　　话题分类：大学教育(生活)类话题

　　考题回忆：

　　At some universities, students take part in making decisions about the issues that affect daily life of everyone on campus, such as how many hours that the libraries should be open each day or what kinds of food should be served in the cafeteria. But at some universities, experts are hired to make these decisions, students almost never get involved. Which approach do you prefer and why.

　　解题思路：支持招聘 experts 来做这些决定。

　　1. 学生只会站在自己角度思考，所以作出的决定可能只会偏向自己的利益，会忽略一些其他方面应该考虑的问题，从而引起一些学校管理等方面的难题;

　　2. 专家的决定更加科学，专业;

　　3. 学生的意见可以被部分考虑，因为是直接关系学生生活的决定，但不应该要学生完全做决定。

　　参考范文：

　　Universities should be committed to student growth and success in everything students do. Schools should offer activities that instill a sense of belonging and should also provide services and resources to help students have better experience of college life. But does it mean students can fully take charge of decision-making process? The answer might be no.

　　First, when students consider about issues related to school life, such as library operating hours or dining options, they might only think about their own needs and preference while at the same time, some more relevant factors will be overlooked. About the operating hours of the school library, for example, students will for sure prefer to have a 24 hours library so that they can pull an all-nighter whenever they want. However, from the school’s angle, it will be much more difficult to manage and maintain the library. More staff has to be hired and more electricity will be consumed, which means much high running cost as well.

　　In another aspect, experts are more professional. They will aim to provide students with comprehensive dining experience. They strive to provide a variety of affordable food concepts that meet the nutritional demands of the diverse campus community. If students are allowed to decide their dining options, they might only choose fast and convenient food or foods that taste good but are not nutritious enough. The most important thing for students is health. In order to maintain a good health condition, they have to control their food intake. If this way, it is more reasonable to let experts who truly understand nutrition to make the decisions.

　　It is very understandable that students get involved in making these decisions because they are the ones who will be affected the most. Yet, experts are more professional, objective and when they make their decisions, they will see the whole picture and take all different factors into consideration.
