    Here is a 190-word essay on the topic "School does not prepare students for the world of work": [Introduction] While schools aim to provide students with academic knowledge, many argue that the education system fails to adequately prepare youth for their professional careers. In this essay, I will discuss three main reasons why schooling does not fully equip students for the realities of the working world. [Paragraph 1] Firstly, the curriculum in schools focuses heavily on theoretical learning rather than practical or hands-on skills.

    ❖ CONTINUOUSLY FOR THIS PERIOD OF TIME:

    ❖ A PLACE THAT IS A POPULAR DESTINATION FOR VACATIONS OR RECREATION:


    ❖ TO HAPPEN IN A WAY THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU EXPECT:
    ❖ INCLUDING EVERYTHING OR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY ALL THE COST.
    ❖ A TEST OF THE PERFORMANCE, QUALITIES, OR SUITABILITY OF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING.
    ❖ TOLERATE OR ENDURE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE:
    ❖ WITHOUT MOVEMENT:
    ❖ A PARTICULAR PLACE:
    ❖ A DISADVANTAGE OR THE NEGATIVE PART OF A SITUATION:

    PAST SIMPLE
    We use the past simple to talk about completed actions in the past. (cannot be the same)

    We ate out yesterday. (the action is finished) (15-10-2021)


    In a story, we use the past simple to talk about past events in chronological order; i.e.
    the main events of a story.

    When she opened (1) the door, she pretended (2) that we weren’t there, and she went (3) to
    her room.
    He called (1) me and told (2) me to go, but when I arrived (3), he wasn’t there.

    PAST CONTINUOUS

    Actions in progress in the past


    We use the past continuous to talk about actions that were in progress (not finished) at a
    specific moment in the past.
    What were you doing at 9?’ ‘I was studying.’
    Describing a scene
    We often use the past continuous at the beginning of a story to describe the situation.
    It was getting dark, and I was walking fast. Suddenly …

    PAST CONTINUOUS AND PAST SIMPLE

    When we use these two tenses together, it shows us that the past simple action
    happened in the middle of the past continuous action, while it was in progress.

    While I was studying, I suddenly felt sleepy.


    We often use these tenses to show an action interrupting another action.

    I broke my leg when I was skiing.


    As I was going to work, I saw an old friend. (2 actions happened at the same time)
    I went to work, and I saw my friend. (Happened at different times)
    We were watching television when the power went off.
    We often use them with the past continuous to refer to background events:
    While he was working, he often listened to music.
    As she was leaving the court, a crowd of photographers gathered around her. (before the
    main clause, followed by a comma)

    Use the words in brackets to put the following into the correct tense – the past simple
    or past continuous. 1. I used my time well while I (wait) was waiting for my plane – I wrote some
    emails.
    2. I (not/work) wasn’t working when my boss walked in the office: I was on Facebook.
    3. I saw a car crash when I (wait) was waiting for the taxi.
    4. Tom (have) had long hair and a beard when he was at university.
    5. It started snowing while I (drive) was driving to work.
    6. What (you/do) were you doing this time last year?
    7. I (not/call) didn’t call you at 9 o'clock as arranged because I was having a meeting.
    8. I (still/sleep) was still sleeping when my wife left for work this morning.
    9. Why did you bring your umbrella? (it/rain) Was it raining when you left home?

    When we talk about things in the past that are not true anymore, we can do it in different ways.
    USED TO
    We can use used to, to talk about past states that are not true anymore.
    We used to live in New York when I was a kid. (+)
    There didn't use to be a supermarket there. (-)
    Did you use to have a garden? (?)
    We can also use used to to talk about past habits (repeated past actions) that don't happen
    anymore.
    I used to go / I would go /swimming every Thursday when I was at school.
    She used to smoke /shew would smoke/ but she gave up a few years ago.

    WOULD
    We can also use would to talk about repeated past actions that don't happen anymore.
    Every Saturday I would go on a long bike ride.
    My dad would read me amazing stories every night at bedtime.

    • Would for past habits is slightly more formal than used to.
    • We don't use the negative or question form of would for past habits.
    ✓ She didn't use to like chocolate, but she does now. (Correct)
    ❖ She wouldn’t like chocolate, but she does now. (Incorrect)
    ✓ Did he use to study French? (Correct)
    ❖ Would he study French? (Incorrect)

    • Used to is for past states (stative verbs) or actions but would is for past actions only.
    ✓ When I was young, I used to go fishing with my father every summer. (Correct)
    ✓ When I was young, I would go fishing with my father every summer. (Correct)
    ✓ She used to have a house in the country. (Correct)
    ❖ She would have a house in the country. (Incorrect)

    • When we emphasise the period of time or we mention when, we use past simple
    She worked for a factory for three years.
    • Past simple doesn't emphasise the repeated of the action. If something happened only once, we
    must use the past simple.
    ✓ We used to go to the same beach every summer.
    ✓ We would go to the same beach every summer.
    ✓ We went to a beach on the summer of 2014.

    –Start every paragraph with a topic sentence – the main idea you will back up with arguments.
    While writing, pay special attention to:
    • Tense – normally you should use present tenses in this type of essay.
    • Linking words – use different expressions for giving reasons (one reason for ... is / many people believe
    that... / since... / due to...), expressions opinions (to my mind... / I am convinced that... / from my point of
    view...), adding ideas (first of all.../ secondly... / what is more, …/ finally... ), etc.
    • Formal vocabulary – do not use idioms, phrasal verbs or colloquial expressions.
    • Formal punctuation – do not use exclamation marks, parentheses and contractions.
    • Citing sources where necessary.

    Conclusion
    – Restate what you have said in the introduction
    – Summarize your reasoning
    – You should avoid introducing a new idea or apologizing for your views.
    – To make your essay more engaging, you can end with a warning, ask a provocative question or suggest
    consequences.
