题目： 
      “College students – and people in general – prefer to follow directions rather than to make their own decisions. Therefore, colleges should eliminate as many choices as possible in order to offer students clear direction.”
 
范文：
      While it may be true that there are some college students and people that prefer to live their lives based on the directions of others, most people prefer freedom of choice, particularly when choosing an education and the future paths of their own careers. There are certainly some institutions that can benefit by eliminating as many choices as possible, but on the whole, students and people in general must be given free rein over the choices that they make in order to control their own lives.
 
      The freedom to choose one’s own destiny is a fundamental human right. While it is true that simply because a college eliminates as many choices as possible to give students a clear direction does not deny any individual that freedom (they can always choose another university or choose not to attend university at all), it is still a somewhat disturbing idea that students would actually need such an action to guide them through their university years. It is absurd to think that college students would actually want a reduction in their number of choices in the educational process, particularly at that age where they are just now being allowed to finally make some of their own choices. It is a fundamental part of the normal process of maturation at the age when young adults are finally given the freedom to make choices of their own volition.
 
      Certainly there are some institutions that can benefit from a policy of narrowing the choices for students to give them clear direction. One example would be that of the military training schools, where freedom of choice is secondary in importance to learning to behave in the same manner, no matter what the situation is. Future military personnel must learn how to follow orders in order to ensure the success of the military organization as a whole. For these students, a clear sense of direction and a well-charted path to development is a necessity. The need for regimented training and an ability to follow orders to the letter in a military situation fundamentally requires that the students have fewer options to choose from, even in a university situation.
 
      Additionally, consideration must be given to the fact that giving students or people in general more choices rather than less can be conducive to the development of that person as an individual. With a wider variety of choices, it is more likely that a student can choose exactly the courses that he or she wishes to take in order to reach his or her fullest potential. Narrowing the choices available also narrows the skills that future graduates from that particular university will have. Although having fewer choices can simplify the process of making a decision for students, it also results in more homogeneity of the graduates. As more students are required to pursue the same educational path, the competition among graduates for finding a job will be even tougher, as employers will look upon them as all the same. It is possible that only the best and brightest of these similarly educated graduates will find employment in their areas of education simply because there are too many of them with the same educational backgrounds.
 
      Narrowing a student’s choices is a seemingly simple and relatively harmless way to sharpen his or her focus upon entering college. But the end result of such a policy is to increase competition among college graduates, to create more dependency on others to make choices for them, and to constrain students from making more specialized choices in education to fulfill their goals of self-realization.
