剛剛結(jié)束額四級考試,作文題沒有任何新意。關(guān)于選修課的話題是老生常談,歷史上也曾經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過。這從一個側(cè)面反映了在準備考試時歷年真題的重要性。而且也揭示了四級考試寫作部分將來的一種可能的發(fā)展方向,即,相對固定的校園話題。這也讓我們的備考相對容易一些。

What Electives To Choose

With the reform of Chinese higher education, more and more colleges and universities put emphasis on nurturing students’ abilities. As a result, elective courses are available not only for excellent academic performers but also for students about the average level.

Certainly, students have different reasons to choose their own electives. For some, practical skills are the essence of college education, and therefore, courses on computer science, marketing, and finance are highly preferred. On the other hand, others may hold the idea of liberal education and electives concerning literature, history, and philosophy are the most welcome.

Take me as an example: being a disciple of free education, I stand for the notion that university is not a place for survival skills, but a palace of knowledge and critical reasoning. Although my major is chemistry, the electives I attend most frequently are English literature, an Introduction to Classic Music, and Different Schools of Western Painting. They really widen my horizon.
