范文点评
Recently,argument on whether English
majors study maths or not has been
hotter and hotter. Different people
have different ideas. A part of them believe
that
math
shouldn't
be
learned .While
others
think
that
they
should
develop
maths.
In my view,English
majors should learn maths.
Most of English learners,especially
girls, are extremely scared of math. To
escape
this
subject,
they
always
put
the
reason
this
way:
a
language
learner
hardly uses math, so
he shouldn't put much emphasis on math. However,
have
you
ever
seen
an
outstanding
person
just
spending
his
whole
days
on
one
major? The wold-wide-
known person Aristotle was famous for his
knowledge.
Let us image, if he have
insisted on just only one subject ,his cognition
and
capacity are ys, a great number of
companies are seeking
for those
generalists. If we were well-done in both English
and math, shouldn't
it become our
advantage?
On
the other hand, a university is not only a place
for technical training but
a
place
for
entire
development .Students
in
universities
are
being
told
for
comprehensive knowledge including
language, literature, philosophy, science
and so on. As an undergraduate majors
in English, it can be good to learning
mathematics
which
let
us
more
rational
and
wise.
For
English
students,
English may be
used as an implement to earn living, but math can
be treated as
an entertainment that can
boost the quality of life.
It
goes
without
saying that
people who
are
proficient
in
both
English
and
math
should be better developed than those concentrated
on English. Despite
the
difficulties
of
learning
math,
we
should
pursue
the
breakthroughs
in
our
lives. English majors
should study maths.
