44 and a few other
45 . But why do they learn these things? Are these the only things they should learn at school?

46 themselves for the time when they will be grown up and will have to
47 themselves. They learn their own language
48 they will be able to
49 with people in foreign countries, make friends with them and learn
50 about their culture and history. They learn mathematics in order to be able to measure the things around them and calculate sums.
51 helps them understand something about the world around them and history teaches them about the past and people. Nearly everything they study at school has some use
52 in their 53 , but there is one more
54 reason why children go to school.
It is more important to receive education than just learning
55 .We go to school
56 to learn how to learn. Learning is not just for school but for life. So even after we have left school, we have to continue to learn. A man who
57 knows how to learn will always be

59 , children do not go to school just to learn languages, mathematics, geography, etc. They go to school to
60 how to learn.
