答案 When to Decide on a College Major? Chinese students have to choose a major when applying for university and most of them have no opportunity to change the decision. Many people, however, begin to question whether it is the best practice. I would argue that students should be given at least a year to find out a major they are really fond of. For one thing, high school students have little knowledge of majors at university, since they only learn fundamental knowledge of basic subjects. They may choose astronautics just because of the advanced space technology, only to find that the basic skills involved in this major are just what they are not good at. If they are allowed to make that decision in the second year at university, they can know better about their interests and specialties and get more advice from professors, juniors and seniors. For another, high school students may be largely swayed by their parents, who tend to choose those so-called lucrative majors in the hope that their children can get a job with a decent salary after graduation, disregarding whether they are interested in it or not. In the meantime, during the first year, they can develop varieties of skills by learning different disciplines. The problem-solving skills and analytical capabilities acquired in this process will be proved invaluable in their future learning. In conclusion, students should be given a chance to make a wise decision on their majors which may determine their careers in the future.
解析     本题是对比选择型题目，提出了两种观点：学生应该在上大学前选定专业和学生应该在入学后用一定的时间考虑选什么专业。题目要求考生就此表达自己的观点。考生可以根据自己的想法或经历对此问题进行分析比较，任选其中一个观点，给出理由论证即可。
    开头部分通过对目前学生升入大学前要先选专业这种情况的描述，得出人们对这一事实的看法，即文章要讨论的问题——学生应不应该在进入大学前确定专业。
    中间部分采用总一分结构，首先明确提出自己的观点：应该给学生至少一年的时间来选择适合的专业。接着分别用“For one thing…” “For another…”和“In the meantime…”引出三个主要原因并进行分析。论证语言逻辑清晰，层层递进。
    结尾部分使用“In conclusion…”简要总结全文，重申观点。
