task 1 Some people think that practical subjects are more important than theoretical subjects in university, and the latter will be replaced by the former in the future. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this idea? (250 words, opinion) In this competitive society, employment experience has become very important features of ordinary students lives. While some people believe that it is not necessary to provide theoretical knowledge at college, but to give practical training, I disagree with this point of view. On the one hand, I agree that practical courses are necessary in order for students to learn. First of all, students could use what they have learned form practical subjects in realistic, and help them cope with practical problems. For example, students can acquire computer skills in university, which can be applied in their studies as well as their working lives. Secondly, students could enhance their vocational skills and potential attraction for employers according to practical subjects. They could acquire more job opportunities compared with applicants who lack related working experience, because some positions just seek for experienced applicants. Nevertheless, I believe that theoretical knowledge is the foundation of practical skills. That is to say, the current knowledge of students is not substantial enough to face the requirement of practical training. If students are not taught professional knowledge in university, they just depend on some basic academic knowledge that they studied in the high school. In fact, they are difficult to progress or gain abundant employment experience in practical courses. Moreover, students can summary formers’ experience and avoid making same mistakes according to learning theoretical knowledge. In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that theoretical subjects are as much as important as practical courses, without the support of theoretical knowledge, it’s hard for students to do well in practical courses.
