Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad/major in humanities or science, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

【参考范文】

国内还是国外读大学

Nowadays, there has been a heated discussion as to a better choice between attending college at home and abroad. Views on the topic vary greatly among people from different walks of life. Some believe that it is a better choice to study in domestic colleges, but others consider it better to study abroad.

I totally agree with the latter idea for the reasons presented below. To begin with, it harms the society in that the greater the competition is, the higher the recruitment requirements will become. Therefore, with experiences of studying abroad, graduates will become more competitive in job hunting. Furthermore, it is beneficial to the students themselves to study abroad. Without the choice to pursue overseas study, many great scholars today would never have achieved such great success.

From my perspective, it is crucial that the government should encourage people to pursue overseas study. Also it is crucial that people should understand the meaning and value of attending college abroad. Only in this way can we achieve greater success.

选专业：文科还是理科

范文1：学理科

Nowadays, there has been a heated discussion as to the best choice in selecting the major. Views on the topic vary greatly among people from different walks of life. Some believe that it is a better choice to acquire knowledge in science, but others consider it better to dig into the humanities.

I totally agree with the former choice for the reasons presented below. Above all, it is good for the whole society because if more peoplein this society can choose to acquire scientific knowledge,it is more likely that the society will become better and better. Also, it is good for the person himself/herself. For example, it can help him/her become a person of practice rather than a person of words, which will make him/her a more useful person.

From my perspective, it is crucial that modern education should encourage people tobe practitioners rather than pedants. Also it is crucial that people should understand the meaning and value of scientific knowledge. Only in this way can we achieve greater success.

范文2：学文科

Above all, it is good for the whole society because if more peoplein this society can choose to dig into the humanities,it is more likely that the society will become better and better. Also, it is good for the person himself/herself. For example, it can make him/her more humanism rather than more scientism, which will make him/her a wiserperson.

From my perspective, it is crucial that modern education should encourage people to be wise meditators rather than mad scientists. Also it is crucial that people should understand the meaning and value of humanities. Only in this way can we achieve greater success.
