【正确答案】正确答案： What Electives to Choose? With the reform of Chinese higher education and emphasis on the comprehensive development of students, universities are becoming more and more student-oriented. They offer undergraduates and even postgraduates a wide variety of optional courses in addition to their compulsory ones. Granted a high degree of freedom in choosing their favorite electives, students have made different decisions. Some select foreign languages to learn, others find it necessary to improve their computer skills, and still others are determined to be more job-oriented when choosing the courses. As far as I am concerned, I'm inclined to choose electives based on both the value of the courses and the interest of my own. In my eyes, university is not a place for survival skills, but a palace of knowledge and critical reasoning. I prefer to choose courses which can enrich my knowledge. Whether the courses can be of any practical uses does not make any big difference to me, because I think "To learn is fun". I tend to choose courses related to culture and literature, such as Cross Culture Communication, An Introduction to the World Literature and Different Schools of Western Arts. I believe these courses can not only widen my horizon, but also well cultivate my temperament and get myself improved.
