Practice writing skills.

Students should study only subjects in their majors. State whether you agree or disagree and support your argument with specific reasons and examples.

Personally speaking, I disagree with the statement that students should study only subjects in their majors. There are so many advantages that if students study not only subjects in their majors but also subjects offered by other departments. First of all, students can cultivate their interests by studying different subjects in different departments. Secondly, students can broaden their horizon if students do not study only subjects in their majors. Last but not the least, if students take more courses in different departments, they will be more competitive with others. Now, I am going to use these above-mentioned reasons to explain my position.

First, students can cultivate their interests if they take different courses not only from their own department but also from other departments. Everyone may have lots potential but never be discovered. And when they study not only their majors, they may find out those interests and potential that they never know they really have. As soon as they discover their interests and potential in other subjects from different departments, then it will be very helpful in their learning. According to a research, when people do something he/she is interested in, it will be more efficient than do something that people is not interested in. Thus, I think people can cultivate their interests and enlighten their potential if they study not only subjects in their major.

Second, due to the point of view of society, to broaden our horizon is very important. And I think students can also broaden their horizon by taking more subjects in different departments. Because when you take different subjects you may get more information and more knowledge from those subjects. So, the viewpoint for you to think about things will be more extensive. That means when you think about one thing, and your view will not be limited by those little information you used to have. Moreover, you will make more friends that come from different departments. Thus, you can exchange your ideas from each other than before. Also, you will be more intelligent by taking more subjects in different departments. For the reasons, I think that if students take more subjects in different department can broaden their horizon.

Third, nowadays, it is very hard to find a good job. So, to be more competitive with others is such an important issue. And I think it will make students be more competitive with others if they study not only subjects in their majors but other subjects in other departments. For instance, it is without a doubt that if a boss wants to recruit a new employee and a man who is specialized in different fields will be the first candidate for the job. In addition, if a man who has many specialties can have more opportunities when finding a job. For example, if a man has the language ability and computer ability at the same time, and then he can look for the job which is related to language or which is related to computer. Thus, he has two opportunities when looking for a job. For this purpose, I think if students study not only subjects in their majors will be more competitive with others in the future.

To sum up, I really agree with that students should study subjects not only in their majors but the subjects in different departments. Because there are so many merits for students to take other subjects in other departments, such as, to cultivate their interests, to broaden their horizon, to be more competitive with others and so on.
As mentioned above, I disagree with that students should study only subjects in their majors.
