Part I Writing
Division of labour has brought a growing debate over whether to major in science or humanities at college. In fact, both of them are of great significance. So we should choose according to our interest and the career we would like to be engaged in.
Firstly, the primary reason should be that we like the subject, want to study it carefully and regard it enjoyable to explore further. Majoring in humanities is a good choice for one who likes to think about ethical questions, know about different cultures through foreign languages, or understand the past through history, and majoring in science for one who would like to think critically, and master the skills to analyze a problem or situation.
Secondly, it's important to consider the career we will choose when deciding which one to major in. For one who dreams of discussing the philosophy of life, research into ways of thinking or the idea of democracy, it is better to major in humanities. And for one who hopes to make a GPS satellite or work in a technology company, majoring in science is the best answer without any doubt.
劳动分工引起了越来越多关于在大学主修理工学科还是人文学科的争论。事实上,这两者都很重要。所以我们应该根据自己的兴趣和想要从事的职业来选择。
首先,主要的原因应该是我们喜欢这个学科,想要仔细研究它,并认为进一步探究这一学科是令人愉悦的。对于喜欢思考伦理问题、想通过外语了解不同文化或通过历史了解过去的人来说,主修人文学科是不错的选择,而对于那些愿意进行批判性思考、想掌握分析某种问题或情况的技能的人来说,主修理工学科则是不错的选择。
其次,在决定主修哪个专业时,考虑我们将来要选择的职业很重要。对于那些梦想着讨论人生哲学、研究思维方式或民主思想的人来说,最好主修人文学科。对于一个希望制造出全球定位系统(GPS)卫星或在一家科技公司工作的人来说,主修理工学科毫无疑问是最好的答案。
