雅思大作文語料庫：感興趣的課程和實用性的課程

【教育類】

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. 有人認(rèn)為所有的大學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)他們喜歡的課程，有人認(rèn)為大學(xué)生應(yīng)該選擇對于未來職業(yè)有幫助的課程例如科技，討論兩種觀點。(劍橋雅思10題目)

【題目解析】題目指令中正方觀點認(rèn)為大學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)感興趣的課程，反方觀點認(rèn)為學(xué)生們應(yīng)該僅僅被允許學(xué)習(xí)對于未來有利好的課程。only 一詞含有唯一性，因此不宜支持。

【相關(guān)題目】

Some people believe theoretical subjects (e.g. math, philosophy and economy) should not be taught in universities because they should focus on practical subjects (e.g. computer technology, accounting.)To what extent do you agree or disagree? 有人認(rèn)為理論性課程不必教授，大學(xué)生應(yīng)該更多學(xué)習(xí)實用性課程，是否認(rèn)同?

【頭腦風(fēng)暴】

路遙在《人生》中寫道：“人生的道路雖然漫長，但緊要處常常只有幾步，特別是當(dāng)人年輕的時候。”每一種選擇都是一種取舍，人人都想隨心而活，活出精彩。但是，有時候我們在拒絕之前，要先向現(xiàn)實妥協(xié)，這就是為何很多大學(xué)生不得不放棄自己心愛的專業(yè)，而選擇一個便于就業(yè)的，有前程的專業(yè)。

是選擇便于就業(yè)法律、會計還是心愛的中文、英語，老師也曾青春迷茫。但是，選你所愛，愛你所選，才能青春無悔，人生幸福。

【作家立場】對比選擇便于實用性課程，鼓勵年輕人追求自己喜愛的專業(yè)更加可取。

【思路拓展】

v 為何選擇喜歡的課程

① 興趣是最好的老師，選我所愛，才能愛我所選。

② 人的潛能是因為熱愛而被激發(fā)，人生的奮斗過程就是追求稀缺的過程，我們要成為未來職場中的不可替代者。

③ 若能將興趣愛好和職業(yè)夢想完美結(jié)合，難道不是比僅收獲財富而可能產(chǎn)生職業(yè)倦怠更加精彩的人生嗎?

v 為何選擇便于就業(yè)的課程

① 教育也是一種投資，每一個投資者都渴望獲得高額回報，也就是，一份穩(wěn)定、高薪、有前程的工作。

② 實用性課程一般以就業(yè)為導(dǎo)向，求職相對簡單。

【范文賞析】

【首段】 背景介紹 + 作家立場

People’s views differ greatly as to which should be the superior option of academic pursuit，to opt for courses conducing tofuture 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】談及我方立場

Opting for the courses that one takes considerable interest in will enjoy more visible merits. First, one’s study motivation can be highly stimulated if one can choose subjects exerting a peculiar fascination on him or her. Conversely, people might generate career burnout even if they might get a profit-making job. Also, taking the courses that one takes keen interest in can fully tap his or her infinite potentials. Meanwhile, one can fully enjoy the process of learning and career life. Eventually, it is also a sort ofsuccess if one can perfectly combine specialized knowledge with career ambition. In light of these statements, college studentshave sound reasons to select the courses they love, and then they will love the courses they choose.

【三段】談及對立觀點

Yet, the acquisition of pragmatic courses might still have some merits. Apparently, job-related courses will help one outshine many candidates and successfully secure a decent job. Still, some people might argue that education is a kind of investment and competitive courses such as accounting，computer and business management can，in most cases，earn high interests. Thereby, what some people are concern about is whether the course of their choice can lead to a profitable career. Sure enough, career-related subjects can lay a solid foundation for climbing the career ladder.

【尾段】再次亮明觀點

【首段】 背景介紹 + 作家立場

People have different views about how much choice students should have with regard to what they can study at university. While some argue that it would be better for students to be forced into certain key subject areas, I believe that everyone should be able to study the course of their choice.

【二段】支持學(xué)習(xí)實用性課程

There are various reasons why people believe that universities should only offer subjects that will be useful in the future. They may assert that university courses like medicine, engineering and information technology are more likely to be beneficial than certain art degrees. From a personal perspective, it can be argued that these courses provide more job opportunities, career progression, better salaries, and therefore an improved quality of life for students who take them. On the societal level, by forcing people to choose particular university subjects, governments can ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered. Finally, a focus on technology in higher education could lead to new inventions, economic growth, and greater future prosperity.

【三段】支持學(xué)習(xí)感興趣的課程

In spite of these arguments, I believe that university students should be free to choose their preferred areas of study. In my opinion, society will benefit more if our students are passionate about what they are learning. Besides, nobody can really predict which areas of knowledge will be most useful to society in the future, and it may be that employers begin to value creative thinking skills above practical or technical skills. If this were the case, perhaps we would need more students of art, history and philosophy than of science or technology.

【尾段】再次亮明觀點

In conclusion, although it might seem sensible for universities to focus only on the most useful subjects, I personally prefer the current system in which people have right to study whatever they like.
