题目

Some universities expect the students to choose a field of study when they enter the school, while other universities let students wait until the second or the third year before deciding a major. Which do you prefer？Why？

思路解析

1.刚进大学时不选专业、学习通识课程，有助于学生们拓宽视野，更好地了解自己的喜好。

2.学生如果选错专业，自己不喜欢，就不会去好好学，这是一种对时间的浪费。

范文文本

I think it’s better to let students decide their majors later. A lot of schools actually do this:students are exposed to a wide variety of general courses in the first or two years in college. This helps student have a better understanding of what they like or what they don’t. They are more likely to make informed decisions on what to study later. If students have to decide their majors when they first enter school, what usually happens is that quite some students just hate what they study. They don’t put in the effort and they have bad grades, which really undermines their confidence. That’s why a lot of students end up changing majors and a whole year’s time is wasted.

中文释义

我觉得让学生们晚一点选择自己的专业比较好。很多学校也是这样做的：学生们在前一两年会接触到各种各样的通识课程。这有助于学生们对自己喜欢和不喜欢的东西有一个更好的了解，之后就更有可能在选专业时做出明智的决定。如果学生们一进校就选专业，经常发生的情况就是很大一部分学生讨厌自己的专业，他们不会投入精力去学，成绩也很糟糕，最后真的会丧失信心。这就是很多学生最后换专业并且浪费了一整年时间的原因。
