Some people think that they should study the course that they are interested in. Some people think that they should a wide range of subjects. Discuss both sides and give your opinion? 有人認為學生應該學習他們感興趣的課程，有人認為學習應該學習多元的課程，討論兩種觀點，給出你的意見。
【思路拓展】
【專才教育的利好】
1. 人們的精力和時間有限，廣泛涉獵，難免蜻蜓點水。相反，集中精力學習一門課程，可以使人成為一個領域的專家。畢竟，人生的奮鬥的過程就是追求稀缺的過程，你要成為哪個不可替代者。
2. 專才教育培養的學生，擇業更有競爭力，因為他們可以適合特殊企業的需求。
【通才教育的利好】
1. 通才教育幫助人實現全面發展，培養多元的興趣和才華，可以使受教育者適應未來不同領域的工作，因此，可以減少單一職業選擇帶來的失業的風險。
2. 專才教育通常傳授的是以擇業為導向的知識，和就業相關聯的技能，僅僅是一種生存技能的培養，相反，通才教育不僅是傳授知識，還涉及到人的道德教育、性格培養、心靈成長，因此，通才教育更能體現完美教育的真諦。

首段：背景介紹+爭議焦點+作家立場
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.

1. …… is superior to …… v優越於……
2. deserves more praises v更加值得讚美
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.

3. excel in one specific field 精通於一個特殊的領域
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實現全面的發展
3. have to face more risks of unemployment triggered by a single career choice v面對單一職業選擇帶來的失業的風險
