34. Instead of requiring students to take courses in a variety of disciplines—that is, courses ranging from the arts and the humanities to the physical and biological sciences—colleges and universities should allow students to enroll only in those courses that will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields. Such concentration is necessary in today's increasingly work-oriented society.

提纲：
多数学生认为多样的课程是浪费时间，不如用来为找工作做准备
大学的目的是在培养工作人的同时培养开放的公民
作为自己也有探索自身和世界的要求
大学应该有系统的课程可以兼顾工作的培养和眼界的开阔
大学经历是可贵的,每种课程都有其用处


Students overwhelmingly hope that they could have a good job after the college days are over. “After higher education, I wish to have more opportunity to take a good job with plenty money to make sure my comfort life.” This is the point of many undergraduate students. So in the college, they do their best to assimilate the knowledge which should be involved in the job in future, and come to view the variety of disciplines as irritating interruption – the detour on their way to their degree. They all do not see how such disciplines will help them to get a job or live a life. Job preparation has become the first goal of them in colleges and universities.

What is the purpose of higher education?  Colleges and universities do have an obligation to train the students and make them useful and productive to satisfy the community's need. But in the same time, they also have to offer students a wild prospect and coherent concept of the world. We live in this planet which has much mysterious phenomenon and in a society which has more complex relationship with other people. When we graduate from a college, we not only have to face the problem in the job but also face the situation of ourselves in the society and in the world.

We are human being because we have mind. We desire to explore the environment of the earth and ourselves. We want to know who we are and what we can do. In general, except for a handful of individuals, everybody have a job for survival, but our lives are not just for work or for enjoyment. The first goal of survive is to complete ourselves. We know environment where we lived by learning science and we know the society and ourselves by learning humanity. Maybe it is no use to help us find a good job in direction, but if you know who you are and where you are, you will have power of reason to view the meaning of the life and whatever the job you have you will have more activity to do it.  

I do not mean that higher education shouldn't help students to do preparation for job. In fact, today's society does be increasingly work-oriented. There is no conflict between job preparation and common education. Technology and science knowledge is an element of job preparation, and humanity course is another element of job preparation too. We should have a systematic program to both prepare job and open prospect. As my major is biology, for example, I learn chemistry, physics, biology curriculums and the technology of experiment for my job preparation. I learn humanity program such as history, philosophy and moral education to solve what ethical issue will be confronted in future. I also learn art to enrich my life and enroll myself into a colorful day.

I conclude that college experience is precious treasure in my whole life. In those days, I have skills to find a job to entity the value of myself. I find the life is full of opportunities and competes, and I have been equipped to face all of this. Each of the systematic curriculums is helping me on its own way.

这篇文章是我的处女作，看了好几遍也进行了一定的修改，但是仍然觉得思路比较乱，没有将事情说清楚，可能还是提纲列得不好，希望能够得到大家的指点。

首先，你要有个主题。

Students overwhelmingly hope that they could have a good job after the college days are over. “After higher education, I wish to have more opportunity to take a good job with plenty money to make sure my comfort life.” This is the point of many undergraduate students. So in the college, they do their best to assimilate the knowledge which should be involved in the job in future, and come to view the variety of disciplines as irritating interruption – the detour on their way to their degree. They all do not see how such disciplines will help them to get a job or live a life. Job preparation has become the first goal of them in colleges and universities.（应该再加一点关于这种short sight造成的危害）

what is the purpose of higher education? Colleges and universities do have an obligation to train the students and make them useful and productive to satisfy the community's need. But in the same time, they also have to offer students a wild prospect and coherent concept of the world. We live in this planet which has much mysterious phenomenon and in a society which has more complex relationship with other people. When we graduate from a college, we not only have to face the problem in the job but also face the situation of ourselves in the society and in the world. （so compared with the work-oriented idea of studying, learning widely is much more important and vital， both for the interests of individuals and the society as a whole. 你应该每时每刻点主题）

We are human being because we have mind. We desire to explore the environment of the earth and ourselves. We want to know who we are and what we can do. In general, except for a handful of individuals, everybody have a job for survival, but our lives are not just for work or for enjoyment. The first goal of survive（survival）  is to complete ourselves. We know environment where we lived by learning science and we know the society and ourselves by learning humanity. Maybe it is no use to help us find a good job in direction, but if you know who you are and where you are, you will have power of reason to view the meaning of the life and whatever the job you have you will have more activity to do it. (so the argument of sole determination of work is implausible)

I do not mean that higher education shouldn't help students to do preparation for job. In fact, today's society does be increasingly work-oriented. There is no conflict between job preparation and common education.（and the truth is that all the subjects are interweaved together） Technology and science knowledge is an element of job preparation, and humanity course is another element of job preparation too. We should have a systematic program to both prepare job and open prospect. As my major is biology, for example, I learn chemistry, physics, biology curriculums and the technology of experiment for my job preparation. I learn humanity program such as history, philosophy and moral education to solve what ethical issue will be confronted in future. I also learn art to enrich my life and enroll myself into a colorful day. (这里不错，说说这些文科如何帮了你就更好)

I conclude that college experience is (a) precious treasure in my whole life. In those days, I have skills to find a job to entity (evaluate) the value of myself. I find the life is full of opportunities and competes (competition), and I have been equipped to face all of this. Each of the systematic curriculums is helping me on its own way.
文章太散，推荐你先看看一些范文。

感谢zzfalcon的意见，我也觉得似乎写得比较散，没有经常点题，似乎有自说自画之嫌，准备再重写个提纲再来一次，谢谢！

Students overwhelmingly hope that they could have a good job after the college days are over. “After higher education, I wish to have more opportunity to take a good job with plenty money to make sure my comfort life.” This is the point of many undergraduate students. So in the college, they do their best to assimilate the knowledge which should be involved in the job in future, and come to view the variety of disciplines as irritating interruption – the detour on their way to their degree. They all do not see how such disciplines will help them to get a job or live a life. Job preparation has become the first goal of them in colleges and universities.(我觉得开头段，最重要的作用就是提出自己的观点。你的开头段没有提出你的观点，而是重点说了一下现状。写中文作文这种开头完全可以，但并不适用于Issue作文，多看些范文就可以发现这一点。)
正文段落内容我觉得还可以，但是缺少有力的开头句和段尾的总结句，也就是缺少一根贯穿全文的线，所以让人觉得散。 结尾段我觉得还可以！哈哈！仅是个人意见！

这篇我也刚写过，相互改改，互相促进哟！
Should colleges and universities require students to take courses in a variety of disciplines, or allow students to enroll only in those courses that will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields? The speaker recommends the later, for the reason that today is an increasingly work-oriented society. However, this is a one -sided claim. Were it put into effect, not only the education itself but also the whole society would suffer a severe devastation.

First of all, the main educational purpose of colleges and universities is not to cultivate working machines for society but to nurture the comprehensive capacity of students; is not to educate students how to do but to instruct them how to think. Just for this reason a variety of disciplines-that is, courses ranging from the arts and the humanities to the physical and biological sciences was required. For example, the studying of mathematics trains students' logic thinking, and makes students possessing more precise thought; the courses about moral will contribute to the well-development of students' personality; and psychology teaches students how to face success and failure in correct attitude. Therefore, the non-work-oriented courses are equally important, comparing with the work-oriented courses.

While today is an increasingly work-oriented society, professional knowledge are not the only factor the employer concerned when they choose employees. If students' words and deeds are impolite, rich knowledge in their chosen fields do not certainly guarantee good jobs, considering good manner is a fundamental character which should be possessed as humanity. Similarly, if students well prepared for jobs do not know to how to cooperate with others, unemployed tragedies also cannot be prevented. In addition, students, who is knowledgeable but do not have healthy psychology, would not obtain great achievements. Because students like that tend to lose confidences or to be depressed, when they encountered failure; or tend to lose orientations when they are in success. All of these indicate that a variety of courses required in colleges and universities are necessary.

Of course, completely overlooking whether students could find a job when they graduate from school is also unwise. Because as a part of society, colleges and universities would lose their original educational objective-that is, to cultivate comprehensive talented persons for society and finally stimulate the progress of the whole society, if they completely separate from society. However, courses for jobs are an important band between school and society, they are also a significant standard for assessing the validity of college education. Unless the majority of graduating seniors could find jobs, put their knowledge learned from colleges and universities into practices and do some goods to society, it is indicate that the college education doesn't adapt to the progress of society any longer and would be eliminated sooner or later.

To sum up, the speaker's conclusion is unreasonable and harmful. I agree with the speaker insofar as the courses that will help prepare students for jobs in their chosen fields are important. However, the speaker overlooks the importance of other courses, which are equally significant for students.
