Some people think older schoolchildren should study a large number of subjects in a wide range of knowledge. Others believe schoolchildren should study a smaller number of subjects in a greater detail. Discuss both views and give your own opinion 有人認(rèn)為學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)廣泛的課程，有人認(rèn)為學(xué)生應(yīng)該詳細(xì)地學(xué)習(xí)少量的課程，討論兩種觀點(diǎn)再得出你的結(jié)論。(2013年4月27日)

【思路拓展】

【專才教育的利好】

1. 人們的精力和時(shí)間有限，廣泛涉獵，難免蜻蜓點(diǎn)水。相反，集中精力學(xué)習(xí)一門課程，可以使人成為一個(gè)領(lǐng)域的專家。畢竟，人生的奮斗的過程就是追求稀缺的過程，你要成為哪個(gè)不可替代者。

2. 專才教育培養(yǎng)的學(xué)生，擇業(yè)更有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，因?yàn)樗麄兛梢赃m合特殊企業(yè)的需求。

【通才教育的利好】

1. 通才教育幫助人實(shí)現(xiàn)全面發(fā)展，培養(yǎng)多元的興趣和才華，可以使受教育者適應(yīng)未來不同領(lǐng)域的工作，因此，可以減少單一職業(yè)選擇帶來的失業(yè)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

2. 專才教育通常傳授的是以擇業(yè)為導(dǎo)向的知識(shí)，和就業(yè)相關(guān)聯(lián)的技能，僅僅是一種生存技能的培養(yǎng)，相反，通才教育不僅是傳授知識(shí)，還涉及到人的道德教育、性格培養(yǎng)、心靈成長，因此，通才教育更能體現(xiàn)完美教育的真諦。

首段：背景介紹+爭(zhēng)議焦點(diǎn)+作家立場(chǎng)

Education is one of the key words of our time，however, people have been debating, for many years, about the perfect standard of education. People’s views differ greatly in whether or not specialist is superior to generalist. To voice my opinion, in comparison with solely imparting career-related knowledge, to provide students with a rich variety of subjects deserves more praises.

【解析】

1. …… is superior to …… v優(yōu)越于……

2. deserves more praises v更加值得贊美

二段：讓步段：專才教育的利好

Indeed，I have to concede that acquiring career-oriented knowledge and job-related skills is never without its merits. For a start, one can have more opportunities of securing a decent job with promising future if he or she can excel in one specific field. From our lives, it is easy to find some examples to prove that those graduates coming from vocational training schools are more easily to get a reasonable career. Also, one’s time and energy is limited，therefore, as a proverb goes, Jack-of-all-trades is master of none.

【解析】

1. is never without its merits 遠(yuǎn)非沒有其利好

2. secure a decent job with promising future 找到體面的有前途的工作

3. excel in one specific field 精通于一個(gè)特殊的領(lǐng)域

三段：反駁段：通才教育的利好

However，I want to rebut that specialized education is not universally suitable for the vast majority of students. Conversely, a person who has studied a wide range of subjects could，to a larger extent，realize his or her all-round development. More precisely, people will enlarge their scope of knowledge and broaden their mental horizons. Another convincing argument is that the cultivations of a variety of competences could help one make full preparations for work in different fields，by contrast，a man who just zero in on the subjects he or she takes interest in will have to face more risks of unemployment triggered by a single career choice

【解析】

1. is not universally suitable for v不是普遍適合……

2. realize his or her all-round development. v實(shí)現(xiàn)全面的發(fā)展

3. have to face more risks of unemployment triggered by a single career choice v面對(duì)單一職業(yè)選擇帶來的失業(yè)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)

尾段：再次亮明觀點(diǎn) + 總結(jié)理由

In closing，I re-affirm my conviction that compared with focusing on career-oriented courses，taking various courses is more feasible and rational because it helps students realize comprehensive development and foster more personal talents. Further, our society need talents with a wealth of knowledge, so, a person who study many courses will enhance the competitiveness in the future job-seeking.

【解析】

1. is more feasible and rational 更加的可行和理性

2. enhance the competitiveness in the future job-seeking. 提高未來擇業(yè)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力

首段：背景介紹 + 爭(zhēng)議焦點(diǎn) +　作家立場(chǎng)

A man without education is a victim of adversity, however, educationalists have been pondering, for many years, which one is more preferable, specialized education or comprehensive education. Convincing arguments could be explored to justify both sides. As I see it, it is of immense value for students to receive the comprehensive education to enhance one’s all-round abilities.

【解析】

A man without education is a victim of adversity. 一個(gè)沒有受過教育的人是逆境的犧牲品。

二段：專才教育的利好

Granted, those who support the specialized education do have reasons to some extent. For one thing, it is extremely efficient for the learners to acquire knowledge more effectively when applying themselves to only one subject. For another, it exerts a beneficial impact on the future job-hunting, for the specialists can definitely meet the demand of some enterprises. The training of athletes, cooks and other professionals can serve as perfect examples.

【解析】

1. applying themselves to only one subject 只專注學(xué)習(xí)一門課程

2. athletes, cooks and other professionals 運(yùn)動(dòng)員，廚師或者其他的專業(yè)人士

三段：通才教育的利好

Nonetheless， on no account could we ignore the immense value of general education. First, acquiring divergent subjects could help enlarge ones’ knowledge scope and foster more competences. Still, by means of all-round learning, it can add spice to students’ dull routine of daily life. It is conceivable that one can cultivate various hobbies and talents as a generalist. Last, knowledge is not a burden. Acquiring a wide range of subjects could enable one to better prepare him or her for the future career challenges because the moral education and character-training it covers could be beneficial to ones’ growth

【解析】

1. add spice to students’ dull routine of daily life. 增加生活的樂趣

2. moral education and character-training 道德教育和性格培養(yǎng)

尾段：亮明觀點(diǎn)
