Some people believe children should learn how to use a computer at school. Other people think young children should focus on learning academic subjects. Which do you think is better for children? why?


There are some advantages to children concentrating on academic subjects. However, overall I feel that children should learn computer skills at school. The main reason is that computer skills may help them get a good job in the future. For example, my sister had computer lessons at school and because her computer skills are good, she easily got a great job after graduating from university. In contrast, my cousin didn't learn about computers at school and he lacks good computer skills. For this reason, he thinks schools should teach children about computers. 


There are some advantages to spending time with others. However, overall I feel that enjoying leisure time alone is better. The main reason is that I can save money. For example, when I am on my own I can do activities like walking in the park or reading a library book. Doing things is important for me these days because I don't have much money. In contrast, if I hang out with friends, usually we go out and I have to buy things like food, coffee, or movie tickets. so that's why I prefer spending my time by myself.
