People’s views differ greatly in whether or not specialist is superior to generalist. To voice my opinion, in comparison with solely imparting career-related knowledge, to provide students with a rich variety of subjects deserves more praises. 【解析】 1. …… is superior to …… v优越于…… 2. deserves more praises v更加值得赞美 二段：让步段：专才教育的利好 Indeed，I have to concede that acquiring career-oriented knowledge and job-related skills is never without its merits. For a start, one can have more opportunities of securing a decent job with promising future if he or she can excel in one specific field. From our lives, it is easy to find some examples to prove that those graduates coming from vocational training schools are more easily to get a reasonable career. Also, one’s time and energy is limited，therefore, as a proverb goes, Jack-of-all-trades is master of none. 【解析】 1. is never without its merits 远非没有其利好 2. secure a decent job with promising future 找到体面的有前途的工作 3. excel in one specific field 精通于一个特殊的领域 三段：反驳段：通才教育的利好 However，I want to rebut that specialized education is not universally suitable for the vast majority of students. Conversely, a person who has studied a wide range of subjects could，to a larger extent，realize his or her all-round development. More precisely, people will enlarge their scope of knowledge and broaden their mental horizons. Another convincing argument is that the cultivations of a variety of competences could help one make full preparations for work in different fields，by contrast，a man who just zero in on the subjects he or she takes interest in will have to face more risks of unemployment triggered by a single career choice 【解析】 1. is not universally suitable for v不是普遍适合…… 2. realize his or her all-round development. v实现全面的发展 3. have to face more risks of unemployment triggered by a single career choice v面对单一职业选择带来的失业的风险 尾段：再次亮明观点 + 总结理由 In closing，I re-affirm my conviction that compared with focusing on career-oriented courses，taking various courses is more feasible and rational because it helps students realize comprehensive development and foster more personal talents. Further, our society need talents with a wealth of knowledge, so, a person who study many courses will enhance the competitiveness in the future job-seeking. 【解析】 1. is more feasible and rational 更加的可行和理性 2. enhance the competitiveness in the future job-seeking. 提高未来择业的竞争力 【原创范文赏析】(2) 首段：背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场 A man without education is a victim of adversity, however, educationalists have been pondering, for many years, which one is more preferable, specialized education or comprehensive education. Convincing arguments could be explored to justify both sides. As I see it, it is of immense value for students to receive the comprehensive education to enhance one’s all-round abilities. 【解析】 A man without education is a victim of adversity. 一个没有受过教育的人是逆境的牺牲品。 二段：专才教育的利好 Granted, those who support the specialized education do have reasons to some extent. For one thing, it is extremely efficient for the learners to acquire knowledge more effectively when applying themselves to only one subject. For another, it exerts a beneficial impact on the future job-hunting, for the specialists can definitely meet the demand of some enterprises. The training of athletes, cooks and other professionals can serve as perfect examples. 【解析】 1. applying themselves to only one subject 只专注学习一门课程 2. athletes, cooks and other professionals 运动员，厨师或者其他的专业人士 三段：通才教育的利好 Nonetheless， on no account could we ignore the immense value of general education. First, acquiring divergent subjects could help enlarge ones’ knowledge scope and foster more competences. Still, by means of all-round learning, it can add spice to students’ dull routine of daily life. It is conceivable that one can cultivate various hobbies and talents as a generalist. Last, knowledge is not a burden. Acquiring a wide range of subjects could enable one to better prepare him or her for the future career challenges because the moral education and character-training it covers could be beneficial to ones’ growth 【解析】 1. add spice to students’ dull routine of daily life. 增加生活的乐趣 2. moral education and character-training 道德教育和性格培养 尾段：亮明观点 In closing, it is fairly difficult to say that the special education is the better way to cultivate the youngsters. My view is that everyone could benefit a great deal from the general learning, both psychologically and intellectually. 【小鹏哥语料库】 1. generalist n通才 2. specialist n专才 3. specialized education n专才教育 4. comprehensive education n通才教育 5. acquire a range of subjects v学习广泛的课程 6. acquire a wealth of knowledge v 学习大量的知识 7. travel in the ocean of the knowledge v畅游知识的海洋 8. avoid the possible risk of unemployment v 避免失业的风险 9. knowledge is not a kind of burden 艺多不压身 10. help one be well-prepared for the future career challenges 帮助一个人适应未来事业的挑战 作者介绍： 薛鹏()，新东方网专栏作家，高中时代出版诗文集《选择坚强》，每年创作20万字原创语料库以及范文。吉林大学外国语言学及应用语言学硕士。英语教学经验 (7年新东方雅思托福SAT教学经历)，前长春新东方功勋教师，多次培训出雅思和托福高分学员(雅思写作8.0分，托福写作29分)。 爱生活，爱运动，爱音乐电影，爱旅行美食，爱读书摄影，更爱英语教学。20岁登上英语讲台，主讲英语万词速记课程。熟悉GRE、TOEFL、SAT、TEM、CET等各级别词汇教学。 大一时即在报刊杂志上主持“英语学习系列谈”以及“薛鹏教你学单词”等专栏。获得“外研社/朗文杯”新概念背诵大赛吉林省赛区大学成人组冠军，全国总决赛大学成人组二等奖。 对于各类写作课程有精深研究，授课方式行云流水，妙语连珠，知识底蕴深厚，对学员极具有启迪性和激励性。 教学理念：Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.(教育不是注满一桶水，而是点燃一把火) 版权声明：本文系新东方网独家稿件，版权为新东方网所有。转载请注明来源和作者，否则必将追究法律责任。 编辑推荐： 更多内容请关注，也可扫码关注我们的微信公共账号。（编辑：秦洁）
