As is vividly depicted in the picture, a college student has trouble choosing between the two different types of courses: one is the course which emphasizes new knowledge and innovation and thus is difficult to learn, while the other is easy to pass with higher marks and has less assignments.

The picture illustrates the common dilemma most college students have to face. Though many students prefer to choose easy courses to get a high GPA or scholarship, personally I hold that we should take those challenging courses on behalf of our future. First of all, in the society which increasingly focuses on the personnel, the mastery of advanced knowledge will definitely strengthen our competitiveness. Furthermore, the way to success is full of obstacles and hardships. Anyone who is eager to get successful must realize that there is no shortcut to success at all because all achievements come from laborious trial and effort. Taking hard courses can help cultivate our spirits of challenging and working hard.

All in all, students should choose the courses which would benefit them in the long run. Only in this way can we live a meaningful and constructive college life.

【参考译文】

正如图片中生动描绘的一样，一名大学生正烦恼如何在两类课程之间做出选择：一种课程注重新知识、重创新，因此学起来有难度，而另一种课程很容易高分通过，作业也很少。

这幅图片阐释了大多数大学生普遍会遇到的困境。虽然很多学生更愿意为了获得高分数或奖学金去选择容易的课程，但我个人认为，我们应该为了我们的将来而选择那些有挑战性的课程。首先，在越来越重视人才的社会，掌握先进知识必将提高我们的竞争力。而且，通往成功的道路是充满阻碍和艰辛的。任何渴望成功的人必须意识到成功没有捷径，因为所有的成就都是来自于艰苦的尝试和努力。上难度高的课程能培养我们挑战和艰苦奋斗的精神。

总的来说，学生应该选择那些从长远来看带给他们好处的课程。只有这样，我们才能度过一段有意义的、积极的大学生活。

【题目分析】

        根据题目要求和图片信息，不难看出图片阐释当今大学生中普遍存在的一个现象：即很多大学生只选择那些给分高、容易通过的课程。

        本篇作文有两种写法：（1）阐述图片——分析两种选课方式的利弊——提出个人意见；（2）阐述图片——提出学生应该选择知识新、重创新的课程并解释原因——再次强调自己的看法。

【文章大纲】

        第一段：阐述图片，简要说明两种课程的特点。

        第二段：提出个人主张，即学生应该选择知识新、重创新的课程，并解释原因。

        第三段：再次强调自己的看法。
