Tips for Choosing a College Major
There's no standard rule for how to choose a college major but there are some ways to narrow it down. If you're struggling to settle on a course of study, here are some tips for how to pick a major you'll be excited about.
Start with your interests. Brainstorming can be a helpful way to choose a college major. Make a list of anything and everything you're passionate about.
Lead-in
Take stock of your abilities. Next, make a second list of your skills. Then compare that list to your list of interests to see where they overlap.
Consider your career interests. As a child, you were probably asked a million times what you wanted to be when you grew up.
Get insight from other college grads. Another helpful tip for how to pick a major is talking to people who have already made the decision.
Research the long-term outlook. You may also want to compare starting salaries for various careers to see which majors offer
the highest pay.
Look at the pictures below. Discuss in pairs which university major each picture might show.
Bio-medical engineering ______ Computer game design ______
Cybersecurity ______ Data science ______
Public health ______ Robotics ______
Do you know these university majors
Genetic engineering (基因工程)
Renewable energy management (可再生能源管理)
Emerging media studies (新兴媒体研究)

______ that they’re really fascinating subjects if you’re good at computer programming. But I’m hopeless at programming!
__________ that there’s no point choosing a subject that you like but you’re not very good at.
My parents said
According to the school’s careers advisor
I read
I was told
When we speak, we often refer to someone else's opinion or what we have heard, read, or been told. When expressing this in speech, we use phrases such as I heard/ read that …, according to ..., I was told that ..., etc.
Identify references
Listen again and answer the questions below.
1 What did Liu Ming say about cybersecurity and data science
2 What did Susan say she was told
3 What did Olivia say they need to do to get into good universities
They’re really fascinating subjects if you’re good at computer programming.
There’s no point in choosing a subject that you like but you’re not very good at.
They need to start studying even harder.
Discuss these questions.
1 Do you agree with Olivia's parents when they say that a person's career might depend on what university they get into Why or why not
It depends upon the career. For a few highly specialised careers, getting into the right university is key. For many other careers, it does not matter which university you have been to, or even really what you have studied at university.
2 Do you agree that there is no point studying something that you like but you are not very good at Give your reasons.
Yes, because it serves no purpose. I might like listening to the piano and dream of being a concert pianist, but if I lack the talent, what is the point
