    As is describe in this issue, author believes that universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student’s field of study. In my point of, what author says is not thoroughly correct because the words “require” is too extreme in this case. I think instead of require, universities should encourage students to take a variety of courses outside the student’s field of study.
    As far as I am concerned, taking a variety of courses can help us to explore the world and to find out what we truly love. A lot of students go to university with a common confusion: “what do we really like to do?” Taking a variety of courses can bring them different real feelings about different kind of fields that they might eventually devoted to. Bill gates will not devote to computer unless he used it and had feeling about it. And there are some fields that students will enjoy and they need to find that out by taking variety of courses.
    For students who have already know what they like to do, taking different courses can also help them achieve their goal. One thing students can learn from taking different courses is they can know how others think and will understand how to view a certain thing from different ways. Once they understand to view a thing from different perspectives, they can make a better analyze when they face difficulties in future and they can solve the difficulties easier. Take noble prize winner, Kroto as an example, he was inspired by an architecture so that he figured out the structure of C60. Kroto loves painting and architecture when he was a student in university and he said these hobbies helped him a lot in the later career as a scientist.
     What’s more, taking different courses can also help students make friends with people who have different hobbies, backgrounds. It can help up socialize with variety of people. Sometimes the field student chose might not finally be the job that student got, but the people they knew from different courses can end up being good friends for a life time.
       However, given all the benefits mentioned above, universities still should not require every student to take variety of courses. Education should base on student’s interest and if a students really have no interest in math, university should not require him or her to study it. A lot of great writers are poor at math, such as Chinese famous novelist qian zhong shu, who got only 9 points in the high school entrance examination. If universities force them to study math, they probably could never be such a good novelist.
      To sum up, even though taking variety of courses can help students find out their interest, broaden their horizon, socialize with different people, universities still should not require ever student to take variety of courses because education should base on the interest of students.
