问题    When to decide on a college major has long been a hot issue for university students. Some people believe that it is not proper to ask students to choose a major before they go to university and they should be given at least one year to take different courses so as to find their field of interest. Others, however, do not think so. What’s your opinion?

答案    When to Decide on a College Major?
   Chinese students have to choose a major when applying for a university and most of them have no opportunity to change that decision. Many people, however, begin to question whether it is the best practice.
   I would argue that students should be allowed at least a year to find a major they are really fond of. For one thing, high school students have little knowledge of majors at university, since they only learn fundamental knowledge of basic subjects. They may choose astronautics just because of the Shenzhou VII, only to find that the basic skills involved in this major are just what they are not good at. If they are allowed to make that decision in the second year at university, they can get more advice from professors and those juniors and seniors. For another, high school students may be largely swayed by their parents, who tend to choose those so-called lucrative majors in the hope that their children can get a job with a decent salary, disregarding whether they are interested in it or not. In the meantime, during the first year, they can develop varieties of skills by learning different disciplines. The problem-solving skill and analytical capability acquired in this process will be proved invaluable in their future learning.
   In conclusion, students should be given chances to make a wise decision on their majors, which may determine their careers in the future.
