History has always been an important subject of our school education. Learning history allows us to understand our own society and our identity, as well as our own culture and other cultures, and helps us to gain experience from historical figures and incidences that can be applied to solve present problems. Unfortunately, in recent year, we have seen growing trend that university students do not seem to know as much about our history as they should. In response, some people suggested that all university students should be required to take history courses. Although the starting point of such suggestion is good, most people disagree with it, and believe such practice to be a distract from the main goal of college education and is against the students free will to choose subjects of their own interests.
First of all, a required history course regardless of student’s major can obstruct students from concentrating on achieving their academic goal. Unlike high school or any previous education stage, the main goal of university education is to equip students with in-depth knowledge of skill of a certain field- a specialty-that prepare they for the future career life. Around such goal, chosen of all subjects should be able to contribute to the knowledge or skill built of a student’s major. Thus, throughout a school term, with limited school credits (which can be expensive and already paid for by students), it is best for a university student to choose subjects that can allow them to benefit most for their academic goal. 98 For example, for a student majored in Environmental Science, if given choice, it would be wiser to choose a Introduction to Environmental Science course other than a history course as the former would for sure help the student with study of his/her own major. Nonetheless, by putting time and effort to accomplish course requirements of a subject that is unrelated to their major, students could also feel distracted from concentration on their main field of study.
In addition, mandatory history courses might jeopardize university students interests in study history. University students have great freedom in courses selection, and most of them have the tendency to resist mandatory classes without enough reasoning regarding how such classes are related to them, because such required classes deprive students from their right of free choices, make they feel repulsive. As a result, instead of promoting students’ interests in history, the practice of pushing for mandatory history courses could largely suppress students interests in history. For example, when I was in college, students from all majors were required to take a class of World History. It was a big class with over two hundred students, only small portion of us were actually listening to the teacher, while most students were either reading their own book or playing with their cell phone. One student told me, he was actually interested in watching some documentary or doing some online reading of South American history, but with the mandatory history that forced him to cover way more than he wanted, he suddenly lost interest in carrying out his original plan.
In conclusion, it is more disadvantageous to require all university students to take history courses.

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.
