Essay topic:
Some universities require students to take courses in many subjects. Other universities require students to specialize in one subject. Which is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Thesis statement:
It is advantageous for students to focus on only one subject rather than juggle numerous courses of various subjects.
Middle paragraph 1
Point:
Balancing classes, tests, projects as well as extra-curricular activities is enough to make any college students feel overwhelmed, let alone coping with courses among different disciplines.
Information (examples):
Students majoring in computer science in Harvard University serve as a persuasive example. Not only do they have to frequently stay up whole nights to write codes, but also they have to take internships to find a well-paid and decent job, such as working in Google or Facebook, after graduation. With this crammed schedule, hardly can they allocate time to other disciplines.
Elaboration:

题目：
At some universities, students take part in making decisions about the issues that affect daily life of everyone on campus, such as how many hours that the libraries should be open each day or what kinds of food should be served in the cafeteria. But at some universities, experts are hired to make this decision, students almost never involved. Which approach do you prefer and why?
正文：（直接完整写了一篇，用了40分钟）
Talking of the problem that who should decide the issues concerning about everyday life in the campus, I think choosing the experts to make this decision will be better. Although the students are more familiar with their own lives, the experts could consider this problem in an objective position. Besides, experts have more experiences to provide what the result of one specific decision will be.
Admittedly, students really know more details of the daily life than experts. Students live in the campus every day, so they can easily find the things that can make their lives inconvenient. The decisions of the students will easily make it more comfortable to live in the campus. For instance, students are the major users of the library. Only students know the complex tasks they have which are had to be done with the library every day, thus if they decide the open time of the library, no students will be bothered.
However, experts can objectively consider this problem. Experts don’t affect by any benefits of the decision, what they must do is just for the development of the university. As a result, they won’t give a decision that just has some superficial benefits. For example, most students can just want the foods that seem delicious but ignore whether they are healthy. So If the students make the decision, they may not consider about the nutrition of the food, which might lead to some health problems. Conversely, experts will decrease the number of junk food to keep the students healthy.
Moreover, the experiences of the experts can help them see the potential aftermaths. Generally, experts have helped many universities make this kind of issue. Consequently, they have seen the results of some decisions that seem good and won’t use them. Specifically, students may think that it is better for the time of closing the dormitory at night to be later, which will make the students more convenient to have fun outside at night, yet experts can have the experience that students will have a large possibility of suffering from safe problems if the dormitory closes too late.
To sum up, I agree that experts should decide the issues of students’ everyday lives. Students know accurately how they feel, but it is more significant that experts have a more objective position and more experiences. 占楼
