What electives to choose
Currently,in order to cultivate students with multiple abilities as well as to enrich campus life,universities around the country are offering various electives,ranging from practical skill training to arts appreciation.
Faced with such a wide range of electives,how do students make their choice?Different students have different considerations.For example,Some students always have their future career in mind,and choose courses that help to develop their practical skills and strengthen their knowledge base.Such students don't mind extra hard work.But there are also some"lazy"ones who prefer"easy-to-learn"electives.They don't care about their personal interests or the quality of the courses,since all they want is just to earn the required credits.
When it's my turn to choose an elective,I will put my personal interest first.Becoming a painter is one of my childhood dreams.Of course this dream never comes true.So when I choose the elective course of paining,I am not only reliving my childhood dream but also develop my personal style.Besides,in the painting course,I can make friends with people with common interests.We have a good time together,painting in colors and giving wings to our imaginations.
