Personally, I think students' study should be utilitarian, because the main goal of students is to find a good job, make money and succeed. In this case, reading is to acquire vocational skills, improve competitiveness and have a better chance of success in the workplace.
However, others believe that students should not only study for utility, but should pursue more knowledge and understanding. In this case, reading is not only to acquire professional skills, but also to cultivate their hobbies, improve their thinking ability and creativity, and expand their knowledge and understanding of the world. Different people may have different opinions.
