Why do we need school? - Writing W1 T4

 Why do we need school?

Why do we need school? Now that's something someone could probably easily answer. We need school to learn, to get a good job, and to learn how to socialize. This essay will tell you more about why we need school.

To learn.

Learning is the keypoint of school. It really helps you alot and could possibly change your life. Reading can teach you about the world and helps your imaginative mindset grow, math teaches you about numbers and teaches you how to add, subtract, and multiply, but besides all that there are many subjects that can help you in different ways. 

To get a good job.

Learning these subjects in school can really help you get a job in the future. Say you wanted to become an author for example, you’ll need to know the basics of reading and writing to support that decision. Not knowing how to write could be a disaster and not knowing how to read would be awful. How can you reach the goal of being an author if you don’t know how to read and write?

To socialize. 

School is a place where you will meet others, and make friends. In school, you learn how to socialize with other people by buddying up. Talking with others and learning how to communicate is a really great example of social interaction. 

In conclusion, school is really important for your life. Without school where would society be?

He is a strong, valient, but jealous reef guardian, from fiji. He battles many others like him from everywhere. As he defeats yet another reef guardian, his friend tells him about a one he has not come across yet.
