3. Work in pairs. Talk about the benefits of academic study
A: I think one of the main benefits of academic study is that it develops critical thinking skills. B: Yes, I agree. Academic study involves a lot of analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of information, which helps students become more critical thinkers. A: Another benefit is that it provides a broader education. While vocational training focuses on job-specific skills, academic study covers a wide range of subjects, including humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. B: That's true. And having a broader education can help students develop a range of transferable skills that can be applied in different fields. A: Lastly, academic study provides an opportunity to pursue advanced degrees, which can lead to better job opportunities and higher earnings in the long run. B: Absolutely. And pursuing an advanced degree can also help students specialize in a specific area of interest and gain expertise in their chosen field. A: So, to sum up, the three main benefits of academic study are developing critical thinking skills, providing a broader education, and offering opportunities for advanced degrees. B: Great! We're now ready to report to the class.

In our group, we discussed both options and agreed on the following. Academic study is suitable for hard-working students who are highly motivated and want to achieve their goals. Gifted students who have a particular talent, such as a maths or music talent can also benefit from university education. Vocational training is more suitable for students who learn through practical experience or by doing. It is also suitable for students who have decided on a specific trade job, such as a restaurant cook, a mechanic, or a hairstylist.
