问题     At present it is hard for college graduates to find jobs. Many people claim that college teachers should give priority to practical courses like computer science and business over such traditional ones as history and geography. What do you think? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.
    In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
    Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
选项
答案                     Top Priority of College Education
    The number of college graduates is surging while a substantial proportion of them have difficulties in finding employment after their graduation. Many people hold the opinion that lack of practical knowledge, among other things, contributes to this situation. In light of this, they contend that college teachers should lay more stress on practical training than on theoretical lessons. Personally, I strongly disagree with their point of view for three reasons.
    Firstly, fundamental theories, such as math and physics, are the basis of other knowledge. To a student who majors in automatic control, the course of control system is the most practical and useful in the future. But if he isn’t good at math and circuit, he will hardly be able to understand the principles and methods of how to control a subject or a process. It is just like constructing a building. How can you imagine a spectacular high-rise without a firm groundsill? Therefore, theories and practices are interrelated. We can ignore neither of them.
    Secondly, college education, totally different from technical training, aims to cultivate all-rounded students. With this goal in mind, college students should dip in various subjects while simultaneously concentrating on one academic field as their major. It is likely that they will not excel immediately after they work in a new post for the first time due to their lack of social expe-rience and practical skills. However, when they are adjusted to the reality of work, they will play an important role and become valuable asset of the company they work for, owing to their excellent ability. Their value is enormous in the long run, but may be invisible in the short term. Any far-sighted employers, especially those in established international companies, understand this point and formulate their recruiting principles accordingly. There is no need for college students to make a rush to follow the tendency blindly.
    Thirdly, universities are where theoretical knowledge is handed down from generation to generation. As we all know, from Oxford University to Yale University, from Beijing University to MIT, universities congregate a lot of preeminent scholars and professors whose main jobs are the academic research. They are responsible to impart the academic knowledge to the young generation in case it is faded from our memory.
    In summary, from what has been discussed above, we may safely arrive at the conclusion that the theoretical courses are not as obsolete, profitless and unimportant as some people believed. Theoretical knowledge, in my opinion, should be the top priority of college education.
解析     本文以对比句式作为首句，很好地吸引了读者的注意力。同时，在第一段的最后一句，作者直截了当地亮出了自己的观点，开门见山。在正文部分，作者分别从三个方面进行论述，使用了firstly，secondly，thirdly这些标志词，层次分明。首先，基础理论是其他知识的基础；其次，大学教育培养的是全面发展的人才；最后，大学是理论知识代代相传的地方。这三个分论点从不同的角度论证了作者的观点，环环相扣。在论述观点时，作者采用了举例、对比、说理、因果关系等论证手法，论证手段多样，内容展开充分，逻辑性强，让人信服。
