1、题目大意

有些人认为学校应该只教孩子们对他们未来职业有益的学术科目，其他科目如音乐和体育并不重要。你是否同意？

2、思路解析

这是一道观点类大作文，聊的是学校应该教孩子什么科目。审题时注意两点，一是绝对词“only”，一般遇到绝对的观点都是从反对角度切入会更好写。二是限定对象“are beneficial to their future career”，观点需要围绕这一点进行展开。下面，月半鸭和大家一起来看下具体观点。

首先来看这个观点的合理性。

对于大多数孩子来说，毕业后都需要找到一份工作及获得一份收入来保障自己和家人的生活。而能否熟练掌握数学、英语、语文等学术学科确实对他们的未来的职业发展有影响。一方面，他们的升学考试主要围绕着这些学术学科展开，考试成绩影响着他们能否进入更好的大学，而好的毕业院校背景一定程度上决定了他们能否找到好工作。另一方面，数理化等学科知识作为基础知识， 只有让学生掌握后才能进一步学习更加深奥的专业知识或职业技能。

然后来看这个观点不合理的地方，有三方面。

一是音乐或体育本身也能作为一种职业，如果能熟练掌握这些技能，对于孩子未来的就业也是有非常大的帮助。并且，有些孩子可能本身并不擅长学术类学科，但在音乐或体育上却有着天赋。强迫孩子学习他们所不擅长的科目而忽略他们的长项，并不利于他们的未来求职。

二是一个科目是否重要不应该单纯凭是否对就业有用来判断。即使不考虑以此为职业，适度学习音乐、体育等科目对孩子的成长也是有益的，学生可以通过学习音乐陶冶情操、放松身心，通过体育运动锻炼身体，学生的身心健康发展同样是学校应该重视的。

3、提纲

4、高分范文示例

Recently, a notion came into fashion, which is that school should focus on academic subjects because of a promising future, so music and sports are not useful. However, I still believe some people, including me, will show the opposite ideas in this respect.

First of all, an increasing number of students choose music and sports as their major, which means that they are likely to be musicians and athletes. In this case, supposed that they make their efforts in these fields, they will, basically, not fail to succeed. For example, Mozart and Beethoven, who plunge themselves into the love of the music, achieve the peak of music world which brings us the precious legacy. On the other hand, Michael Jordan who is a legend in basketball area gives a shock to the world.

The next reason why we should reserve the music and sports is that public needs them. Even though some people get perfect jobs with high salary, still, sometimes they are haunted by psychological problems coming from work or family pressure. Therefore, music and sports are two of the best ways to relax themselves. A case concerns Mr Kotler, a CEO of a multinational corporation. During the workday, he serves for his corporation; at the weekend, tennis and violin are his friends, which improve his mood that causes in the career.

Notwithstanding, although arts curricula such as music and sports are quite important to school education, academic courses such as math, physics, biology and chemistry can not be neglected and replaced, which are the foundation of science education. Too much time and energy spent on music and sports lead to insufficiency of scientific talents in countries. Therefore, there may be a subtle balance between science and art.

In a nutshell, as an integral part of education and future career, the subject of music and sport should not be viewed as useless one for students. Instead, multiple choice of subjects and universal interest in courses can improve the quality of students.
