TOPIC: ISSUE94 – “Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student’s field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated.”
WORDS: 577 TIME: 01:40:31 DATE: 2008/12/7 22:45:21
As society’s develop, usually we should be able to manage various knowledge to get a good job. But at the same time, we also need some scientists who study deeply in one field.
I think it is necessary to give students a chance to study knowledge from a variety of fields when they in Banchelor or Master course. We know that in many universities students are obiliged to get credit from the courses which are outside the student’s field, which I think could results from at least three reasons.
Firstly, as technology is more and more complex today, the student who only get knowledge in a narrow aspect is less and less competitive. Most time the employ requirements of company, especially in I.T industry, would be consist of some different parts, which is more than tech skills.
Secondly, most of the students, especially in China, don’t have a idea whether they are really interested in the major they pick at the time they get into university. Because of the heavy pressure of study we have to take when we are in high school, most of us don’t have enough time to consider carefully what is suitable for us mostly. But as we can take a variety of course in university, now we can have a chance to access to what we really want.
Last but not the least, the people who achieve success always manage a variety of knowledge. Our country’s founder, Chairman Mao, was a famous exponent. He was a politics, but also known as strategist and poet. In Europe, Da Vince and Newton were also honored by people for they made great contribute to big development in different fields. I don’t think this is just a coincide. The people who are good at different fields usually could get more various views on one thing than the people who are only addicted into a narrow field. This is because the resources that the former could get inspiration from are more than the latter.
But, it is not sensible to encourage students to take knowledge as more various as possible. No matter whether student is going to do research or not after they graduate, basic skill and knowledge inside their own field is indispensible.
If you’d like to take Ph.D Degree, the depth of knowledge you get into in your field really does matters. I know in HongKong Univ. of Techonology and Science, Ph.D candidates only take four cources in their first year while Master candidates would take nearly ten courses. Because Ph.D’s task is to promote the research in some finite field, which requires that someone have to get deep knowledge in base. As a result, they don’t have much time to take these various cources. It is the same to ungraduate students. Of course we should get a wide range of knowledge during our college time, but we have not to forget what is the most important. Sometimes students go too far away to get back, which may result to they can’t get a satisfied job after they graduate from school.
Now we can get a conclusion that aquiring knowledge of various field should be based on a strong knowledge in our major field. Before you are good at your major field, it is meaningless to take many various courses. But, it is not enough to have a good knowledge in one narrow aspect in the modern society, you also have to explore your interest.

改了buaa-alun的文章，改得不好，相互交流吧 呵呵issue 42 “Because learning is not a solitary activity but one that requires collaboration among people, students of all ages will benefit academically if they work frequently in groups.”
As the society’s developing, collaboration （替换词：cooperation coordination ）has played an important role in academic research, where people from different fields could（用would更好些） inspire each other. Bio-computer science is such an example which makes interaction between biology and computer science. Inspired by structure of DNA, scientists come up with the idea that we can design the architecture of computer in a new way, which was called bio-computer. (第一段就用例子有点头重脚轻，不妨放后边看看)Apart from research, commercial company is also encouraged to hire the people who are good at teamwork. Because today the complexity of work is much more than before, （Nowadays, because of large amounts of complicated accomplishments ,which are much more than before,）no one could(would) learn everything. But with collaboration we can take advantage of every distinct one, which results to something amazing.(which would results in something around us becoming special and amazing.)
But I don’t think(as far as I am concerned, It seems a little unilaterat to consider ) that learning in groups is the only way we can acquire knowledge. Different people prefer to think in different way. Most of my friends tend to study with a silent environment. Noise from other people could make them interrupted. Famous physician Albert Einstein liked to stay in the roof of his house without leaving for a few days, when he tried to figure out some mysterious theory. Actually the idea from others will always confuse you, which make(makes) you can’t calm down. It’s easy to understand people who work in quiet is more efficient than that(those who) work in noise.
In addition, I have to say the idea(The second reasons to support my standpoint is ) that children of all ages work frequently in groups is not sensible. I think (替换词：consider , give thought to ,turn over in my mind evaluate )education should give children a chance to improve the ability of thinking alone, which is quite important(which plays a significant partment in children’s future). If they don’t have much chance to solve problem alone when they are very young, it’s easy to make them feel more likely to depend on others when they grow up. That’s the reason why your junior school teacher always tells you not to copy homework from others but finish it by yourself.
What decides whether collaboration is good for learning or not? I think that should be considered in different definitions of “learning”.
Firstly, learning could result to（in） study basic knowledge you don’t know before. At this time, to study alone may be more efficient than (studying ) in crowd. Because there is nothing you can share with others before you know .
In the other hand, learning also means that inspiration made by people from different academic fields. With collaboration, people could get fresh air from the place where they never step in before. Like Newton says: stand on the shoulder of giants. The ability of how to learn from others also need us cultivate during our academic life.(放到一段里)
At conclusion, what we need is not just collaboration or just solitary. We need both of them when we’re learning. We need solitary space to get our own perspective and collaboration could broad our perspective at the same time.

作文小组11月16日作业_官范分析issue
Issue test2
“The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society.”
呃…这几天写了几个提纲，所以看到下面这篇文，最大的感触是作者对相关材料的透彻理解，例子信手拈来，丝毫不感到犹豫，给人一种一拍脑门的快感啊！下面待我分析之。
6
For our grandparents it occurred through films and books. 开头第一句话就把我镇住了，因为他(她？)提到了祖父这一带人的事情。要不就是一个美国人，要不就是对美国文化有过较为深入的了解，才能在开头抛出这么一句话。
For the baby boomers it was a result of television and revolutionary music. 第二句话又当场把我雷倒了，此雷非彼雷(新华社健康操)也，我是被作者再一次镇住了。就是因为baby boomers这个词，google了一下发现是指1946~1964年出生的人，试想没有一定时间的积累，如何能在考场上给出这么精确这么american的词语呢？
No matter how the impact took place, it is clear that since its very advent, the media have played a crucial role in not simply being representative of the values of our society but creating them as well.第一段落中给出自己的观点
During the roaring twenties Americans found themselves in a struggle between the old ways of their ancestors and the new ways of the future.仍然是像前面所说的，对美国的历史较为了解，roaring这个词用得很棒
The once steadfast beliefs that men and women should not touch while dancing, and that ladies should not drink or smoke were suddenly being challenged. 前面叙述完一个观点，马上给例子
From where was all this rebellion stemming?用提问的形式给出引出自己的观点，这两个词语的用法学到了
Partly it was due to the returning doughboys from the shores of Europe bringing home revolutionary ideas they had encountered while at war.为了避免自己的观点偏颇，多方面来叙述原因
Nonetheless, returning soldiers could not be held responsible for the social upheaval that America experienced.接着把前面的原因压下去，真正地原因在后头。
There had to be another cause, and there was, the media.如官方评论所言，这句话强调的恰到好处
Although the films of the era were silent they spoke volumes to the society for which they were created.提出观点马上举例子(film, a kind of media)。这里提到了一个默片时代，虽然我也算是个影迷吧，但在GRE作文考试里直接利用电影来作为论证，我还差了些功力啊
Women in these movies wore their hemlines a few inches shorter than the decade before them and they wore cosmetics to accentuate their new bobbed haircuts.对美国文化深入了解的又一体现，连女性开放年代的特征都记得这么清楚
The movies, as well as the books of that era, demonstrated a new materialistic attitude that America had never before experienced.举完例子开始展开分析
Films portrayed every character as having the money to buy a new car, drink, smoke and partake in the leisure’s of life, a philosophy that was soon adopted by the youth of the decade.接着分析
The use of the media in the twenties was to serve as a catalyst for the revolutionary ideas that were circulating.前后呼应，强调媒体对twenties的影响
The films and books of that era sped America along its path of change that eventually led to the greatest social unrest that the United States had ever known.总结句
Unlike the twenties, the sixties and seventies utilized the media in a way that appealed to those searching for truth in a lost and confused world.从grandparents那一代人转向baby boomer. Unlike在这里作为过渡连词
Martin Luther King Jr. realized the impact of the media on society during his campaign for civil rights.大家都知道金博士，但谁能想到把他用到这儿和媒体扯上关系呢？
King urged his followers to withstand any abuse that they might encounter because the media will take their peacefulness into the homes of their society.将前面的例子展开分析
By doing so, King successfully began to change the traditional view of race. Americans began to sympathize with the protesters because of the undeserved turmoil they faced at the hands of the government.接着分析例子
As a result, America relinquished the Jim Crow laws and saw many other groups press for their individual rights as well.一个体现作者功力的地方，Jim Crow Laws，在场有谁能够看到这个词马上把意思说出来的，更不用说在考试中没有一个拼写错误的将其用上。整个例子一起呵成，从提出到逐渐发展到最后的结果，顺理成章
Television cameras rolled as Cesar Chavez organized the migrant workers in California and as Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinham linked arms to protest the lack of women’s rights.听听这些人名，我刚上网查了一下，不是杜撰的哦。我不知道这些人在美国的地位是跟鲁迅在中国一样还是咋地，小弟我是服了。
While the media helped to shape some attitudes about racism and gender it also helped to uncover the truth behind government lies.还准备接着展开论述媒体的强大…
During the Nixon
第一次在太傻发不是”谢谢”、”顶”之类的帖子，战战兢兢点下鼠标。
读完整篇文章，觉得很畅快。为什么？因为作者并没有用上许多复杂的长句或者出奇的结构什么的，除了一些名词、人名，句子基本上都是很容易让人读懂的类型。另外一个原因就是给篇文章强大的气场，每个例子的运用都是那么的恰到好处，让人读起来很有气势的感觉。就像一开始说的，最近开始写提纲有时候想举例子脑袋就跟卡壳了似的，所以看到这篇文章敬佩之情格外的多。当然，这都是来源于作者平常深厚的文化积累，像原文中标注的一些词，能这么流畅的用在考场上，小弟我还得加把劲啊~~~
