What Electives to Choose

Nowadays，colleges offer a great variety of electives for the students to choose from. Take Beijing Normal University as an example，the past 5 years has witnessed a sharp increase in the number of selective courses from 4 to 129，covering nearly every aspect of culture，science and technology.

When it comes to the choice of what specific electives to take，different students hold different opinions.Some choose practical courses to obtain necessary skills，so that they can have stronger competence in the future job hunting. While others select courses of their pure interest or(nurses that may look easier to pass the examination so as to get enough credits for the degree.

A s far as I am concerned, I Seize every chance to take courses that may enlarge my horizon for I want to be a man with sharp active and imaginative mind.(144词)

“一句话”点评

很显然，第一段的两个数据很轻松地抓住了阅卷老师的眼球。同时使用了witness, sharp等好词和(covering分词做伴随状语，增加了亮点。

快捷构思

第一段:描述现象，引人该段中心“各大学开设了各种各样的选修课”。而后“一句话”数例为具体现象展示，举出例子更加形象地说明大学开设的选修课越来越多。

第二段:以模板句提出该段中心“学生因为各种原因选择了不同的选修课”，接着分层列出同学们因不同原因而选择不同的课程:practical courses, courses of their pure interest和courses that may look easier to pass the examination

第三段:直接展现自己观点，并提出简要的一个原因，不做更深层次的展开。

美丽词句

(1)a great variety of各种各样的(明显优于全国人民都习惯使用的all kinds of)

(2)of their pure interest完全合乎兴趣的

(3)seize every chance to抓住每一个机会

(4)enlarge my horizon开拓视野(类似的表达还有broaden horizon

(5)sharp，active and imaginative mind具有锐利的、活跃的和富有想象力的头脑(三个生动形象的词语修饰mina，精彩的并列结构)
