What skills would you like to learn? What skills should be taught in school?

For now, I would like to learn a foreign language, for example English. English is a worldwide language. You can use it in many countries. Students start to learn English from primary school. A foreign language’s study includes speaking, reading , writing and so on. All of them are very important. Among them ,I would like to improve my speaking skill especially. I hope I can talk to others in English fluently and I think it’s so cool. If I am good at English speaking and then I can go abroad for traveling at any time I like . I will enjoy myself and talk to local people .

Students will be taught a lot of skills when they are in school. The most essential skill is to know how to solve problems. The ability of solving problems is more important compared to results or scores. When the problems happen, students maybe don’t know the answer but they would not be afraid of them. They are willing to face the problem and solve it use their logical thinking.
