Education is one of the key words of our time，however, people have been debating, for many years, about the perfect standard of education. People’s views differ greatly in whether or not specialist is superior to generalist. To voice my opinion, in comparison with solely imparting career-related knowledge, to provide students with a rich variety of subjects deserves more praises.

1. …… is superior to …… v优越于……
2. deserves more praises v更加值得赞美

Indeed，I have to concede that acquiring career-oriented knowledge and job-related skills is never without its merits. For a start, one can have more opportunities of securing a decent job with promising future if he or she can excel in one specific field. From our lives, it is easy to find some examples to prove that those graduates coming from vocational training schools are more easily to get a reasonable career. Also, one’s time and energy is limited，therefore, as a proverb goes, Jack-of-all-trades is master of none.

1. is never without its merits 远非没有其利好
2. secure a decent job with promising future 找到体面的有前途的工作
3. excel in one specific field 精通于一个特殊的领域

However，I want to rebut that specialized education is not universally suitable for the vast majority of students. Conversely, a person who has studied a wide range of subjects could，to a larger extent，realize his or her all-round development. More precisely, people will enlarge their scope of knowledge and broaden their mental horizons. Another convincing argument is that the cultivations of a variety of competences could help one make full preparations for work in different fields，by contrast，a man who just zero in on the subjects he or she takes interest in will have to face more risks of unemployment triggered by a single career choice
【解析】
1. is not universally suitable for v不是普遍适合……
2. realize his or her all-round development. v实现全面的发展
3. have to face more risks of unemployment triggered by a single career choice v面对单一职业选择带来的失业的风险

Granted, those who support the specialized education do have reasons to some extent. For one thing, it is extremely efficient for the learners to acquire knowledge more effectively when applying themselves to only one subject. For another, it exerts a beneficial impact on the future job-hunting, for the specialists can definitely meet the demand of some enterprises. The training of athletes, cooks and other professionals can serve as perfect examples.

Nonetheless， on no account could we ignore the immense value of general education. First, acquiring divergent subjects could help enlarge ones’ knowledge scope and foster more competences. Still, by means of all-round learning, it can add spice to students’ dull routine of daily life. It is conceivable that one can cultivate various hobbies and talents as a generalist. Last, knowledge is not a burden. Acquiring a wide range of subjects could enable one to better prepare him or her for the future career challenges because the moral education and character-training it covers could be beneficial to ones’ growth
【解析】
1. add spice to students’ dull routine of daily life. 增加生活的乐趣
