Pre-TOEFL All students should be required to study art and music in secondary school. - revised -

Lesson 21  Writing Topic

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? All students should be required to study art and music in secondary school. Give specific reasons to support your answer. 中等学校で美術・音楽は必修にすべき

 

Let’s Think

Secondary schools are junior high school and high school. Usually, all students are required to study art and music in junior high school, while in high school, they are elective courses. Why do you think so?

中等学校は中学・高校。通常、美術や音楽は中学校では必修科目で高校では選択科目。なぜだろう?

 

Hints for Points

1.     Arts and music nurture the mind of students.

美術や音楽は生徒の精神を育てる。

2.     Secondary school students should be given chances to expand their world as much as possible.

自分の世界拡大の機会を与えられるべき。

3.     Habit to enjoy good art and music should be maintained through all education years.

芸術鑑賞の習慣の維持。

4.     Art and music are not the main subjects.

主要科目ではない。

5.     Some may enjoy drawing or painting pictures, while they may feel horrified by the thought of singing in front of others. 

絵を描くのは好きでも人前で歌うのは嫌かもしれない。

6.     Art and music should be optional in secondary school.

選択科目にすべき。

 

Sample Development

1.       Arts and music nurture the mind of students. They open their eyes towards various possibilities of intellectual activities, develop their sensibilities, and give them reason to live. These experiences motivate students to learn other subjects and help them learn them deeply. Middle school students are still growing, and they should be given opportunities to receive this education.

美術や音楽は生徒の精神を育てる。知的活動の様々な可能性に向かって目を開かせ、感受性を発達させ、生きる理由を与える。これらの経験は他の科目を学ぶ動機づけになり、深く学ぶことを助ける。中等学校生は成長中なのでこの教育の機会を与えられるべき。

 

2.       Secondary school students should be given chances to expand their world as much as possible. Those who had no interest in art and music in primary school may do in secondary school. The school should provide opportunities to experience the finest pieces humans make at low cost when one is ready to appreciate them.

自分の世界拡大の機会を与えられるべき。小学校で芸術に興味がなくても中等学校で興味を持つかもしれない。鑑賞する心の準備ができた時に、人間が作る最良の作品を低コストで経験する機会を学校は提供すべき。

 

3.       Art and music should be optional in secondary school. The basics of art and music are taught at primary school, and students already know their aptitudes. They can decide whether taking these subjects will benefit them or not. Both art and music are for the joy of life, and it is putting the cart before the horse to force students to learn them. Therefore, they should have the right to choose.

選択科目にすべき。小学校で基礎を学習し、向き不向きは分かっている。自分の利益になるかどうか自分で決められる。芸術は人生の楽しみの為であり強制するのは本末転倒。従って選択の権利があるべき。
