In this question, you are asked to give your opinion about a familiar topic. After you hear the question, you will have 15 seconds to prepare your response and 45 seconds to speak.
QUESTION:
Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to get a broad education. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understanding of that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?
HOW TO ANSWER AT A HIGH LEVEL:
In this question, you are asked to make a choice between two given options. In a complete, well-developed response, you should clearly state your choice/preference.
You may choose both options, but you must support both of them with reasons that are detailed. If you think taking a variety of courses is better, make sure you explain in detail what your reasons are for having that opinion. Here is an example: “Taking a variety of courses is better because it gives you an opportunity
to learn about subjects outside of your field of study. Because so many fields of study are related, you never know when knowledge from one area will be helpful in another.” This kind of response clearly shows which option was chosen and includes a detailed reason why it was chosen.
