【教育类】

Some people think that students should be encouraged to study those fields such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics rather than they have interest in. Do you agree or disagree？有人认为学生们应该学习科技，工程学，数学，而不是他们感兴趣的课程，你是否认同这个观点？（2016年11月5日）

【相关题目】

It is more important to choose to study a subject that interests you than a subject preparing you better for a job or career. Do you agree or disagree？学习感兴趣的课程比学习有助于就业的课程更加重要，你是否同意这个观点？（ 2006年11月19日）

Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. 有人认为学生们应该学习他们感兴趣的科目，有人认为学生们应该学习对于未来有用的课程，讨论两种观点，谈及你的立场。

【头脑风暴】

路遥在《人生》中写道："人生的道路虽然漫长，但紧要处常常只有几步，特别是当人年轻的时候。"每一种选择都是一种取舍，人人都想随心而活，活出精彩。但是，有时候我们在拒绝之前，要先向现实妥协，这就是为何很多大学生不得不放弃自己心爱的专业，而选择一个便于就业的，有前程的专业。

是选择便于就业的法律、会计还是心爱的中文、英语，小鹏哥也曾青春迷茫。但是，选你所爱，爱你所选，才能青春无悔，人生幸福。

【写作立场】

和选择实用性的课程相比，我更鼓励年轻人学习自己喜爱的课程。

【思路拓展】

为何学习感兴趣的课程

兴趣是最好的老师，学习感兴趣的课程可以激发学习热情，开发一个人无限的潜能。

若非学习感兴趣的课程，即使一个人找到一份赚钱的工作，也容易产生职业倦怠。

如果能把个人兴趣和职业理想完美结合，这是一种人生的成功。

为何学习实用性的课程

教育是一种投资，每一个投资者渴望获得高额回报，即一份稳定高薪有前途的事业，以择业为导向的课程更容易帮助人实现这个目标。

【范文赏析】

首段：背景介绍  + 争议焦点 + 写作立场

Education is one of the key words of our time, however, people's views differ greatly as to which should be the superior option of academic pursuit,to opt for courses conducing to future career or to focus on subjects that interest them. As I see it, compared with choosing subjects that can help young adults ready themselves for career challenges, to deliberately specialize in one's favorite courses is more commendable.

二段：反驳段：学习感兴趣的课程的利好

Opting for the courses in which one takes considerable interest will enjoy more visible merits. First, one's study motivation can be highly stimulatedprovided that one can choose subjects exerting a peculiar fascination on him or her. Conversely, people might generate career burnout even if they might get profit-making jobs.

三段：反驳段：学习感兴趣的课程的利好

Also, taking one's favorite subjects can fully tap his or her infinite potentials. Meanwhile, one can fully enjoy the process of learning and career life. Apart from that, it is also a sort of success if one can perfectly combine specialized knowledge with career ambition. Therefore, college students have sound reasons to select the courses that interest them.

四段：让步段：学习实用性课程的利好

Indeed, I have to concede that the acquisition of pragmatic courses might still have some benefits. Sure enough, job-related courses will help one outshine many candidates and successfully secure a decent job. That is why some people feel that education is a kind of investment and competitive courses such as engineering, science and technology can, in most cases, earn high interests. Thereby, what some people are concerned about is whether the course of their choice can lead to a profitable career. After all, career-related subjects can lay a solid foundation for climbing the career ladder.

尾段：亮明观点 + （总结理由）

In closing, I re-affirm my conviction that even though choosing utilitarian subjects is never without merit, university students should still be encouraged to choose their favorite areas of study.
