支持廣度論點 1｜職場變動快，跨領域的人比較好轉職

Point → 修過不同領域的學生，比較能適應職場變化。

解釋 → 很多例行性工作正在被自動化取代；只會一套技能的人，一旦那份工作消失就很難轉換跑道；有第二專長的人則可以把舊經驗帶到新職位。

例子 → 我在大學選科那篇用的是「行政工作被科技取代」。也可以用假設性例子：一位會計系學生選修了程式設計，公司導入自動化報表系統後，他從做帳轉成維護系統的人。

Since many routine jobs are being automated, graduates who have studied more than one field can move into a new role more easily when their original job disappears.

支持廣度論點 2｜先試過，才知道自己真正想走哪條路

Point → 接觸不同科目，能幫學生確認興趣，降低選錯方向的成本。

解釋 → 很多人選科系時只靠分數或家人建議，進了大學才發現不適合；越晚發現，轉換的時間和金錢成本越高。在學校就試過不同領域，等於用比較低的成本做一次職涯測試。

例子 → 我在實用技能同意版寫的例子：上了理財課，有學生發現金融很有趣，甚至因此想創業。

Taking courses outside their major allows students to test their interests at a relatively low cost, before they commit years to a career that may not suit them.

支持實用技能論點 3｜理財是每個人都需要的生活能力，而且不是每個家庭都會教

Point → 理財、報稅這類技能應該由學校教，因為它們關係到每個人的生活，而家庭教育的落差很大。

解釋 → 有些孩子的父母會教怎麼記帳、存錢，有些家庭完全不談錢；如果學校不教，這個落差會延續到成年後的財務狀況。由學校統一教，才能讓每個學生有相同的起跑點。

例子 → 假設性例子：一位剛上大學的學生第一次辦信用卡，不了解循環利息，只繳最低應繳金額，一年後卡債比原本的消費多出好幾成。

Teaching financial management at school ensures that every child, not only those whose parents discuss money at home, learns how to budget and avoid debt.

支持深度論點 4｜學歷和證照是進入專業職場的門票

Point → 專心讀主修、取得學歷，在求職時最有說服力。

解釋 → 醫生、律師、教師這些職業都有法定資格門檻，沒有學歷或證照根本不能執業；即使在沒有門檻的行業，雇主篩選履歷時也會先看學歷，因為它是最容易驗證的能力證明。

例子 → 我在大學選科那篇寫的就是醫生、律師、老師都必須出示證書。

In professions such as medicine and law, a recognised qualification is not merely an advantage but a legal requirement, so students cannot afford to dilute their main studies.

支持深度論點 5｜上課時間有限，有機會成本

Point → 學校的時間有限，多教實用技能就會壓縮學科時間。

解釋 → 一天的課就那幾節，加了一門修車課，就要從數學、自然或語文裡拿走時間；對準備升學的學生來說，被拿走的正好是決定他們能不能進理想大學的科目。

例子 → 我在實用技能反對版用的是台灣升學考試：數學和自然佔很重的比例，想上大學的學生一定要把這些科目讀好。

Every hour spent on car maintenance is an hour taken away from subjects such as mathematics, which still determine whether students can enter university.

支持深度論點 6｜實用技能在校外學更有效率、也更便宜

Point → 很多實用技能其實不需要由學校教，在家裡或職場學反而更有效率。

解釋 → 修車需要場地、工具和專業師資，學校要開課就得花一筆錢，最後可能排擠其他課程的經費；而這類技能在真正需要時，透過家人、網路教學或職前訓練就能學會。

例子 → 我在反對版寫的是：師資和教材稀缺，開修車課很貴，學校若過度重視這類課程，其他學科的預算一定會被壓縮。

Practical skills such as car maintenance can be learned more cheaply at home or on the job, whereas academic subjects require trained teachers that only schools can provide.

支持 gap year論點 7｜先工作一年，學到的是課本以外的能力

Point → 高中畢業後先工作，可以累積實務經驗，進大學後目標更清楚。

解釋 → 在職場上要準時、要跟不同年齡的人合作、要對結果負責，這些能力在高中教室裡很難練到；而且實際接觸過某個產業，選科系時就不會只看分數。

例子 → 我在 gap year 作文裡寫的是「學以致用」：在職場上處理有挑戰的任務，把理論放到實際情境裡。

Working for a year allows school leavers to develop responsibility and teamwork, and many of them return to education with a clearer sense of what they want to study.

反對 gap year論點 8｜沒有學歷與技能，能找到的工作有限，旅行又花錢

Point → gap year 的風險在於：學生能做的工作有限，選擇旅行則可能帶來經濟負擔。

解釋 → 剛畢業的高中生沒有學歷也缺乏專業技能，常常只能做低薪、甚至環境不安全的工作；選擇旅行的人沒有收入，交通、住宿、門票都要靠家人支付或借錢，回來後還要重新適應讀書的節奏。

例子 → 我在 gap year 作文裡寫的是住宿、交通、門票三種開銷，以及「找不到合適工作」這一點。

Without qualifications, school leavers are often limited to low-paid jobs, while those who travel may depend on their parents or even go into debt.

原文：第一個主體段（他方觀點）

Learning about other subjects is sometimes beneficial. First and foremost, learning comprehensive subjects makes students easier to adapt to changes in the workplace. For example, an increasing number of occupations, such as administrative workers, have been replaced since the development of technology; in this situation, workers who study different subjects are easier to find another job. Secondly, students can figure out whether they are interested in the main subjects they currently major in; this is extremely important because workers tend to work in related jobs in their whole career. To put it another way, learning other subjects grants students opportunities to access in knowledge in different realms, further checking their preference among different subjects.

改寫示範（第二個理由）

Secondly, taking courses outside their major allows students to find out whether they are genuinely interested in their main subject. This matters because most people stay in a related field for their whole career, so a wrong choice at eighteen can be costly. By attending a few classes in other disciplines, students can compare different fields before committing to one, which reduces the risk of regretting their decision later.

原文：同意版第一個主體段

The main reason I think school children should learn practical skills is that these skills are so useful that may provide a wide range of career choices. In other words, those practical skills grant school children opportunities to pick up some indispensable capabilities, further fostering competent professions in the workplace. The ability to give a public speech, which needs communication and organization skills, is a good example of this matter. An array of jobs like teachers, sales, and lawyers undeniably should be proficient in talking in the public. Therefore, learning practical skills along with academic knowledge at school positively impacts the children’s careers.

原文：反對版第二個主體段

I strongly disagree with the opinion that practical skills should be assigned in schoolchildren’s daily schedule due to the extremely high expenditure. To put it another way, when teaching schoolchildren practical knowledge, the authorities are required to pay a number of money to teachers and purchase the materials, posting financial burdens to schools. For instance, it is readily apparent that the price of car maintenance is absolutely high owing to the scarcity of lecturers and teaching materials. If the schools authorities overemphasize the courses of practical skills, the budget allocated to other academic curricula will undeniably decrease. Hence, practical skills are not necessary to be put on schoolchildren’s timetables when we put the expenditure and benefits into consideration.

原文：缺點段

The option of choosing to engage in gap years sometimes is disadvantageous. The first situation is that it is difficult for those students to find suitable jobs due to a lack of competent professions and academic qualifications. Conversely, they tend to work for jobs that are in dangerous environment and do not get fair salary, undeniably leading to an unfairness. Additional negative consequence is regarding financial burden, especially for those choose to travel instead of keeping studying. Since students do not have full-time jobs, it is difficult for them to afford the expenditure of accommodations, transportation, and the tickets for destinations.

改寫示範（第三句）

As a result, many of them end up in low-paid or even unsafe jobs, which can hardly be called valuable experience.

示範（主體段，約 130 字）

[Point] The main reason why I believe students should concentrate on their main subject is that a degree is only valuable if it reflects real expertise. [解釋] Employers in competitive fields rarely hire graduates for having attended many introductory courses; they hire those who can solve specialised problems from the first day. [延伸] If students spread their limited time across too many disciplines, they may graduate with a broad but shallow understanding that does not set them apart from other candidates. [例子] For instance, an engineering firm choosing between two applicants is likely to prefer the one who completed an advanced design project over the one who took several unrelated electives. [收尾] Therefore, for most undergraduates, depth of knowledge is a more reliable route to a good career than breadth.

Practice 1. Some people believe that universities should mainly prepare students for employment. Others think universities should focus on knowledge for its own sake. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Practice 2. Financial management should be a compulsory subject in secondary schools. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Practice 3. More students are now taking courses online instead of attending classes in person. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
