Alongwith the development of our education, today most universities have offeredvarious electives for students to choose and study. However, some people claimthat these elective courses have very little effect on spreading knowledge andstudents’ development because what students concern about when choosingelectives are so different.

随着我国教育的发展，如今大多数大学都为学生提供了各种各样的选修课。然而，一些人认为这些选修课对传播知识和学生的发展影响很小，因为学生们担心选择选修课是如此之不同。

Thereare various kinds of reasons for choosing electives and I list some in here.Primarily, the most important and wide factor students concern about is theteachers of the courses. Instead considering the quality of the teacher, or theform or style of the teacher will take or act in the course, they just want tomake sure that the teacher they choose will never keep trace of theirattendance and let them fail in their exams. In addition, a large number ofstudents choose their elective courses aiming to get a high score but neverconsider what they will learn and how to apply to it. What’s worse, somestudents choose their electives just they are forced by their schools’institution demand and their score need.

有各种各样的选择选修课的原因，我在这里列出了一些。首先，学生关心的最重要和最普遍的因素是上课的教师。不是考虑教师的上课质量，或教师上课的形式、风格，他们只是想确保他们选择的老师不会经常考勤或让他们考试不及格。此外，大部分的学生选择选修课的目的在于得高分，而从不考虑从中会学到什么，如何去应用它。更糟糕的是，有些学生选择选修课只是因为学校的强制和分数的需要。

Asfar as I am concerned, I advocate that the most important thing we shouldconcern about when choosing electives is our personal interests. The mostworthy meaning for these electives is to broaden our horizon and extend ourknowledge as much as possible and to complement our major and compulsorycourses. Therefore, what electives we choose should be in accordance with ourinterests and our career planning instead of aiming to make high score or passthe exam.

我认为在选择选修课的时候我们应该关注的是我们个人的兴趣。这些最有价值意义的选修课可以扩大我们的视野，弥补我们专业必修课程的不足。因此，我们应该根据我们的兴趣和职业规划来选择选修课而不是为了得高分或通过考试。
