It would be interesting to discover how many young people go to university without any clear idea of what they are going to do afterwards. If one considers the enormous variety of courses【C1】______, it is not hard to see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to his【C2】______and abilities. If a student goes to university to acquire a broader【C3】______of life, to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself, he will undoubtedly benefit. Schools often have too【C4】______an atmosphere, with its time tables and【C5】______, to allow him much time for independent assessment of the work he is【C6】______to do. Most students would, I believe,【C7】______a year of such exploration of different academic studies, especially those "all rounders" with no【C8】______interest. They should have longer time to【C9】______in what subject they want to take their degrees, so that in later life, they do not【C10】______and say, "I should like to have been an archaeologist.【C11】______I hadn't taken a degree in Modern Languages, I shouldn't have ended up as a(n)【C12】______, but it's too late now. I couldn't go back and begin all over again." There is, of course, another side【C13】______the question of how to make the best use of one's time at university. This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branch of learning. He is immediately【C14】______by the University of his choice, and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist, emerging with a first-class Honour Degree and very【C15】______knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about. It【C16】______becomes more and more important that, if students are not to waste their【C17】______there will have to be much more【C18】______information about courses and more advice. Only in this way can we be sure that we are not to have, on the one hand, a band of specialists【C19】______of anything outside of their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever increasing number of graduates【C20】______in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.
