It would be interesting to discover how many young people go to university without any cle

ar idea of what they are going to do afterwards. If one considers the enormous variety of courses【C1】______ , it is not hard to see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to his【C2】______ and abilities. If a student goes to university to acquire a broader【C3】______ of life, to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself, he will【C4】______ benefit. Schools often have too restricting an atmosphere, with its time tables and【C5】______ , to allow him much time for independent【C6】______ of the work he is asked to do. Most students would, I believe,【C7】 ______ by a year of such exploration of different academic studies, especially those "all rounders" with no【C8】______ interest. They should have longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degrees, so【C9】______ in later life, they do not look 【C11】______ and say, "I should like to have been an archaeologist.【C10】______ I hadn't taken a degree in Modern Languages, I shouldn't have ended up as a(n)【C12】______ , but it's too late now. I couldn't go back and begin all over again."

There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best【C13】______ of one's time at university. This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branch of learning. He is immediately【C14】______ by the University of his choice, and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist, emerging with a first-class Honour Degree and very【C15】______ knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about. it【C16】______ becomes more and more important that. If students are not to waste their【C17】______ , there will have to be much more【C18】______ information about courses and more advice. Only in this way can we be sure that we are not to have, on the one hand. a hand of specialists【C19】______ of anything outside of their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever increasing number of graduates 【C20】______ in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.
