8.25鸡精第一篇独立写作——大学是否应为学生提供更多的课程

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Colleges or Universities should offer more courses to prepare students for the future before they start working.
文章后面有列的提纲，求各位高手瞧一瞧看一看，能改最好了，这是我写的第一篇独立写作，可能不足的地方比较多，希望最后这段时间能在地里互改作文的活动中得到提高，非常感谢！下面上文章，一共454个字。
As we all know, in the Age of Information, students try their best to crave for new knowledge when they are in colleges, which maybe the most important places for them to become smarter and know the world better. So there comes an argument that whether the colleges or universities should increase the number of courses for students to better prepare them for their working life. In my point of view, there is totally no need of providing more college courses. Here are some reasons below.

Fist and most obvious reason, which will come into many people’s mind at once, is that if there are more classes, then the following homework and exams will also increase. As a result, it will give extra pressure to students and decrease their spare time. As Mark Twain once said, “The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.” It will easy to see that students will gradually lose laughter because of heavier burden. So colleges should provide less course in order to let their students have free time to develop their favorite habit.

Second, in the era of information explosion, it is impossible for a single person to achieve all knowledge, which means it is difficult to be universal genius. In addition, what modern society really needs is the kind of people who can master knowledge in specific field, and this also demonstrate that it’s not necessary to get different kind of knowledge. Therefore, if colleges or universities offer a little bit less but higher-quality courses, such as more class hours, well-designed homework and better professor, it’s easier to make their students be specialist in their major field which will be popular among the employees.

Furthermore, it is because that the knowledge in the world is so endless, college students can’t finish gaining every kind of knowledge. For this reason, the task of colleges or universities is not to teach students a lot of new knowledge by offering more courses to them, but to teach correct study method to students. Only by this way, students can eventually get the ability of how to find, understand and apply new information, which in turn will bring a promising future for them.

In summary, offering more courses would result in the worse mental and physical health of college students and also it would not be better for students to prepare their working life. Moreover, college class is not the only way to gain advanced knowledge any more. Self-study by using the internet and accumulate experience by participating social practice or internship are also good ways to learn knowledge. So personally, I strongly recommend there is no need for colleges and universities to provide more courses to students.
大学是否应该在学生开始工作之前给他们提供更多的课程？
观点：不应该
理由：1.第一，如果课程多了，随之而来的作业和考试也会增多，这样会极大压缩学生们的课余时间，马克吐温曾说过：“人类最有杀伤性的武器是微笑”，而一味增加课程显然不利于让学生微笑。而大学应该是学生全面发展的地方，而不是只学习文化知识，所以大学应设置更少的课程让学生们有充足的课余时间去发展兴趣爱好，全面发展。              
            2.第二，在这个信息爆炸的时代里，一个人不可能学会所有的知识，即成为所谓的通才是很困难的，这个社会更多的需要的是在某个领域有杰出才能的人，即所谓的专才，学校设置更少但质量更高的课程，如更长的课时，更精心设计的作业，水平更高的老师，更有助于学生成为工作单位更喜欢的专才。
            3.第三，正是因为信息时代的知识实在太多，一个人是根本学不完的，学校的任务不再是一味地增加课程数量，让学生学习更多的知识，而是应该让学生学习到学习的正确方法，从而能让他们自主学习，自己去搜寻，理解和运用信息，这样培养出来的人才是能在职业生涯中取得更好发展的人。另外，大学课堂已不再是学生获得知识的唯一途径，通过互联网自主学习，或者通过社会实践和实习获得经验都是很好的学习手段，所以学校真的没有必要增加学生的课程。

额，尴尬，木有人给点宝贵意见么

Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement? Colleges or Universities should offer more courses to preparestudents for the future before they start working.

As we all know, students nowadays try theirbest to crave for new knowledge in college, a place where they enrich theirmind and life. So there comes an argument that whether the colleges oruniversities should increase the number of courses for students to betterprepare them for their working life. In my point of view, there is totally noneed of providing more college courses. Here are some reasons below.

First and most obvious reason, which willcome into many people’s mind at once, is that if there are more classes, followingmore homework and exams, will give extra pressure to students and cut off theirspare time. As Mark Twain once said, “The human race has one really effectiveweapon, and that is laughter.” It will be easy to see that students willgradually lose laughter because of heavier burden. So colleges should not providemore courses in order to allow their students have more free time and pursuitwhat they are interested in.

Second, in the era of informationexplosion, it is impossible for a single person to master all knowledge, whichmeans it is difficult to be universal genius. In addition, what modern societyreally needs is the kind of people excel in specific field, and this alsodemonstrate that it’s not necessary to get different kind of knowledge.Therefore, if colleges or universities offer a little bit less buthigher-quality courses, such as more class hours, well-designed homework andbetter professor, it’s easier to make their students specialists in their majorfields who will be popular among the employees.

Furthermore, it is because that theknowledge in the world is so endless, college students can’t finish gainingevery kind of knowledge. For this reason, the task of colleges or universitiesis not to teach students a lot of new knowledge by offering more courses tothem, but to teach them the way to learn. Only in this way, students caneventually acquire the ability of how to find, understand and apply newinformation, which in turn will bring a promising future for them.

In summary, offering more courses wouldresult in the worse mental and physical health of college students and also itwould not be better for students to prepare their working life. Moreover,college class is not the only way to gain advanced knowledge any more.Self-study by using the internet and accumulate experience by participatingsocial practice or internship are also good ways to learn knowledge. Sopersonally, I strongly recommend there is no need for colleges and universitiesto provide more courses to students.

整体还不错，以下几个点注意以下

如有错误，欢迎大家指正

1、As we all know, in the Age of Information, students try their best to crave for new knowledge when they are in colleges, which maybe the most important places for them to become smarter and know the world better.

As we all know, students nowadays try their best to crave for new knowledge in college, a place where they enrich their mind.

in the Age of Information改成nowadays， 因为后面还有一处，避免重复

in college没有复数，也不是at college

a place where they enrich their mind. 同位语

2、Fist and most obvious reason, which will come into many people’s mind at once, is that if there are more classes, then the following homework and exams will also increase. As a result, it will give extra pressure to students and decrease their spare time.

4、So colleges should provide less course in order to let their students have free time to develop their favorite habit.

不是提供更少的课程，而是不附加更多的课程……

5、master knowledge，不是achieve knowledge

6、In addition, what modern society really needs is the kind of people who can master knowledge in specific field…

In addition, what modern society really needs is the kind of people excel in specific field…

7、Only in this way

8、acquire the ability
