rozprawka na temat edukacji
Education would be more
effective if it was optional.
Provide examples supporting your
point of view.
Many people believe that
education would be more
effective if it was optional. I
understand their point of view
and in my opinion they are
right, but I cannot agree with
all they claim.
In my view, it would be better
for the society and teenagers if
education was optional.
Nowadays, all young people under
18 have to go to school, and it
does not matter if they want it
or not. For example, they may
have talents and interests,
which they cannot develop at
school. In the future, they will
make a living from their
hobbies, and the knowledge
acquired at school is not
necessary in this case.
What is more, for people who
really want to learn, this
solution also has many
advantages. Teachers would have
fewer students, so consequently,
they could focus on them more
and would not lose time for
teaching people who do not
really want to learn.
On the other hand, everyone
should have basic knowledge
about geography, history or
mathematics, because it is
helpful in life. They do not
have to be experts in every
field of science, but they ought
to know where their country is
located and who the president
is.
In conclusion, all people should
learn, but only until they get
the necessary level of
knowledge. After that, education
should be only for those who
really want to learn, and then,
it would be more effective.

rozprawka na temat
wykorzystywania zwierząt w
eksperymentach
In your opinion, should animals
be used for experimentation or
not?
People are becoming more and
more indifferent to the
suffering of other beings. They
are afraid of themselves so much
that they use animals to protect
themselves against potential
side effects of drugs,
cosmetics, etc. But should we
use animals for experimentation?
As I see it, definitely not.
I firmly believe that animals
feel pain, cold, heat, hunger,
pressure and thirst. For
example, they are whining when
someone kicks or hits them. They
also respond with aggression,
just like humans, when they feel
threat or someone is trying to
harm them.
What is more, it seems to me
that animals should have more
rights. People will not be used
for experimentation if they do
not agree. What about animals?
It is inhuman to take advantage
of unprotected beings, which we
do not understand and they
cannot say what they think and
feel.
On the other hand, there are
people who think that animals
are deprived of feelings. Of
course, they cannot talk, but
how we can explain why they
become attached to their owners?
Why do they miss them? They are
definitely not deprived of
feelings.
In summary, I would say that we
should not use animals for
experimentation. We also belong
to the animal kingdom, even if
we consider ourselves more
evolved beings. We are only
mammals just like dogs, cats,
mice, elephants and monkeys. We
should protect animals as we
protect ourselves.

rozprawka na temat pieniędzy
World would be better without
money – true or false?
Nowadays, it seems that the
world depends on money. Having a
lot of money is often a dream of
every man. The common belief is
that „money can’t buy happiness”
but people realize that life
without it is impossible. I am
strongly convinced that world
without money wouldn’t be
better.
The main argument to prove my
opinion is that the world
without money would be very
weird. People are accustomed to
use money. It gives us the
possibility to acquire products.
Furthermore, the lack of money
has a negative impact on the
economy and the development of
countries. We would be far less
economically advanced. Moreover,
people wouldn’t have the
motivation to learn, go to the
university or train skills to
find a better job.
Finally, many people believe
that money is the cause of many
crimes like robberies or
corruption but it is unlikely
that crime would diminish only
that the target there of would
change.
I strongly believe that
moneyless world wouldn’t be
better. People think that money
is pure evil, but if money was
gone, things wouldn’t really be
better simply because world
without money doesn’t make any
sense.

rozprawka na temat przydatności
studiów
Some people think that school
and university should teach the
knowledge and skills needed in
the world of work. Other say
that schools and universities
should teach knowledge for its
own sake, without worrying about
future professional needs. What
do you think should be the main
function of schools and
universities?
Over the years, there has been
much debate about the true aim
of education. Should schools
prepare students for work, or
should the objective be
something different? To my mind,
the answer isn’t
straightforward. I am convinced
that we should not train
students in professional skills.
We should prepare students for
future life itself.
First and foremost, in my
opinion, the goal of education
should be to help students to
become independent thinkers and
learners. The essential idea is
to help young people to think
creatively so that they can
respond to future challenges and
problems in a positive and
constructive way.
Furthermore, if students are
trained in professional skills
at a very young age, we are
limiting their future career
possibilities. I believe it is
far more worthwhile to give
students general tools and
strategies at school and
university which they can apply
to any job in any particular
field. After all, companies can
always train employees after
school or university.
Some people claim that knowledge
that is not directly relevant to
the world of work serves no
purpose. I believe there is no
evidence to support this view.
How can we know exactly which
pieces of information any
particular student will need in
the future? By giving a broad
education, including elements of
all types of arts and sciences,
we help students develop as
complete people who can
gradually start specializing in
the subjects they are most
interested in or best at.
To sum up, as far as I am
concerned, schools and
universities are not simply
vocational colleges producing
future bankers, mechanics or
nurses. They are places where
young people should be trained
in life-long skills and
strategies that help them
develop and bring something
positive to the society in
general.

rozprawka na temat tego co jest
lepsze w edukacji: nagroda czy
kara
What is more important in
education of children,
punishment or award?
People who decide to have
children are likely not to
be aware of the difficulty of
bringing them up. After a couple
of years, they find out that
they are to choose the method of
raising their offspring’s
penalty or an award? In both
cases they can suffer the
consequences. As far as I am
concerned, I would rather reward
my child than punish him/her.
Due to the fact that children
are partial to sweets or toys,
their parents can take advantage
of this observation and create
an „award system”. This,
undoubtedly, will make their
relationship more clear and
logical. From child, they know
what is worthwhile and what is
worthless. A child repeats
majority of good behaviors and
he/she assures in them. Not only
do parents create a positive
atmosphere, but they also are
giving an example for their
children. As a result, they have
so strong relationship that it
cannot be destroyed even in
adolescence, the age of
rebelling, of their children.
Moreover, children have far
stronger motivation to reach
their aims as well as an
assurance of parents love and
proud. An award is sometimes
said to be spoiling children,
but assigning a penalty is a
similar story. Wise parents more
often will choose this method
which definitely does less harm
to their offspring.
To sum up, if somebody asked me,
I would choose rewarding
children rather than punishing
them. I also state that
punishment has a lot of sad
consequences and is not a reason
to motivate children at all.
