參考范文：

Some people may believe that going to classes should be optional, but I disagree. I don't understand how university students can expect to learn anything if they don't attend classes. Personal experience can help people learn about themselves and the world outside the classroom, but when it comes to learning about academic subjects, students need to be in class.

有些人可能認為，上課應該是選擇性的，但我不同意。我不明白如果大學生不去上課，他們如何能夠學到東西。個人的經(jīng)驗可以幫助人們了解自己和課堂以外的世界，但就學習學術課程來說，學生是需要去上課的。

In class they receive the benefit of the teacher's knowledge. The best teachers do more than just go over the material in the class textbook. They draw their students into discussion of the material. They present opposing points of view. They schedule guest speakers to come, give the students additional information, or show documentary films on the subject.

在課堂上他們接受教師傳授的知識的好處。好的老師不僅僅是照搬教科書上的材料。他們把他們的學生帶入材料的探討中。他們提出了相反的觀點。他們安排嘉賓的到來，給學生帶來更多的信息，或展示那個主題的紀錄片。

Also, attending classes on any subject teaches more than just facts. It teaches students how to learn, how to absorb information and then apply what they've learned to other situations. Their teacher is the best one to help them with these skills. They can't learn them just by reading the textbook.

同時，任何學科的課程所教的不僅僅只是事實。會教學生如何去學習，如何吸收信息，然后在其他情況下運用他們所學到的知識。老師是最好的人選來幫助他們掌握這些技能。那是他們不能僅僅通過閱讀課本而學習到的。

Going to class also teaches students how to work with the other members of the class. Many times students will be given group assignments. This is different from what they did in secondary school. Here they're with people from different backgrounds and experiences. In this situation, they learn how to handle working with people different from themselves to achieve a common goal.

去上課也教導學生如何與班上的其他人共處。很多時候學生要做小組作業(yè)。這與他們在中學中是不同的。在這里，他們有著不同的背景和經(jīng)歷。在這種情況下，他們學會了如何處理與自己不一樣卻有著共同的目標的人。

Going to class also teaches students responsibility and discipline. Having to be at a particular place at a particular time prepares themselves for getting a job. Being at a place on time with an assignment completed prepares them for a career.

去上課也教學生責任和紀律。必須在特定的時間、地點自己做好找工作的準備。在規(guī)定的地方按時完成任務是為找工作而做準備。

In short, by going to class, students learn more than just information from the teacher. They also learn how to learn, how to work with others, and how to work responsibly. These are not optional skills in life, so attending classes should not be optional in college.

總之，去上課的學生不僅僅是從教師身上學到知識。他們也學到如何學習，如何與他人合作，如何負責任地工作。這些都是生活必備的技能，所以不應該在大學上課是可選的。
