Essay

Many people contend that the government doesn’t provide enough grants for students who want to continue their studies after high school. I mean not only financial helps but also practical help and this total abandonment often leaves young people disoriented and despondent about their future.
As a result many of them decide to start working immediately without reaching their aim and leaving their ambitions in the drawer and this wide phenomenon takes place especially for those more menial and honest characters who can’t rely on their financial situation or a powerful friendship.

In this essay I want to focus on two particular approaches that the government could follow in order to change this dismal reality that sees a lot of students choose a university faculty almost casually, therefore without being fully conscious of where that degree will lead them. The best solution could consist of organizing different arrangements between high schools and local firms by apprentice schemes or visits from employers.

Concerning the second one, volunteer employers would be called to speak about their companies and their responsibilities in front of the class and could be questioned directly by the interested parties.
Conversely organizing a trip to an office could be more difficult, even if in this way students would understand in person what should they are expected to be able to do in a company and the importance of working  in a team under the leader’s supervision.

This in my opinion is the most immediate and direct way to prepare young people for working life and that may well be so but, on the other hand, there is the risk of discouraging  them. In my view speaking with employers should create a stimulating discussion and it’s the simplest way to investigate all the pros and cons of one's choices.

Hello Elisa,

This is a nice essay with some good points being raised. There are one or two places where I think you have chosen the wrong word and also some grammar mistakes.

Hope this helps
