Nowadays, many students will be faced with a dilemma about which kind of major they should choose at college: science or humanities. Some people hold that they prefer the former to study science, but others take the attitude that it is much better to study humanities. From a personal perspective, I prefer the latter opinion.

The reasons why we should major in humanities are as follows. To begin with, in such a society which is full of intense competition, it is difficult for college graduates to get a great job when compared with others who have extensive knowledge, acute insight, and an innovative thought mode, which all are the excellent qualities that humanities could teach us. In other words, with such thinking mode, we could learn whatever we long for and become more competitive in job hunting. In addition, studying humanities can not only broaden our inner horizon but also cultivate a humanistic feeling which are very praiseworthy in this era.

From my perspective, people should understand the value of studying humanities at college. A better choice can be taken if we weigh the advantages and the disadvantages and only in this way can we learn more and have a promising future.

如今，很多学生都在大学选择专业方面选择面临一个两难选择：学理科还是学文科。有些人倾向于前者，即学理科，有些人则认为学文科更好。在我看来，我更倾向于后者。

我认为应该学文科的原因如下：首先，在充满激烈竞争的社会中，找一份好工作已经变得越来越困难了，尤其是和拥有广博知识、敏锐洞察力和创新思维的人相比，这些都是学文科能教给我们的优秀品质。换言之，有了这种思维模式，我们能学习我们渴望的任何东西并在找工作的过程中更具竞争力。此外，学文科不仅能提升内在修养还能培养一种人文情怀，这二者在当今时代都是十分可贵的。

在我看来，人们应理解学文科的价值。只有平衡利弊，才能做出更好的选择；也只有这样，我们才能学到更多并拥有一个光明的未来。

题目属于提纲情景类作文，要求就“大学学理科还是文科”给出建议。按照总分总的结构，文章首段需阐明现状并表明支持哪一方观点；中段则根据观点给出相应理由，可从学文科更能培养思维方式和提升自我修养两方面进行说理；尾段再次重申观点，阐述做出这种选择的重要性，展望未来并对全文进行总结。
