University is no longer a fresh word to people nowadays.
Since the beginning of this century, more and more
youngsters choose to enter university after they have
completed the study in high schools rather than to join
the army or become an apprentice. Therefore, it is kind
of interesting to find out the reason behind.
First of all, students can only learn fundamental knowledge during high school while they are able to focus on
their own interested majors in universities. This period is
the key to knowledge accumulation, which will contribute a lot to the future of an individual. Moreover, university is no doubt the symbol of high education. It offers
more than pure knowledge. A degree from a university
gives people certain identity that makes them stand out
among their competitors. It can be seen from the fact that
most international companies will only hire those who
have at least a Bachelor's degree.
Sincere dreams might also be the reason for university or
college. For instance, in the 60s and 70s, people in China
experienced hard times. Many of them had to give up
advanced education and take up the burdens of life at
their early age. Now, as they became parents or even
grandparents, their dream for university education had
no doubt realized by their younger family members.
Those young people, as reported, often study very hard
in order to fulfill the expectations of two generations.
There is no doubt that university can be the turning point
of one's future, because higher education will provide
people with not only knowledge prepared for their careers, but also the fulfillment of their life goals. Meanwhile, the society has improved its strength to sponsor
higher education. Compared with the past, people now
attend universities also because they are able to secure
various scholarships and supports from different channels. A very good example is that many Chinese students
are now studying in the U. S. Their incentive for application should be attributed to not only to their own performance but also the comprehensive education frameworks in the U. S.
Broadly speaking, people who study in universities have
their hopes: to fulfill themselves. At the same time, our
society generously provides such an environment for
people to achieve such goals. Therefore, when we see
more and more fresh smiles on the campus of universities, let us just wish them a promising future.
Topic 1 Why go to university?
A university degree often helps a person achieve his goal
with more ease. However, do we attend university just in
pursuit of a degree? Does a university only provide us
nothing beneficial besides a paper-made diploma? As far
as I am concerned, we enjoy university education in the
following aspects:
Firstly, with the knowledge learned at a university, we
will have a deep understanding of our society. It is true
that genuine knowledge comes from practice, but it cannot be denied that genuine knowledge tells us how to
practice. A systematic study in a college or a university, of
course, enables us to realize how the society works and
how to cope with certain problems arising from it in a
more efficiently, and more skillful way.
Second, a university education usually makes it possible
that we get hold of a decent job. As a result of the accomplishment of a four-year study, it is not difficult for us
to find a good job in most cases. How can we imagine
that a graduate majoring in astronomy has to be a vendor
in the street! No doubt, he/she should sit in his/her laboratory, doing research on aircraft science before a computer. Obviously, a university education assures him/her a
decent job.
Last but not least, we can help others much better if we
put what we have learned at a university into practice. A
university education fortifies our values, enhance our
skills, and broaden our horizons. With those, we are
more capable of giving a hand to those who are in need
of help.
Knowledge is power. When achieving a degree at a university, we can get a better understanding of the society,
find a decent job in an easy way, and help others better.
All of those are due to the knowledge learned at a university
