It is not uncommon that university students have to take a variety of courses beyond their own majors. This holistic education idea is quite controversial. Some people believe that students should spend more time and energy on the courses related to their majors. What is your opinion? Should we require university students to take a variety of courses that are not related to their own majors? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案
Don’t Be Limited by Majors Many university students have to take a variety of courses beyond their own majors. During my first year in university, we were surprised by how many courses, in the fields of art, Chinese culture and management, an English major has to take in order to obtain sufficient credits. In my opinion, these courses, serving as supplements to our major, are indispensable for a comprehensive university education. In the first place, a holistic education can develop one’s all-around capacity. Courses related to one’s major enable him to get a lot of knowledge of his major, while courses beyond one’s major can provide him with all kinds of common sense, skills, abilities, and choices of hobby. Believe it or not, those courses are often the areas where one’s talent and personality shine through. Limiting the selection of courses to one major will inevitably limit the creativity of students. Furthermore, the system of choosing courses across majors enables a student to clarify his future direction. One’s early twenties is an age when one tries to figure out where he is heading for in life. While a major set the tones of one’s main schedule in university, optional courses provide him with the chance to explore potential alternatives which may become his new specialty. With different courses available, students will be better equipped and less likely to be driven into a corner when they want to switch path. Finally, if students only choose courses related to their majors, school’s capability to offer a comprehensive education will be weakened. As Mr. Spencer, president of the University of Australia, used to say, "The difference between a university and a training school is that, a training school prepares you for a job, and a university teaches you to think and engage in conversation with society." Instead of stuffing students with the skills or techniques required for a specific job, a university should focus on developing students’ ability to think independently, to cooperate with other individuals and to adjust themselves to the ever-changing world. None of these can be accomplished if students’ horizon is limited by their own majors. In a word, university students should not be limited by their majors. They should be encouraged to take a variety of courses in order to enrich their minds.
