From my perspective, project-based leaning is more effective. Although students could get (Two consecutive spaces)knowledge directly from the books and their teacher through the traditional lecture method, the information stored in their memories is always abstract and temporary, which contributes less to their futuerfuture(misspelling) academic performance. However, if they conduct a related project by themselves, the experience will consolidate the master of the concept laid out on paper. By the way, with the guidance of teachera teacher(This rule identifies whether the article 'a' is missing in a sentence.) and assistance of peers, they are likely to learn more beyond the book, such as developing interpersonal skills, exploring new interests in other fields and cultivating a sense of achievement. For example, I used to participate in the course named the Management of Art Museum. I felt boring and tough initially since the textbook was sophisticated. But after conducting the course project, I totally indulged in it by executing a lively art exhibition through the joint efforts of our team. This really brought me an excellent experience and allowed me to have a deeper understanding of this course.

In my opinion, project-based learning proves to be more effective than the traditional lecture method. While students can certainly acquire knowledge directly from books and lectures, the information they retain tends to be abstract and temporary, contributing less to their future academic performance. On the other hand, engaging in a course-related project allows students to solidify their understanding of concepts through hands-on experience. Moreover, under the guidance of instructors and with the support of peers, students can expand their learning beyond textbooks by developing interpersonal skills, exploring new interests in various fields, and cultivating a sense of achievement. For instance, I once participated in a course called "The Management of Art Museums." Initially, I found the subject matter tedious and challenging due to its complexity. However, after completing a course project that involved organizing a lively art exhibition with my team's collaborative efforts, I became fully immersed in the subject matter. This enriching experience not only deepened my understanding of the course but also demonstrated the advantages of project-based learning over traditional lecture methods. (178 words)

I share Andrew’s perspective that secondary school students should be allowed to choose their own field of study at universityuniversity,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) following their own ideas. When working at the major chosen by themselves, students will have more enthusiasm and impetus to overcome difficulties and perform better academically, or at least, be happier to learnlearn,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) like Andrew said. For example, if a student is interested in literature research, he may already have read many books during the secondary school period and have unique perspectives towards different themes of literature at different epochs, which enables him to deeper learning and research. Meanwhile, make their own choices for university major will cultivate students’ ability of gathering information. To determine major, students need to understand their own interests and strengths, investigate the employment performance and have a basic understanding of the subject, which paves the way for their future development.

Title: 6 文章修订

I concur with Andrew's viewpoint that secondary school students should be granted the autonomy to select their own field of study at university, based on their individual interests and passions. Pursuing a major of their own choosing fosters greater enthusiasm and motivation, enabling students to excel academically and derive genuine satisfaction from their learning experiences, as Andrew mentioned. For instance, a student with a keen interest in literary research may have already delved into numerous books during their secondary education, developing unique insights into various literary themes across different eras. This intellectual curiosity would undoubtedly facilitate deeper learning and exploration within their chosen field.

Moreover, allowing students to make independent decisions regarding their university major cultivates essential skills in information gathering and self-assessment. In order to make an informed choice, students must evaluate their own interests and strengths, investigate potential career prospects, and gain a foundational understanding of the subject matter. This process not only empowers them to take charge of their educational journey but also lays the groundwork for future personal and professional growth. (178 words)
