Part B

This is a simple but meaningful drawing. As can be seen in it, a college student is sitting in front of a computer, confused as to which optional course to register for: one can be passed easily with a high score while the other is challenging but provides new knowledge and emphasizes creativity.

Simple as the drawing is, the message it conveys is thought-provoking. Evidently, it is meant to reveal the dilemma facing a number of college students: to go after high scores or to acquire more knowledge and cultivate ability. A number of factors may account for this phenomenon, but the leading one might be the fact that the school or the employer make a point of students' scores when evaluating them. Scores are closely related to scholarships, various opportunities and job offers. Such being the case, many students have to give up their intentions to register for courses that are really valuable to them in content. If the trend is allowed to continue, the consequence can be worrisome.

In view of the seriousness of the situation, effective measures must be taken to curb the trend. In the first place, it is imperative that the school and employer change their standard of evaluating students, taking more into consideration students' real amount of knowledge and actual ability. In the second place, students should enhance their awareness of mastering as much knowledge as possible, and should know that it is their knowledge and ability that will really make the difference in the long run.
