托福口语话题范例：Study（十）

Question:
    When they write a research paper, some students prefer to let their professors choose the topic for them, while others prefer to choose the topic on their own. Which one do you prefer and why?
Simple Answer：
    Personally, I think students should have the freedom to choose their own topics. To begin with, as we know interest is the best teacher. One is likely to motivate oneself when doing something he or she is interested in, students varying in interests and writing ability should choose their topics according to the field that they are familiar with and are interested in. For example, students growing up in a minority ethnic group can write a paper on the topic of ethnicity better than others. Apart from that, it is more fair for students to choose their own topic. Students who have firsthand knowledge in criminal law might not know a thing about interracial marriage. By allowing them to choose their own topic, everyone can draw upon their strength and avoid their shortcomings.
