Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

　　参考范文2——只学“有用”的学科

　　In this essay, I will argue that university students should only be taught subjects which contribute to society in general, and that all other subjects are a waste of time and money.

　　One of my friends studied literature at university, focusing on the so-called “classic” literature produced in her country over two thousand years. She studied this because she had a strong drive to understand her culture and its contributions to the world. While she enjoyed the subject and had a lot of fun in university, when she graduated she found it very hard to find a well-paying job. Now she is teaching literature in a high school and can barely afford to pay her rent, let alone buy the products she wants. On the other hand, another friend of mine studied finance at university. He is now earning a very high salary and owns three houses, two of which he rents out for a very high profit. He can buy anything he wants to and regularly eats at the finest restaurants in town. I think everyone should be like him.

　　Ultimately, studying what you want in university is a selfish act. While you may enjoy yourself, you contribute nothing to society when you graduate unless you have studied a scientific or financial subject - this is just the way the world is today. Some people argue that society needs artistic types, but I disagree. Movies, music and books are not necessary in a society - the only things a society really needs are businessmen and scientists.

　　The future is probably going to be a lot like the present - things will still be sold and money will continue to be the only reason to live. Therefore, studying the humanities will continue to be a waste of time and money.

　　在这篇文章中，我将要讨论大学生只应该学习那些通常对社会有贡献的科目，至于其他科目则是浪费时间和金钱。

　　我的一个朋友大学期间学习文学，主攻方向是所谓的“古典”文学，即研究两千多年来的本国文学，她学习这个专业是因为她迫切地想要了解本国文化及其对世界的贡献。她非常喜欢这个学科，并且愉快地完成了大学学业，但毕业时，她发现很难找到一份薪资满意的工作。现在她在一所高中教语文，工资仅能够支付房租，更别说购买她想要的东西了。另一方面，我的另一个朋友大学期间学习财务。他现在的工资很高，并且拥有三套房产， 其中两套外租收益很高。他可以购买他想要的任何东西，还经常进出城市里的餐厅。我想每个人都应该像他一样。

　　从根本上说，在大学里学习自己想学的专业是一种自私行为，尽管你自己很愉快，但毕业后你对社会却毫无贡献，除非你学的是科学或经济方面的学科——这就是社会现实。有些人说社会需要艺术、但我并不同意。电影、音乐和书籍并不是一个社会不可或缺的东西——社会真正需要的东西只有商人和科学家。

　　未来可能会与今天极其相似——买卖依然会存在，金钱依然会是人们生存的理由。因此，学习人文学科依然会是一件浪费时间和金钱的事情。
