University students always focus on one specialist subject, but some people think

universities should encourage their students to study a range of subjects in addi-

tion to their own subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued that universities ought to encourage their students to study a variety of

subjects besides their own subject rather than focusing on one specialty at all time.
This essay agrees that university students should immerse themselves in a wide
range of subjects. Firstly, this can help students learn their own subject in a more ef-
fective way. Secondly, this will bring more different career opportunities.

OKAY, IT’S OKAY TO SAY YOU 100% AGREE BUT YOU’LL GET A HIGHER SCORE IF YOU
TRY TO INCLUDE A ‘COUNTER ARGUMENT’. I WILL EXPLAIN THIS IN THE CLASS!

By exploring other subjects outside of their own study, it can help university students
learn their own subject more effectively. This is because they could possibly acquire
new skills when learning other various subjects. For instance, some of the university
students majoring in arts in Taipei have been taking artificial intelligence lectures in
recent years. This teaches them to create art works not only using their own imagi-
nation but also with the help of computer science. Therefore, now they have a
wider variety of media to make arts, which brings more diversity and creativity to
their artworks.

HMMM, I THINK THIS IS QUITE WEIRD AND I DON’T TOTALLY FOLLOW THE IDEAS…
LEARN MORE EFFECTIVELY IS THE IDEA IN YOUR TOPIC SENTENCE, BUT THEN I
THINK YOU START TO TALK ABOUT COMPUTERS LEARNING FOR THEM AND I DON’T
SEE HOW THAT MAKE THEM LEARN THEIR OWN SUBJECT MORE EFFECTIVELY….

ALSO, YOUR EXAMPLE IS IN THE WRONG PLACE. I WILL EXPLAIN WHY.

Inspiring students to pursue diverse subjects can also potentially bring more job op-
portunities. The reason is that having multiple skills besides one’s profession will be
more advantageous for students when interviewing for a job. For example, even
though most candidates in Taiwan meet the requirements for a place in the pharma-
ceutical factory, those who took lessons in coding in the universities will be more
likely to obtain the job in the end. This is because they could utilize their coding skills
at work and this may leave a great impression on the employers. Without approach-
ing coding in university classes, they may not be able to learn coding properly and
therefore have lower chances of obtaining the jobs.

In conclusion, university ought to inspire students to explore other subjects apart

from their own field of study so that they can learn their own subjects more effec-
tively and have diverse career opportunities.

Some ex-prisoners commit crimes after being released from prison. What do you
think is the cause? How can it be solved?

After some ex-prisoners’ release from prison, they still commit crimes in the society.
One of the reasons is that they did not learn from their mistakes and therefore still
do not know how to be more well-behaved citizens. WHAT’S THE OTHER REASON?
WE SHOULD HAVE TWO. This can be tackled by providing activities or curriculums to
help them reflect on themselves. ONLY ONE SOLUTION?

The reason why prisoners commit crime again after having been in prison is that they
did not be educated well enough to learn from their past. Therefore, they do not
correct their mistakes and it is still difficult for them to fit in the society again. For ex-
ample, many criminals who had committed the crime of domestic violence in Taiwan
failed to grow compassion for the victims. As a result, they are likely to use violence
toward others again after their release from prisons.

OKAY, IT’S ALRIGHT. I SEE THE IDEAS BUT THEY ARE BADLY ORGANISED… FOR A
NICE SCORE IN THIS QUESTION TYPE WE SHOULD TRY TO AHVE TWO PROBLEMS
AND TWO SOLUTIONS

To deal with this problem, the government should offer programs which are helpful
for them to recognize their mistakes. 😭For instance, a virtual reality company in
Spain has recently developed a program, which can make the criminals physically and
mentally experience the feelings of victims of domestic violence.😭 This has been re-
ported effective since it could be easier for the prisoners to grow empathy for the
victims through the experience. Accordingly, prisoners could acknowledge the dam-
age they had caused and avoid making the same mistakes.

IN CLASS TODAY WE WILL TALK ABOUT WHERE YOU SHOULD PUT EXAMPLES!

I SEE THE IDEAS, AGAIN IT’S BAD FOR ORGANISATION. DON’T WORRY

In conclusion, ex-prisoners commit crimes again after turning back to the societies
due to not learning from their past and offering activities to help them become more
compassionate would be one of the solutions.

BAH! ONE LONG SENTENCE! I’M SURE THIS COULD BE BETTER AS TWO SENTENCES.
TAKE YOUR TIME WITH YOUR CONCLUSION!
