Writing Task 2 A/D - University students should study full range of subjects

                                         Writing Task 2 


Many people believe that university students should study a full range of subjects instead of some specific subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?


Paragraph 1 Introduction

Nowadays, universities are the epicenter of controversies about curriculum and content, such as, should students learn a wide range of subjects or only a selected subject for specialization.  [Paraphrase] This essay will dwell on my opinion that they should pursue a full range of subjects because it helps the students develop critical thinking skills, creativity and problem-solving abilities. [Thesis sentence]

4. Pursue: Perform, study, carry on, practise, conduct, seek , aspire to.

Paragraph 2 Body Para 1

To embark on, learning a broad spectra of subjects aids the students to develop diverse skills set and gain a wider range of knowledge, which in turn, helps one become a well-rounded  and well-informed individual. [Argument 1] They can imbibe deeper vision of evaluation  because they learn a number of different logical and methodological approaches. Moreover, this is inevitable at a time when  the focus is on multi-disciplinary studies. [Reasons] For example, researches reveal that those who are exposed to several subjects in universities have better transferrable skills, such as, communication, presentation and problem-solving capabilities. [Example] Thus, studying multiple subjects has more merits than confining to a specialized one. [Conclusion of BP1]

Paragraph 3 Body Para 2

Furthermore, studying a range of subjects improves the research and writing skills, the ability to think creatively and promote greater understanding of the current affairs. [Argument 2] Most prestigious competitive examinations, such as, the civil service exams include questions from all areas of knowledge,  and a student with limited level of knowledge  cannot thrive there. [Reasons] For instance, a science-specialized student may be weak at history and economics. Such lopsided knowledge level can be hazardous in a world of cut throat competition.  [Example] Therefore, for several reasons, multi-disciplinary study is more desirable. [Conclusion of BP2]

Paragraph 4 Conclusion

To conclude, the aim of university education is to mould individuals of higher levels of competencies who are capable of tacking problems judiciously.
