Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is better to have broad knowledge of many academic subjects than to specialize in one specific subject.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Education plays a crucial part in our life. In my opinion, possessing a broad knowledge of many academic subjects is better than specializing in one particular field. There are two reasons why I feel this way, which I will explore in the following paragraphs.
First of all, being knowledgeable in a wide range of subjects provides students with numerous essential skills, which can be extremely useful in the future. In this day and age, the job market is highly competitive. Therefore, being competent in many aspects of works can make one stand out from other candidates during the hiring process. Take my older sister as an example, when applying for a job position, she immediately made a good impression on the employer thanks to her extensive knowledge and skills in a diversity of areas. Not only is she good at accounting and finance, but she also has a good command of two foreign languages, which are Spanish and Japanese. In addition, she has time management and collaborative skills. These qualities make her a potential candidate, and eventually, she got a job at a multinational corporation. That is the reason why studying many subjects can stand us in good stead in the long run.
Second of all, focusing on one single subject could be tedious for many students. Having to study one specific topic repeatedly can cause them to feel bored and discouraged. For instance, my friend took a course in marine biology. She studied small organisms living under the seafloor in particular. At first, she felt excited and was highly interested in this matter, putting all of her efforts into every research and project that she did. However, she gradually grew tired of working on the same thing day after day. As a result, her academic performance was negatively affected, she received significantly lower scores now in comparison to the start of the semester. Her counselor advised her to take some other classes such as music or liberal art in order to recharge her battery and be enthusiastic in class again. For this reason, students should experience a variety of topics instead of concentrating on one subject all the time.
In conclusion, I believe that it is more beneficial to have a broad knowledge of different subject areas than to focus on one subject, for it not only opens up new job opportunities in the future but it also helps us avoid feeling boring and discouraged when taking courses in college.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
