthorized content as from long staying in virtuality. I would like to summarize the mentioned above that children's motivation to learn is a problem which should be solved in complex. It depends not only upon children but also society including parents, teachers, business and goverment. ---- PS. It is not so bad education in Russia, I composed more of the things. :) I'm afraid that text is too easy.
