Basic sciences, like general mathematics, general physics and general chemistry, are the fundamentals (Semantically speaking, it's arguable whether a plural is needed here, but I'm inclined to use one if there's an 'are' in front.) of the modern society. Some people hold a point that university students should not take basic science classes if they are not part of the field of their studies (Again, semantically, 'study' can be used, but I'm inclined to use a plural if there's a 'their' right in front of the word 'study'.). Because they think college students should spend all time on their own study. (This is a fragment. 'Because' can't lead a sentence on its own. Merge this with the previous sentence. FYI: I'm surprised to see this error in your essay as you rank among the most capable writers I've seen on this board.) I oppose this point of view. I think university students should be required to take basic science classes even if they are not part of the field of the study.
To start with, taking basic science classes benefits university students' own study. Basic science is of course the base of many modern sciences. Students cannot understand modern sciences profoundly if they have little knowledge of basic sciences. For example, students of Compute Science usually study essential classes like data structures, operation systems and compiling theory. All of them are based on mathematics. If a student was not good at mathematics, he or she might feel those classes were obscure. Besides those classes, books on Computer Science theories, like "the Art of Programming", one of the most classic books on Computer Science, usually require readers to have very strong mathematics background. In fact, top students in Computer Science are very good at mathematics. Furthermore, Students who major in other sciences, like economy, also can benefit from studying basic science classes. (Now you're getting awry. The question specifically mentions that students should take basic sciences even if 'they are not PART OF THE FIELD of the study'. Your examples of modern sciences, unfortunately, do not quite fall into this category, because mathematics and all are PARTS OF THE FIELD, as you've said, 'all of them are BASED on mathematics'. It's hard to imagine a course on CS or economy that does not include any mathematics as a prerequisite. Therefore you've only covered half of the question that's not in the 'even if'. You'll need stronger examples that are less directly related with the basic sciences to cover the 'even if' part.)
Another good reason is that basic science classes help students a lot in their daily lives, no matter which subject they major in. Excel, a very excellent office tool to make tables and charts, is adopted widely nowadays. Students usually use it in their study life. However, students cannot take full advantage of Excel if they are not good at general mathematics. Excel provides a lot of mathematics formulas to help users to make complicated and flexible tables and charts. Obviously the prerequisite is that users should have the basic knowledge of general mathematics. Besides general mathematics, other basic science classes, like physics and chemistry, also help students in their daily lives. Students who have the basic knowledge of general physics might understand the principle of automobiles easily, and such understanding might help them out when their cars breake down. Even more, the knowledge which students learn from basic science classes continues to works in their whole life.
To sum up, taking basic science classes not only benefits university students in their study but also their daily life. To that extent, I think university students should be required to take basic science classes even if they are not part of the field of the study.
总结:
你的语言功底很好,但是第一个论点段不完整 - 问题特别提出和basic science无关的主修来问,但你一直用modern science来举例,也就是只论述了和basic science有关的主修,那这个论述是不能完全说明问题所涵盖的全部的,所以对论述的完整度要注意一下。 |
