Your class has listened to a radio discussion on how more young people can be encouraged
to study science. You have made the notes below:
advertising
school programmes
government grants
“You never see positive images of young scientists on TV, just pop stars or actors.”
“If young people see science as a career, they’ll want to study it.”
Write an essay discussing two of the points in your notes. You should explain which way
would be more effective in encouraging young people to study science, providing
reasons to support your opinion.
You may, if you wish, use the opinions expressed in the discussion, but you should use your
own words as far as possible.
It is undoubtedly the case that science plays a great role in our everyday
lives. Much has been said about the sciences lately, as many students feel
discouraged to choose scientific degrees when it comes to deciding their
future. Given the importance of scientific development, it would be key for
societies to motivate future generations to support the sciences. The
question now is: how can young people be encouraged to study science?
To sum up, it appears that school programmes are the key to stimulate
students’ interest in science as a field with great potential for their future.
Hopefully, in the coming years, we will see an increase in the number of
science graduates across university campuses, which will definitely have a
positive impact on society.
