Essay Question:
Some people think that students should only study subjects that will be useful for their future career. Do you
agree?

Essay:
In todays competitive world, many believe that students should focus only on subjects that are beneficial for
their future careers. While this idea has its merits, I believe that students should study a wide range of
subjects.

Firstly, focusing solely on career-oriented subjects can limit students' knowledge and creativity. Subjects like
art or history may not be directly useful for a specific job, but they contribute to personal development.

Secondly, students often change their minds about their future careers. A broader education allows them to
explore different fields before making final decisions.

In conclusion, although career-focused education has advantages, I strongly believe that a well-rounded
education is more beneficial in the long term.

Review: Inception (Film)

If you enjoy movies that challenge your mind, Inception is a must-watch. Directed by Christopher Nolan, this
film explores the concept of dreams within dreams.

The storyline is complex but incredibly engaging. The visuals are stunning, and the soundtrack keeps you on
edge.

However, it can be confusing for some viewers, especially towards the end.

Overall, I would highly recommend Inception to anyone who enjoys science fiction and thrillers. Its a brilliant
