Chinese senior middle school graduates have different opinions on how to choose their courses and universities．

We can see from the graph that about 35% of the students believe the choice should be based on their own interest．More students (around 45%), however, insist that main consideration should be given to the needs of the society．Interestingly, there are about 20% who find it too difficult to make a choice and would rather depend on their parents or teachers to make a decision．Personally, I would like to choose my courses and university according to my own interest．The reasons can be listed as follows．

To begin with, it is widely acknowledged that interest is the best teacher. With the help of this best teacher, my four-year learning experience in the university will be made more enjoyable and much easier as well. While on the other hand, it is a miserable thing to have to spend most of your time studying what you have no interest in. Quite apart from that, interest helps to arouse your curiosity, stimulate your motivation for exploring new things, thus leading to creativity and even a new invention, which might be beneficial to the whole world．

For these reasons/As mentioned above, I can draw a safe conclusion that there is nothing that will make my college life more fascinating than interest. I have every reason to believe that, with a goal in my mind, along with the interest and effort, I will surely achieve great success in the coming university life．
