Balancing Main and Additional Subjects in University Education
IELTS Writing Task 2
Response: Some students do not agree with restricting their studies to their main subject and want to earn new attitudes about other branches as well. However, some believe this can reduce the practicality of the main studies. I strongly suggest extending knowledge for everyone regardless of their major. The human mind is capable of handling a massive amount of information; therefore, it would not be fair to limit the abilities of brain to a particular area of science and overlook the other subjects. In other words, a student can enhance their knowledge and capability by diversifying their range of concerns. It is worth noting that, working in various domains of science can beneficially broaden perspective in students' own major, which could be their advantage among peers. For instance, if a engineering student strengthens their language skills by learning a new language, it can give them an opportunity to access to foreign sources of engineering, and facilitate their studies.
On the other hand, concentrating on a particular objective, that is students' main subject in university, is more likely to result in desirable outcomes. To elaborate, when one tries to coordinate different tasks simultaneously, they have to divide their energy, rather than focusing on a certain field; because of that, each objective might lose its quality. Furthermore, students must manage the amount of engagement with the peripheral subjects; Otherwise, they might stray from their own lessons, the result of which brings regret. To illustrate, if a medical student gets interested in psychology, they must dedicate a logical amount of time for studying it, unless they would not prefer becoming a successful doctor. In conclusion, in conjuction with a proper administration, expanding knowledge in other subjects can be advantageous for university students. However, there is potential of loss in caliber of main subject.
