Speaking 6.2
In-class activities:
1. Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas
in order to get a broad education. Others choose to focus on a single
subject area in order to have a deeper understanding of that area. Which
approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?
1.1 Students are able to enlarge knowledge in many subjects.
e.g. I went to Thailand before, and I have learnt the local culture in
the famous spot in history subject. So, I could understand many
culture in Thailand.
1.2 I also have learnt biography subject. Once, I have been invited to a
wedding, and then I was very bored, I took an onion to split its skin.
Because I had learnt this in the biography class, I can use the related
knowledges to study the onion. If I just take a single subject, I am not
able to study other interesting subjects.
2. Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on
society. Others believe it has had a negative influence on society. Which

2.1 Television decreases the vision of people, especially people have a
long time to keep their eyes on the television screen.

people want to watch TV dramas, they will be attracted by television.
