大学学生应该被鼓励去学习他们感兴趣的学科而不是那些容易找工作的学科。

Agree

1. Today’s parents attach too much importance to the job prospects of their children’s education.

2. However, empirical evidence suggests that young people are more likely to succeed in a career that interests them.

现实和理想之兴趣

大学应该要求每一个学生在自己专业课外选修各种学科，因为获得各种学科的知识才是获得真正教育的最好途径。

Agree

1. True education amounts to far more than gaining the knowledge and ability to excel in one’s major course of study and in one’s professional career.

2. Becoming truly educated also requires sufficient mastery of one academic area to permit a student to contribute meaningfully to society later in life.

3. Nevertheless, the call for a broad educational experience as the path to becoming truly educated comes with one important caveat—in the pursuit of true education students must be careful not to become a dilettante.

必修课和选修课

大学应该开设更多关于流行音乐、电影、广告和电视的课程，因为当代文化比起过去的文学和艺术与学生们更加息息相关。

Agree with concession

1. Popular culture is a mirror of society’s impulses and values.

2. Knowledge of popular films, music, and art enables a person to find common ground to relate to other people, which leads to better communication between different subcultures.

3. Nevertheless, emphasizing the study of popular culture at the expense of studying classical art and literature can carry harmful consequences for students, as well as for society.
