some people say Histroy is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that, in today's world, subjects like Science and Technology are more important than History. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

There is a controversial discussion about what
subjects
are the most important to learn. Some believe that it should be
history
but some oppose it saying that
subjects
like
science
and
technology
are the most important. According to my point of view, I believe that both areas are equally important and
therefore
in

will
firstly
discuss the importance of
history
and
secondly
science
and

with relevant examples.

Thus
learning
history
gives students a clear idea about their cultural background and how our ancestors survived and evolved with time.
For instance

teaches us techniques and tactics that can be used if there is any invasion. The students can

Thus

such
stories make us motivated to face

challenges fearlessly.
Secondly
, learning
history
is the best way to understand our cultural background. It is said that Sri Lanka is a part of India and the civilization started with Prince Vijaya and his seven hundred followers.
On the other hand
,
Science
and
technology
are considered the most important subject in the school curriculum because studying
such
subjects
create a pool of opportunities for the future. Even nowadays
technology
and emerging
technology
had taken over the world as they make people's lives convenient.
For instance
, smart devices
such
as smartphones and tablets had made the world a small place as people can communicate with one another despite the location and
also
can order food without leaving the comfort of their homes.
Thus
, learning about those
subjects
will give them the opportunity to find a job easily.
Additionally
, those who work in those fields earn more than those who work in regular p[rofessions.
For example
, based on a New York Times survey people who work in
technology
and
science
fields earn more than
regular

professions. In conclusion, it is true that
history
is a crucial subject to learn about the past but I
also
believe that learning about
science
and
technology
is equally important as we are moving into the technical era.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
