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。

　　托福写作范文赏析：

　　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 stimulated provided 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.
