Topic:Some people think secondary school students should learn international news as one of their subjects, while others believe that this is a waste of valuable time. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Whether we encourage secondary school students to learn international news has brought about bitter controversy. It is plausible to suppose that learning international news is good for students’ development. And yet some of people argue that it is a waste of children’s time. There are some benefits to study international news from the stage of secondary school. Firstly, learning news allows students to practice their ability of analysis. They can use their knowledge taught by their teachers into analyzing news. Secondly,middle school students are activated interest in learning some new knowledge. For example, some coverage is about sophisticated technology,which compel students to look up more materials to understand this technology. Last but not least, students are able to know this world well through reading news. International news gives students up-to-date and objective views about this world. All in all ,it is helpful to learn news about globe. On the other hand, some people insist that learning news in secondary school will waste student’s learning time. Students have to face many heavy homework and they are forced to study a plethora of subjects in school. There is limited time available for students to study news. In addition, some international news is too complex for middle school students to understand, such as coverage about politics. In my view, international news as one of subjects in secondary school will led to increase student’s study stress. We can encourage students to learn international news as their interest instead of subject.
