Argue/Persuade/Advise - Task 5

Education.Education.Education.These were words spoken by the former Prime Minister Tony Blair emphasising the importance of Education.Many people including me thought he was a muppet and so didn't take his words very seriously.However, we soon realised that in his words he spoke some wisdom.

When I was your age I used to muck about in my lessons.I was year seven, it wasn't like I was taking my exam now was it?CATs were a big joke anyway ,so what was the point of studying when I could just have fun?Fun.Fun.Fun was my motto back then.Hitler couldn't get in the way of my fun so who was a teacher.They were going to get paid whether I learnt or not.

Now in year ten I regret what I did.I regret not listening to my teacher who wanted the best for me.I regret listening to what my parents said in one ear and letting it out the other.I regret giving in to peer pressure.Regret.Regret.Regret.It runs through my veins like blood.

Though this is true it doesn't have to be the same for you.You can break loose the chains of peer pressure and what people think of you and do as you are told by your elders.There are people who dream of going to school but can't and yet we take it for granted.Our teachers as annoying as they may seem are only out to get the best out of us.


I know at this age you are more worried about what your peers think of you but thats not going to get you your high flying career path.Education is the key to success.You may be seen as a geek now but when you are living in a penthouse with a high flying job as a consultant in a hospital then we will see what the 'cool' people will say when they are carrying your basket in ASDA.
