Nowadays,some schools teach traditional subjects like math,geography,and language,but they
aiso teach life skills.Life skills classes teach students how to keep their rooms clean and tidy,take care
of their health,and have healthy personal relationships().Some people say these classes prepare
students better for life in the real world.But other people say these classes aren't important.Students
should only pay attention to how to get into university.What do you think?
Some people like the idea of teaching life skills in schools.They believe that life skills classes
give students what they need to know to live on their own,whether they go to college or get a job after
high school.They help prepare students for everyday real-life situations,such as cooking a meal and
managing money.Many of these classes also teach"soft skills",like how to listen and talk to people in
a positive()way,which are important in the workplace and in personal relationships.As
students learn more life skills,they become more confident in themselves.
On the other hand,some people argue that there is no time for more subjects at school.They think
it's more important to teach traditional subjects than life skills at school.Many students choose not to
take life skills classes because these classes don't improve their chances of getting into university.
People also think it should be the job of parents to teach their kids what they need to know at home.
Personally,I think we already learn many life skills while doing traditional subjects.For example,
we learn teamwork by doing group work,and organizing()our homework teaches us how to use

B.parents'first job is to teach their children life skills
C.students can leam life skills in their traditional subjects
D.teachers should learn life skills together with their students

research study called "Music Improves()Sleep Quality in Students".This study looked at college

music before bedtime.Those students slept better and even felt happier.
Scientists in Finland,England,and the United States have shown that music helps students learn.
Listening to music can help you when you're leaming something new.It can also help you better

remember what you've leamed.It can even help when you take a test,according to a British study.
