出国的利弊

No one could avoid the tremendous influence of going oversea, more or less. And it is naturally that this topic has arisen a heated discussion now and then. Some a certain

expert claimed that it is dangerous for the youth to take the task. Personally, both sides of the issue ought to take into consideration.

To begin with, in educational aspect, it is important for the youth to improve themselves with the great help of the first-rate educational system outside. Besides, they would also benefit from the sounded language atmosphere in the alien countries. However, the study reveals that more than 70% of the oversea students in the U.K. encountered with the serious language barriers in the first half year, which may lead to misunderstanding and other issues.

Furthermore, in economical aspect, a reputable university‟s diploma is a must for an ideal profession, which is equivalent to a sufficient wage; in addition, it brings about qualified social welfare as insurance for the rest of your life. In spite of this, the expensive and unreasonable tuition fee would keep countless students away from the secondary

education who live in undeveloped areas. And it is impossible for them to participate in the part-time jobs, for this would disturb their routines sharply.

To be concluded, in cultural aspect, the multi-cultural society enables people to enlarge their horizon day by day. Naturally, it would boost the international links among countries. Then one will have a fully awareness of the globalization. Nevertheless, not every student or individual can bear the cultural shock when they are aboard. In terms of that, the discrimination gives rise to the some psychological issue at the same time such as loneliness and homesickness.

All in all, my point of view on this issue is manifest. And going oversea has more advantages than disadvantages for sure.

Nowadays sending children to boarding school is becoming increasingly popular. What is the reason?

Do you think it is a positive development?

典型的混合类题目，我处理成了五段式，body1先回答引发的原因（report）, body2 body3 一段说positive，一段说negative（argumentation） 开头段处理成考官式的开头。

Body3 在说boarding school的坏处时，因为时间关系，写的非常简短，在一定程度上会影响我在TR项的得分。 结尾处有点仓促。 范文一

With the rapid development of economy, parents are becoming rather busy with their work, which means limited time cannot be shared much by their children. As a result, sending youngsters to boarding school is a relatively good way to make a balance between work and family.

The reason for this new trend may involve the stiff competition and the great pressure in most big cities of my country, which means parents are forced to pay more attention to their work, in order to survive, rather than their family life, leading to a lack of parenting.

Consequently, the boarding school makes it easier for these urbanites to cope with their jobs efficiently. By contrast, without sending children to the boarding school, the efficiency of work tend to be affected.

Considering the merits of the boarding school, it is a positive development to a certain extent. To start with, young students living in the school might be cultivated much better. To illustrate, the discipline regulated by the schooling is very strict, compared with living at home. Moreover, staying alone without the attendance from families makes it possible to develop the adaptability of youths. Obviously, they are forced to become accustomed to the school lives and have to learn the basic living skills, like washing clothes. However, living apart from families may have a negative influence on the family

relationship, because children are segregated from their parents. Indeed, parents don‟t have much chance to communicate with their children, resulting in the increasingly enlarged generation gap.

To sum up, I believe that sending students to boarding school is a positive progress which has been made as a good measure to ease the pressure of parents. However, it also creates the danger of poor family relationship. 范文二：

Those who study at a boarding school or go overseas for educational purposes have

appeared to account for a growing proportion of students in many countries. There are a number of motivators behind parents‟ decisions to send students to boarding schools or foreign countries. These motivators might be reasonable, but this trend should not be welcomed.

Today, parents are interested in putting their children in an institution remote from the neighbourhood, so as to protect their children from the risk of drug use, joining gangs and teen sex. Under the supervision of staff in school, children are required and expected to discipline themselves and concentrate on their schoolwork. In addition, parents are motivated by the idea that their children might improve their abilities to cope with daily problems independently in a boarding school, where they cannot turn to parents for help, even in handling seemingly trivial tasks, such as laundry. Such challenges prepare them well for adulthood, in which they are overwhelmed with various problems.

Parents‟ initiatives should be appreciated, but it turns out that boarding schools do not offer an answer to their worries. Children might not have those behaviour problems

commonly found among those from day schools, but the cost of this benefit is children‟s zero social life. Many students, especially those in early teens, suffer homesickness and depression because of their protracted family detachment. These problems can be even more devastating among those who have to stay overseas all year long. The mundane campus life might nurture the misconception of what the real world is like among students. They might graduate from schools with confusion when they experience problems in making an adjustment from school to society.

Even a shallow review of the problems associated with boarding schools or overseas study can propel us to reassess these two brand-new preferences. Although the boarding school acts as a vacuum and cuts students‟ potential exposure to social evils, it might meanwhile compromise students‟ social skills and make them feeble in adults‟ world.

Media

The media plays a valuable role in keeping us informed and entertained. However, many people believe it has too much power and freedom.” Discuss your views on this, giving examples and presenting a balanced argument both in favor of, and against, the power and freedom of the media.

Barely a hundred years ago, if we wanted to stay informed about what was going on in the world, we had to rely on word of mouth or, at best, newspapers. But because

communication technology was very basic, the news we received was often days or weeks old.

We still have newspapers, of course, but they have changed almost beyond recognition. Whether we choose to read the broadsheets, with their quality coverage of news ad other current affairs by top reporters and articles by acclaimed journalists, or if we prefer the popular tabloids, with their lively gossip and colorful stories, we are exposed to a wealth of information barely conceivable at the beginning of the last century.

We also have television and radio. News broadcasts let us know about world events practically as they happen, while sitcoms, chat shows ad documentaries, etc. keep us entertained and informed. And there is also the internet, where we can access information from millions of websites around the world which we can then download onto our own computers.

However, these forms of information and entertainment (or “infotainment” as they are sometimes collectively called) have their negative side. Famous personalities frequently accuse the gutter press (and sometimes even respectable papers) of invasion of privacy by the paparazzi who are determined to get a story at any cost. Newspapers are often accused of libel by angry politicians who dislike reading lies about themselves, and there are frequent accusations of checkbook journalism with unscrupulous reporters paying people to create stories for their newspapers or television programs. Of course, it is not just the papers which are to blame. Sex and violence are increasing on the television. Undesirable people fill the internet with equally undesirable material which can be

accessed by anyone with a home computer. And the fear of information overload prevents many from logging on to the Internet.

Food can be produced more cheaply due to the development of machinery and biological technology. To what extent do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

With the development of machinery and biological technology, food such as crops,

vegetables, fruit and meat can be produced more cheaply. On the one hand, consumers can enjoy low food price. On the other hand, foods are no longer tasty and safe as before. Some of the methods used have harmful effects on people‟s life and environment. As I see this, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

First, low cost in food production is good news for most people, especially for those who suffer from starvation. The use of machinery makes food production more efficient and at the same time saves labor cost, which is undoubtedly beneficial. However, the use of

some biological technology has led to some negative effects that will harm people‟s health. First, scientists modified certain genes to make fruit bigger and vegetables stronger to resist pests or endure bad weather conditions. The fruit become more appealing, but we never know the possible harm in the future. That is why genetically-modified food is not very popular these days.

Secondly, to make crops, vegetables and fruit grow faster, chemical fertilizer is often used in production. To kill pests, pesticide is also use to ensure more output. Our food is heavily polluted. Not cleaning carefully, people will take certain doses of poisonous chemicals in every meal, which is a great health hazard. Moreover, food is not as tasty as before because of the unnatural growing process.

As for meat, chickens, pigs are also not raised naturally. Instead, they are caged and crammed with food in a short time to make them grow faster. In some food factory, these animals are even fed with hormones. Meats have become cheap because of this

shortened production period, but they are no longer tasty and may have lost the nutrition. 国际救援

Poverty reduction is again a hot topic worldwide when the economic crisis hits the poorest counties hardest. While more attention drawn to this issue, some problems emerge with people‟s opinions divided. Many people believe countries have a moral obligation to help each other, whilst others argue that aid money is, more often than not, misspent by the recipients, so foreign aids, as a well-intended mechanism, simply failed and need to be scrapped.

As a more widely shared knowledge than ever, poverty in the third world is an inevitable cause of all the chaos afflicting the world, from crimes, regional confrontations to terrorism, even pandemics. On this more and more globalized world, a nation could no longer be exempt from the unstableness and misery suffered by its neighbouring countries. Even the cry from the faraway end of the globe will be brought to your ears through all the links and ties. It is, therefore, a consensus among both the rich and the poor that only when poverty is eliminated once and for all, can peace and prosperity be attained and sustained. To this common end, the only possible way is to engage rich countries in helping poor ones generously and unconditionally.

Sure enough, there are some high-profile scandals of fund misuse. It‟s also true foreign aid did foster corruption and irresponsible policymaking in some countries. Yet, this should not serve as the excuse of withdrawing these most needed aids which are supposed to and also proved to save lives and deliver hopes. A loose governance or corruptive government cannot cancel off the desperate needs of its people. On the other hand, there are some effective measures can be taken to avoid, at least to some extent, such undesirable situations, for instance, strengthening the supervision of fund

disbursement, delivering aids through the network of non-governmental organizations, or helping to promote recipient counties‟ governance and management.

In other words, the abuses involved with foreign aids can be checked through other available means rather than just abandoning the whole package altogether. As I

mentioned above, there is hardly any way more effective than international aids in fighting world hunger and its tragic consequences. On no accounts would we give up on our shared dream of creating a planet free from tears and bleeding. So let‟s work together to hold the rich countries accountable in this tough battle. 食品安全

Some people think the appearance of a building is more important than its function. To what extent do you agree?

Both appearance and function of a building have to be considered when designing it. However, compared with function, some claim that appearance is more important. I am totally against this idea. For me, function is more essential than appearance.

First, the purpose of constructing any building is to give it some sort of function, whether it is an office building, a house, an apartment building or stadium. If we pay too much attention to the appearance, we have to sacrifice a proportion of its function given the fixed cost. For example, if we want to give the building a grand and gorgeous

façade, we have to spend less on the interior or other parts. Moreover, even if money is not a problem, it is a waste of tax-payers‟ money. We want to use these buildings instead of just watching them every day.

Second, distinct designs of buildings need special techniques to achieve. Sometimes, it comes at the expense of safety. I have seen buildings which look like two dragons

interweaved in Beijing. Most people do not seem to be interested in the appearance but worried about its safety. Besides, with the increasing awareness of environmental

protection, people often disapprove of building that has costly and fancy but impractical looking especially buildings with huge glasses on exterior walls, which gives buildings a shiny appearance, on the other hand results in light pollution in the area. Therefore, appearance should not be the top priority.

Third, for some famous architects, or people who do not need to use the buildings they see, appearance does come first. A fancy-looking and unique building will bring them sense of accomplishment and good vision effects. They do not need to care about the function very much. But to people who have to stay in the building every day will believe ordinary looking will be enough, whether the rooms are spacious, whether each inch of space is reasonably used, whether each part is easily identify is of their top concern. In summary, we have to admit people do like buildings that have aesthetic appeal, but it should not come at the cost of safety, the damage of the environment, the appropriate functions and waste of tax-payer‟s money. We wish designers could strike a balance between function and appearance. 衣着与外表

Many young people today are too worried about the way they look and this causes them problems.

Do you agree or disagree?

What is the situation in your country?

From Levis to Louis Vuitton, amazingly how much young people have spent on taking care of their appearance.

Besides the scary price tag, their increasing attention on how they look indeed worried some, if not all, parents.

This essay is going to describe the situation in my country and furthermore shed some personal light on such issue.

It might be fair to say that many youngsters in my country are overwhelmingly concerned about their appearance.

They argue that in an era of individuality, they have the right to identify themselves through their appearance.

Since first impression is critical in promoting oneself, therefore, a few bucks more on fashion and fad are worthwhile as long as it delivers a unique impression to others.

One good example of this is the fact that many teenagers are strongly repelling against wearing uniforms at school.

To them, this is suffocating their individuality and uniqueness.

No sensible person will deny the pinch brought by such phenomenon.

Besides financial concern, distraction from work or study might be people's biggest fear. Due to the fact that some young people are willing to sacrifice tremendous amount of time on taking care of their appearance, thus little time might there be left for their study or work and consequently their performance in study or at work could not be secured.

One rationale behind requiring uniform at schools is to partially avoid such disaster.

By doing so, people hope students can shift more concentration from appearance to attendance.

In spite of the concerns raised by many as mentioned above, some, especially the younger generation, also voiced out their opinion.

They believe the attention on appearance can benefits the development of their social skills.

With appearance becoming common topic during daily conversation, not discussing it might seclude one from social communication among peers.

If they well attend their appearance, it can not only provide them an ice-breaking topic, but enhance their self-confidence as well.

If not, however, they might feel isolated from the mainstream.

To sum up, both those who are for and against attention on appearance seem to have their grounds.

Personally, I dare not deny young people's concern about their appearance as a whole. Through adopting and adapting such attention, it might be able to bring us more pleasure rather than pressure. 广告提高销售量

★Today, the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 雅思考官写的7.5分范文分析：（剑桥6）

①Nowadays, there are lots of advertisements on television or on the streets. Some people think that advertising boosts the sales of goods and it encourages people to buy things unnecessarily. These arguments may be true. In my country, many advertising companies produce advertisements with famous and popular actors or singers. People, especially youngsters, buy goods that their favorite singer advertise, although they do not really need the products

②Also, on the television screen, a product may look gorgeous and good quality. As a result of it, people often buy goods without consideration. Consumers may not actually need it but they buy goods impulsively soon after they watch the advertising campaign, the other people may be affected by the trend, even if the product is not of the real needs of the society.

③On the other hand, there are various aspects against these arguments. Moreover, it is people‟s choice to make a decision to buy goods. Advertisements may be not a cause of customers‟ buying habits. Individual have their spending habits. If they have got enough disposable (可支配的)income, then the right to make a decision is given to them. No on actually can judge whether the goods sold are the real needs of the society or not. In

addition, as there should be a limited amount of disposable income consumers are able to spend, people try to allocate their budgets. They cannot be simply swayed by those ads. ④Simply put, as customers have their own strong opinions and standard of good quality goods. It is better to leave them to make their own decision in buying goods. It is fairly difficult to say everyone is swayed by advertising and buy goods impulsively. However, in sensitive area of business such as toy industries, it may be necessary to band advertising to those children as children have not got enough ability to control themselves or to know what they need. 高科技、机器人、人类

Intelligent machines such as robots are widely applied to take the place of human beings. Please discuss the advantages and disadvantages.

The technology of intelligent machines improves amazingly with the help of artificial intelligence. Robots, known as steel-collar workers, are widely employed in different aspects, such as marine research, space exploration and some modern assembly lines. Robots bring about advantages undoubtedly, and meanwhile, they are not as versatile as expected. (49 words)

The advantages of robots are innumerable. The employment of robots on assembly lines saves a lot of labor forces. Robots are widely used in developed countries. In Japan, one out of ten thousand workers are robots, which not only improve the working efficiency, but also enhance accuracy. That is the reason why robots are so popular in automobile industry and electronic production line. (63 words)

Another merit is that robots can take the place of human beings and work in the

dangerous environment or the places not accessible for us. Human beings have extended their cognition to the outer space, where there are considerable unpredictable dangers. Robots can work in any kind of situation, no matter how awful the environment is. In

hospital, robots work as professional doctors doing operation on the patients. Furthermore, robots can work around the clock, never knowing what tiredness is. (80 words)

However, the disadvantages of robots are undeniable. Firstly, all the robots and other intelligent machines are designed by human beings. What robots do is follow the

instruction and pre-set programming by human beings. If there is something wrong with the electric circuit or programs, robots will become good-for-nothing machines. Besides, robots cannot work creatively when confronted with complicated situation. (59 words) In short, robots are subsidiary to human beings. However competent they are in various kinds of field, robots will never take the place of human beings and play a decisive role in our work and life. (36 words) (287 words totally) 运动员高薪

Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words. 范文：

As a result of constantmedia attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagantlifestyles with huge houses and cars.

Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determinedby considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of „fairness‟ is not the issue.

Those who feel that sports stars‟ salaries are justified might argue that the numbers of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognitionof the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of these factors may justify the huge earnings.

Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicatesthat our society places more value on sport than on more essentialprofessions and achievements. 学生就业难

广告利弊（influence）

题目：Customers are faced with increasing amounts of advertising due to the

competitionamong companies. To what extent do you think consumers are influenced by advertisements? And what measures can be taken to protect their interests? 作文：

Recently, I found on the internet that advertisements are regarded as another term of pollution to the public. However, hardly could anyone imagine the world it as it certainly

brings huge amount of merits. As far as I could tell, the amount of pros that advertising has brought to people has far exceeded its cons.

In the first instance, advertising is the sales gimmick/ ˈgɪmɪk; ˋɡɪmɪk/（花招） to Oligopolies. In such sort of market, firms compete with each other to gain the market shares. However, they will be reluctant to increase or lower their price because the information is interdependent and consumers have got tones of other substitutes. Therefore, the only way to promote their sales will be through advertising. Some

consumers, on the other hands, do find such information useful while choosing what to buy. There is a common sense in it: hardly could an inefficient and stagnant ˈstægnənt; ˋstæɡnənt/ （不景气）firm invest a great deal of money on investment. In addition to that, big firms are able to lay the cornerstone（墙角石） to provide goods and services with better quality, which might benefit the consumers.

Nevertheless, some argue that people will be easily swayed（动摇） by advertisement featuring with beautiful movie stars and make irrational / ɪˈræʃənl; ɪˋræʃənl/（荒谬的） decisions or even buy goods on impulse especially when talking about youngsters with less consciousness and experience. This is still a rather minor problem. We can tackle / ˈtækl; ˋtækl/ （对付）this by taking some measurements. For example, to educate young people not buying goods they don‟t need and maybe set a regulation of age limits on purchasing certain goods like cosmetics and high-tech products.

To conclude, advertisements in my opinion will hardly influence people‟s purchasing

patterns. Instead, some well-made advertisements can approve the aesthetical capability of the viewers. Although youngsters are worried in this advertising explosion century, education and recognition can prevent them from being coned to a great extent. 住房问题

Nowadays people in urban areas are confronted with severe housing problems such as shortages of spaces and the inferior quality of buildings. These problems will no doubt lead to moral or economical crimes and increase the insecurity of citizens. As to whether only the government should take on the responsibilities to cope with the problems there arises a controversial discussion that draws the public‟s great concern.

Advocates hold the opinion that it is only the government‟s obligation to deal with housing problems. For one thing, only the government has the ability to call for experts in relative fields to get together and present their ideas on this issue. The government can also provide enough funds and equipments when necessary during the process of problem solving. For another, one of the government‟s unique functions is legislation. The

government can standardize behaviors in constructing and purchasing so that the serious situation will be controlled to some extent. Besides, it is generally believed that policies of

housing made out by government are authorized and convincing. Therefore they are much easier to be implemented.

Opponents, however, argue that the government shouldn‟t be the only one to work out housing problems. To start with, government officers have to deal with problems in all aspects of the development of local area every day. If the government is required to concentrate on solving housing problems, its workload will be increased and many other problems cannot be solved effectively. Additionally, other professional institutions like real estate companies may have more professional and practical views on this issue. It is essential to make full use of their functions. Moreover, solving problems together will

increase the awareness of social responsibility and sense of belonging among the citizens. Unity is an extremely important factor for the development of the whole society.

Personally, I side with the latter because a satisfied situation of housing is closely related to the benefits of individuals. Thus our joint effort is urgently needed. 空运水果

Air transport is increasingly used to export types of fruits and vegetables to countries where those plants can’t grow or out of season. Some say it is a good thing, but others consider this use of air transport can’t be justified. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Air transport is commonly used to move fruits and vegetables to places where those farm products can‟t grow or are out of season. The benefits of such business are obvious, but air transport also creates a number of problems.

Transport of fruits and vegetables by air enables consumers to enjoy a wider variety of fresh and in-season farm products from all over the world. Not only is air transport good for consumers, it is also a blessing for farmers because the market is no longer restricted by regions. As a result, air transport increases the sale volume by selling more products in more places.

Moreover, air transport of food has now become a major resource of incomes for air companies. In the past, air companies‟ business mainly came from serving passengers. However, facing an increasingly tough market, air companies need to expand their share of market to serve a wider range of customers in order to stay in the game and make a profit. With a booming economy and more money to spend, people create a great potential for food transport business and good margin for air companies.

In spite of such benefits, air transport is not free of problems. One major issue is high cost. Air transport is probably the most expensive way of transport. Higher costs entail high prices, which in turn deprive people with less money the opportunities to enjoy such

privileges. So air transported food is now for the rich, a fact that is unfair for poor people. In addition, it is not the best option to solve problems by transporting food from outside for places where certain kinds of fruits does not grow. The most optimal way, it seems to me, is that we should change the environment required by such plants using scientific and

biological methods such as creating suitable soil and temperature. Such solutions will be proven to be ultimately cost-effective and fundamental.

More importantly, research indicates that air transport pollutes the environment. For

example, Britain transports half its food by air. However one kilo New Zealand fruit emits five kilo warm house gas on its way to destination. Therefore, some environmental groups and books advocate people to distinguish local fruit and air-transported fruit in an effort to cut the pollution from food consumption.

In conclusion, air transport has many benefits for consumers and farmers, but it also has problems such as high cost and pollution. More effective and environmental friendly solution should be found to address such problems. 汽油涨价

Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve traffic and pollution. What extend do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think more effective? Bad traffic and increasing pollution are thorny issues challenging every major city in the globe. To combat such problems, government encourages companies to mark up gas price in an effort to decrease car use and cut down waste gas. However it may temporarily alleviate the problem, but is doubtfully the optimal solution.

First of all, consumers and economy would be victimized by such measures. The number of cars in a country directly depends on the proportion of the population affluent enough to own cars. As a result, raises in gas price could invoke hard feelings among this segment of people but would not drastically change their behavior in using cars. Even if the number of cars on road is reduced due to higher gas cost, this is not the best way to solve traffic problems. Such policy would hurt the auto industry, place higher costs on current and prospect car owners, and undermine the economy of a nation. In the long run, the final way out could be the construction of better roads and more effective use of available transport facilities.

Secondly, there is evidence that waste gas from cars is not the leading cause of air pollution. The culprit may be the discharge of polluting substances into the atmosphere due to the rapidly growing manufacturing industry. As a result, reduction of the number of cars would not return us a blue sky and fresh air. We could better handle this problem if we could increase control over industrial waste discharge and adopt more environmental friendly materials and production equipment.

Finally, other measures like the application of cheaper and cleaner energy resources could also be a better solution. For example, we now have the ability to make cell-powered or even solar-powered cars. Such energy is completely clean and plentiful. However we still have a very long way to go to turn such technologically possible into affordable and practical products.

To conclude, it is not the best way to control traffic and pollution by increasing gas price because such action will hurt consumers and economy without achieving what it is aimed for. Measures such as construction of better transport facilities and development of new energy resources could be more effective solutions. 学费

It is right that college graduates earn higher salaries than the less well-educated in the community. But they should also pay the full cost of their study. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Some conclude that college students should bear total expenses for their higher learning on the generalization that college graduates usually receive higher salaries for similar jobs than those without a college degree. We cannot deny that higher level of education, indeed, does associate with better income. Still, built on such fact alone, the conclusion remains questionable.

The whole argument in question rests on an assumption that it is always the case that people with higher education make more money than those less well-educated. But salary or income is, in most cases, based on contributions made by employees to companies or organizations in which they work for. Statistics in the labor market indicate that people with professional training tend to find jobs easier than college graduates do and that blue-collar workers who do not hold college degrees are becoming the hotties in the labor market. Employers prefer to hire and pay more to highly skilled and specially trained people rather than fresh college graduates. In the auto industry, for instance, skilled technicians make two or three times more than their college educated counterparts who make the average salaries in other companies. And it is widely accepted that people’s income is determined more by talent, hard work, and willingness to take risks than solely by certain qualifications such as college education. Otherwise, the unemployment rate of college graduates would not be increasing every year and the rule of supply and demand will lose much of power in controlling the labor market. Admittedly in some knowledge extensive field such as research, teaching, and practice of law the labor force are primarily consists of highly educated professionals. But such people make up only a fraction of the labor market and are thus unrepresentative of the whole employment in general.

Considering the goal of education, we find that it is even more problematic for the country to throw all the responsibility of financing college education to college students. The goal of higher education of a nation is to improve and strengthen the general level of intellectual and professional capacity of its labor force, thereby increasing the competency of the nation in the global economy. As tax payers, parents all contributes to the education system and country in various ways. It is only reasonable and necessary that the country gives some forms of financially assistance to students to ease the burden of rising education costs. Such help should go not only to students from needy or impoverished families but also to outstanding students from affluent backgrounds. Doing so can significantly boost the motivation of children from millions of families to engage in higher level of study. It is understandable that the general quality of people in a country will improve and its economy will benefit both now and in years to follow.

If the burden of supporting children’s higher education is dumped on parents and students, thousands of brilliant students will be deprived of chances to pursue their academic inspiration. Among those who suffer would definitely be future great scientists, business

managers, artists and statesmen. The loss will be disastrous and irreversible.

In conclusion, the idea that students should also pay the full cost of their study is wrong and harmful because it is wrong to assume that higher education necessarily equalize high income. Moreover, it is in the best interest of a nation to take responsibility in financing college education so that the goal of higher education will be better met. 大学生工资高

Should grad student be paid higher than non-grads?

In our country, it is obvious now that the university graduates earn more money than non-graduates (a funny contrast in which It was opposite scenario when in 1970s china). I quite agree with those graduates who have paid a lot for their studies and expect to make more for either himself or his family. However, it is not so optimistically for those who hope to make it. The critical career competition makes them frustrated due to many factors involved.(79)

One of the utmost factors is they feel what they anticipate is not matching up with what they have found in reality. Many university graduates are not satisfied with what they get for what they have done. As a matter of fact, some of them expect so unrealistic that they immediately lose the credit to the workforce they belong to. On contrary, some of the non-graduate students who are more realistic in career hunting tend to get more satisfied job compared with graduates. Thus what really matters here in salary balance is how one can contribute to the organization rather than what background they hold.(105)

The tuition is really high in China. Many high quality students due to this have lost their academic pursuit. This is really shameful for a family or any government who initially should take the burden for whatever reason is supposed to be. Any responsible

government should inevitably take this burden and put more money in order to bring up better next generation for the nation.(65)
