Some people think that secondary school children should study international news as one of the school subjects. Other people think that it is a waste of valuable school time. What do you think? There are certain people argue that middle schools should teach children about international news as a formal course, while others argue that it doesn’t worth the time. From my perspective, I suggest schools should take that specific course into consideration, as it is beneficial for kids to broaden horizon as well as adapt to a new environment when they stay overseas. To begin with, once secondary schools offer students with international broadcast programs, their insight won’t be restricted in just their hometown. In fact, it’s a perfect time to let middle schoolers reach out to fresh knowledge they’ve never known before, in this case, they feel like the boundaries of the planet earth is limitless, leads them to walk out of the comfort zone. For instance, when one of my middle school teachers provided us a local American newspaper to read during a class, my curiosity reached a brand new level, which is why I decided to major in American history at Boston University. Additionally, schools which teach children about international news improve students' chances of successfully participating in a foreign exchange program. While kids travel or live abroad, the international news taught in middle school would help them get used to the customs and cultures in another country. For example, after my cousin received international courses when she was 14, she had no difficulties in communicating with other students from different cultural backgrounds while doing an exchange program in Germany. In conclusion, learning about international news during middle school years does benefit teenagers in two ways, which are seeing the world in a different way and developing a greater understanding of foreign lifestyles.

To begin with, once secondary schools offer students international news courses, their insight won’t be restricted to just their hometown. In fact, it’s a perfect time to let middle schoolers discover fresh knowledge they’ve never known before. If they develop the perspective that the boundaries of planet earth are imaginary/or: If they develop the perspective that no true boundary exists between different peoples/countries, they will be motivated to leave their comfort zone. For instance, one of my middle school teachers provided us with local American newspaper to read during a class, my curiosity reached to a brand new level, which is why I decided to major in American history in Boston University. On the other hand, schools which teach children about international news give students chances to get to be involved in a foreign society quickly.
