    I agree with the statement that studying abroad would be a beneficial choice for students in the universities. There is no doubt that amounts of knowledge from daily life to academic field can be learned. However, this proposal may not be an obligatory mission, and to some extent, it’s not practical.

    Spending one semester in a foreign country would have many merits for students. First off, by living in a place with different culture, one can broaden the mind. Youngsters can not only have a good sight of other countries’ scenery, like valleys, forest, waterfall, and prairie, they can also learn through interpersonal communication. For example, when dealing issues with local people, chances are that people with different beliefs consider things in disparate ways. Under this circumstance, it’s essential for students to embrace diversity and put themselves in others’ shoes. Thus, prejudice can dismiss based on communication and respect.

    Furthermore, in the time of globalization, countries put emphasis on cooperation. As a result, this is a suitable time for students to learn advanced technology and scientific ideas abroad. Yet, this applies not only to science and engineering students, but also to liberal arts students. Taking an art student for example, he or she may realize the most avant-garde fashion trends in Italy, feel some sorts of emerging art styles in France, or comprehend critical theory in America. In a word, all these experiences will have positive impacts on students who are eager to dig into certain field. And at the same time, the learning outcomes usually further prompt the development of a country or the whole world.

    Given the reasons above, requiring university students to study in a foreign country is generally reasonable advice. Nevertheless, the call for a broad educational experience also has a bad side. Just think of the cost of spending a semester in another place, not every family can afford it. Besides, some students may be too busy buried in scientific research projects or internships that they are not available to spare a semester and meet the university’s request. Taken those factors into consideration, students should make this decision according to their conditions, instead of the stipulation of universities.

    In the final analysis, studying abroad is an ideal option, which is advantageous for both students and society. But universities shouldn’t neglect that money and time cost also play a significant role in this requirement. Therefore, allowing students themselves to choose where and in what ways to study is a preferable regulation.

    Some people claim that we should have an all-round development to cater to the employers’ demands in this era. Because people who have multiple skills can do a wide variety of jobs with the same salary. However, I still think that we should persist in developing one strong point instead of mastering all kinds of abilities.

    There is no denying that focusing on one skill contributes to a deeper understanding. If one studies a subject for a life-long time, he/she will have a great likelihood to make an achievement. Take my aunt Susan as an example, she chose Psychology as her major in college. After graduation, she continued to study abroad in the area of psychotherapy. Until now, 15 years later, she still worked as a therapist. Every year she receives a number of Letters of Thanks from her previous patients. Her experience always reminds me that a successful man should choose one subject area and dig into it.

    On the contrary, if a person pursues various skills at a time, he/she can get easily distracted. Nowadays our country stresses computer technology skills, leading to a rush to learn programming. According to a survey conducted by my school, nearly half of the students have achieved Computer Grade II certificate, regardless of their majors’ relevance. These students believe that the more credentials they get, the more advantages they will have when hunting for a job. Consequently, students just attend different tutorial classes aimlessly. The side effect is that, when they prepare for these exams, they neglect the study of their professional courses.

    Although some companies ask for diverse skills when interviewing applicants, it doesn’t help if we develop irrelevant capacities. Therefore, we should put our heart on one thing and keep going.

    In summary, compared with learning techniques broadly, studying a single subject deeply sounds better.

    Some people claim that we should have all-round development to cater to the employers’ demands in this era. Apart from being knowledgeable in single field, people who have multiple skills will be more favored. However, I still think that people should persist in developing one strong point instead of mastering all kinds of abilities.

    On the contrary, if a person pursues for various skills at a time, he/she can be easily distracted. Nowadays our country stresses importance on computer technology skills, leading to an upsurge of programming study. According to a survey conducted by my school, nearly half of the students have achieved computer grade II certificate, regardless of their majors’ relevance. They believe that the more credentials they have, the more competitive they will be when hunting for a job. Consequently, they just attend different tutorial classes aimlessly. The side effect is that, when they prepare for these exams, they neglect the study of their professional courses.
