TOEFL Writing Practice Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: All university students should take basic science courses regardless of their fields of study. Answer: I agree that all university students should take basic science courses no matter what their majors are. Learning science can benefit us in various aspects. For examples, we can acquire the basic knowledge that can be applied in our daily life, such as washing the dishes more easily, bleach clothes by natural resources, and carrying heavy objects with few force. In addition, recently some studies show that learning knowledge in various areas helps our brains run more quickly and smoothly. We may stuck into the mud, when learning the unfamiliar subjects. However, it facilitates the blood circulation in brain and connects the nerve cells to make us think more fast. So we will acquire other knowledge faster and remember information longer. Even, we will adapt ourselves in the new fields in shorter time and come up with other new ideas. Last but not least, since the world is unlimited, we should always be ready for embracing the new things at any time. Therefore, in my opinion , every university student should take a basic science courses.

Question:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: All university students should take basic science courses regardless of their field of study?

Answer:

I agree that all university students should take basic science courses no matter what their majors are. Learning science can benefit us in various aspects. For example, we can acquire some basic knowledge that can be applied in our daily life, such as washing the dishes more easily, bleaching clothes by natural resources, and carrying heavy objects with less effort.

In addition, recently some studies show that learning new things helps our brains run more quickly and smoothly. We may stuck into a groove, when learning the familiar subjects. However, it facilitates the blood circulation in brain and connects the nerve cells to make us think faster. So we will learn other things faster and remember things longer. We can even adapt ourselves to new fields in shorter time and come up with other new ideas.

Last but not least, since the world is unlimited, we should always be ready to embrace new things at any time. Therefore, in my opinion , every university student should take a basic science course.

Very well written!

Michelle you can put it very simple, our world is fascinating and so rich in many ways. Knowing more about how things work and react together, knowing why the sea appears blue but in reality isn't, will let us understand just how little we know and therefore being just so grateful for every new knowledge we acquire ;P. Have a happy day :D 你的英文非常棒。加油!

You mentioned an irrelevant issue, ( washing the dishes more easily, bleach clothes by natural resources, and carrying heavy objects with few force), and your're trying to claim that learning basic science will settle this issue ? Skills that involves washing the dishes and etc., doesn't entail learning basic science at university: the suggestion that they do is an irrelevant red herring fallacy.
