晚上好，这是写作专栏的第十五期，关于专栏的介绍可见：
怎样写一篇作文？
最近有同学提到一个问题：每次考场上写作文时间总是不够，来不及构思，写出来的句子也有很多语法错误，应该怎么办？
实际上，除非你天赋异禀，不然要在30到40分钟内写出一篇还算凑合的作文并不是一件容易的事情。对于刚开始练习考场作文的人来说，写一篇300词的作文花上两三个小时其实很正常（有时候甚至需要更长时间）。但好消息是，随着练习次数的增多，写一篇作文所需要的时间会越来越短。这是因为考场作文是一种相对模式化的写作方式，在练习的过程中我们会逐渐形成自己的“模板”（比如开头段应该怎么写，论点应该怎样展开，结尾段应该怎么写），不同题材的作文都可以用这个“模板”去套。同时，很多常见句式和词组也可以在不同题材的作文中“复用”，这也大大加快了我们的写作速度。
对于基础一般的同学来说，如果在考试前能够练习30到40篇作文，写作的速度和质量肯定会有一个很大的提升。刚开始练习的时候不要限时，不管是花三个小时还是三天，只要把作文写出来就行，但写完后要检查，确保作文里面没有语法错误，对于不确定的单词和用法要查词典，并且做总结，保证以后不重复犯错。写到第10篇左右，等速度上来后可以开始做限时训练。如果考场作文要求时间是40分钟，那平时练习可以将时间控制在35分钟，这样实际考试时才能游刃有余。
一句话总结：考场写作不能临时抱佛脚，平时大量练习就是最好的准备。
今天要分析的题目是：
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.
这是作文的原始版本：
文/Scottie
When it comes to the college education, some deem that students should follow a curriculum according to their interest, and the others reckon that they are supposed to major in what will benefit their careers. I personally believe that college students should study both specialized courses and elective courses.
Offering students the opportunity to select whatever they like is conducive to their further development. Universities, the spiritual home of liberty, inspiration and self-improvement, are placed great expectation on fostering young generation to find the right life paths and fulfill their potential. It is an effective method to complete the value of universities by means of providing diverse courses and remove all obstacles to them. Additionally, students who have unrestrained access to various subjects are able to acquire extensive knowledge and express interest in different fields, resulting in a wide circle of friends.
If the university makes students married to useful subjects, they are likely to acquire a specialist working knowledge for future careers. As many employers complain that college graduates have a nodding acquaintance with required professional expertise because they distracted attention from study at college, so college administration should enforce a tight rule and guarantee students to concentrate on their majors. What is more, abundant useful skills are a tribute to personal potential, and will help graduates to stand out from the competitors. In fact, some students choose less complicated courses under the banner of developing interest, and their true intention is to obtain credit easily and get good grades.
In my view, students should study both tough major lessons and interesting ones, and allocate more time on useful subjects. On the one hand, it generally costs more time and energy to get the hang of the useful compulsory courses because of the high difficulty. On the other hand, taking interesting courses at leisure can help to alleviate the burden on students.

这篇作文的重点在于讨论：
1）学生在大学阶段学习自己感兴趣课程的好处
2）学生在大学阶段只学习那些“有用”的课程（比如理工科）的好处
并且需要给出自己的观点和倾向。
学生在大学阶段学习自己感兴趣的课程，主要的好处是：
1）学生会有足够多的热情去学习这些课程，这使得他们更加容易取得好成绩，掌握专业技能，对以后的职业发展有利。
主要缺点是：
1）如果学生仅凭借自己的兴趣选择一些冷门专业，他们在毕业的时候可能比较难找到工作。
学生在大学阶段只学习那些“有用”的课程，好处是：
