Task 2: Some people think that university students should specialize in one subject, while others think universities should encourage students to learn a range of subjects. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Universities are the temple of learning where ample knowledge is imparted to the students. But what can be the perfect structure of teaching in terms of subjects has always been a matter of controversy. There is one belief that these institutions should make learners expert in one subject but other think differently that variety of subjects should be taught to the learners. I need to study both the views to frame my views.
A group of people who are in the favour of one subject believe that every subject has its depth as there is no end to learning. A student willing to become doctor need to get thorough knowledge of biology. Even in that subject he will get in depth study and his good knowledge will help him go perfect in his work and in future, he will be able to do justice to his work.
In addition, curriculum of many subjects may confuse the learners and may make them go under stress as there is already high competition in the society. Instead of jumping into many things at a time, better option is to focus on one and become confident.
Looking at other viewpoint, Knowledge of many subjects is the idea favoured by other group of intellectuals. Since it is a time of multi talented people, good information about different things can make a person more eligible for a job. To make it more clear, a person with knowledge of many things can handle different tasks at work and can understand the limit and possibilities of job he is doing.
Secondly, if one is not successful in one stream, he can try his luck in some other stream if one is having knowledge. Most importantly, in the time on technology, there are so many things are required to be learnt. For example a mechanical engineer will find himself more easy at work if he also knows how to operate computer or some applications that he may need at work.
Finally, i perceive that undoubtedly knowledge of one particular subject make one expert in the field but today big companies hire those who are multi skilled. I would recommend to go for more and more knowledge as it will not only make some more sought after in job market but also help him carrying out his work more efficiently.
To conclude, the more one learns, the more beneficial it will be for him. The universities should continue with their objective of imparting knowledge of different subjects.
