写作真题

In universities, people tend to concern more about the career prospect of the subjects they learn. Some people propose that students should learn subjects with a fast job growth including math, science, technology, and engineering even if they are interested in other subjects. Do you agree or disagree this statement?

Undeniably, in today's highly competitive social atmosphere, choosing a popular field of study might prepare students for better job opportunities. However, in my opinion, itis more important to select a subject that suits a person's interest.
First and foremost, opting for the subjects in which one takes considerable interest is conducive to achieve better results. As an old saying goes, "interest is the bestteacher''. One's study zest can be highly stimulated assuming that one can choose subjects exerting a peculiar fascination on him or her. Conversely, if they are forced to take courses which can help them gain profit-making jobs, they might not keep their interest for a long time and are prone to generating career burnout, thus leading to a lower learning efficiency. Those epoch-making accomplishment in the scientific world owe much to the initial interest of the scientists. To illustrate, Charles Darwin is famous for his masterpiece entitled on the origin of species. His early interest in nature led him to quit his medical studies at the University of Edinburgh and explore activities instead. Further education at Cambridge continued to encourage his passion for natural science. At last, his learning enthusiasm and untiring efforts paid off. His story perfectly indicates the importance of interest as a factor in a person's success.
In addition, to choose a favorite subject makes the learning experience full of relaxation and delight. Happiness lies in the process, not just in the final result. To some extent, interest is a good friend keeping one company and making one joyful much of the time. For example, whenever math problems arises, so does a moment of pleasure. It is time to enjoy the process of solving the problem. Whenever a new theory in biology is grasped, another cheerful moment ensues. It is time to explore more deeply and to make more interesting discoveries. Without doubt, fascination with a subject makes eachstep of learning delight.
Admittedly, it is true that courses like technology, engineering and math might have some benefits, most of which can be applied in solving real world issues. However, the exposure that students have to apply these theories is very limited in class. Taking technology-oriented classes will not give students a competitive edge to ensure future jobsopportunities; on the other hand, there are enormous benefits for students to take courses that they are interested in.
In conclusion, I re-affirm my conviction that even though choosing utilitarian subjectsis never without merit, university students should still be encouraged to choose their favorite areas of study.
