University students now focus on a special subject. Some people believe
that universities should encourage their students to study a whole range of
subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays， many students spend time concentrating on their majors while
neglecting the study of other subjects. This phenomenon has attracted people's
attention on whether or not the universities should encourage students to study
all the subjects available for them. Some people claim that studying a whole
range of subjects may divert students’ attention on their majors， making the
students good at nothing. Some people， on the other hand， contend that learning
a variety of things is good for the students' development. Speaking for myself，
I take sides on the latter.
First of all， learning various subjects can extend students' scope of
knowledge. People might never realize how little they know about certain things
until they read articles or books relevant and even worse when conversations
start. Extensive reading of different subjects can help to release the inferior
complex when such situation occurs. They may also be proud of themselves and
become confident in study since they know a lot. In addition， some subjects can
teach students how to balance work and life， comment current affairs and
cultivate students’ common sense of life as well. All these benefits can make
students become knowledgeable.
Learning a range of subjects can also add spice to the students' studies.
Students may be fed up with study when they concentrate on a special subject
constantly to the exclusion of other subjects. Despite the fact that studying
many subjects can occupy part of the time for students to study their majors， it
can facilitate the students to enrich their campus life and maintain their
interest in study.
Most important of all， studying more can cultivate students' logical
thinking and make them become more creative and competent， which is of great
significance to their further development. It is commonly believed that most of
the subjects are linked to each other， to some extend. With a range of
knowledge， students can find different solutions to approach the problems they
encounter either at work or in life， which will definitely make the students
more creative and innovative in the field they specialize in. Clearly， the
students with all-around knowledge have an apparent advantage over those
specializing in only one subject. Thus， students should make effort to acquire
more knowledge in their study periods so that they will not be eliminated in the
severe competition in the era of information explosion.
In a word， studying a variety of subjects is beneficial to the university
students. In this case， not only can the students better themselves， but also
become adaptable and flexible in the increasingly challenging and competitive
world. It is advisable that students spend time learning more subjects instead
of focusing on a specific subject， so that they can prepare themselves and cater
for the even-accelerated society.
