Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is easier for more people now than in the past to get an education.
文章1 Never does the topic referring to education fail to arouse the attention of public, with the increasing awarene of the importance of education as well as the growing amount of educational resources.I maintain that people are now easier to become educated than in the past.
First of all, educational level of a country is considered as a vital factor to a country's international competitivene.More and more countries are willing to give money to educational institution.Government iues fund to universities or colleges to make sure that almost every student are able to afford the tuition and get education.Government also provides teachers with excellent conditions in order to attract more scholars to engage in educational field.Government also equips universities or colleges with high quality facilities to encourage teachers and students to get involved in all kinds of researches.Therefore, with the help of government, education has become easier for most people.
What’s more, various open claes and learning materials are available on the internet so that people can learn whenever or wherever they want.They need not to go to school to get education.As a university student, I can benefit a lot from the shared online educational materials.For example, I am able to have acce to the claes that are offered in Harvard University, Stanford University and other famous universities all over the world.I really enjoy the convenience that internet has brought to us.Therefore, I believe that people have more opportunities to get education with the help of internet.
Last but not least, the awarene of education has increased dramatically in modern society, and the reasons may be that a strong educational background is beneficial to all of us.Under a heavy influence of global unemployment crisis, most people find that it is hard to find a job.However, a person with master degree may poe more chances to get an ideal job.In a word, the preure of living in modern society also serves as an important motivation that stimulates people to become educated.
All in all, with the help of government and the wide spread of internet as well as increasing awarene of education, it is surly easier for people to become educated than in the past.
文章2 The twentieth and twenty-first centuries have seen/witneed the development and advancement of many fields and areas of society.Education is an area that has developed tremendously in the past hundred years.The rise of the middle cla, the standardization of education, and the opening of many more schools has made it poible for more people now than in the past to get an education.
In China specifically, education reform began with the opening up and reform period of the 1980’s.During this time China also opened up its economy and changed from a state run economy to a market economy.A market economy in China has made it poible for the development of the middle cla.Historically throughout the world, education belonged to the social elites.People from the lower cla, which always outnumbered the upper cla, did not have the money or resources to become educated.The middle cla is a group of people who are not necearily the elites of society, but have the money to pay for education.Since the 1980’s, the middle cla has been rapidly growing, increasing ten-fold 十倍the number of children who have the opportunities to get an education.
With the rise of the middle cla, also comes an increase in preure on the government.倒装Since more people can afford education, more preure is put on the government to provide teachers and schools for the children of the middle cla.The government is then spurred into action to increase funding and resources for education nationwide.This has then prompted the opening of schools in many areas beyond the major cities and the training of many new teachers.More teachers and more schools mean that more people will be educated.
The government’s attention on education has helped with the standardization of education in China.This standardization has created nationwide tests that have made it so that every student, no matter his or her background or hometown, has the opportunity to attend high school and apply for college.Not only do more students have the opportunity to attend school, but they also have the opportunity to continue their education further than previous generations.
The rise of the middle cla, the increased involvement of the government, and the standardization of education has made it so that more people, now than ever, have the opportunity to become educated.
范文
It has been argued that despite the continued advancement of science and technology, our lives have changed in a way that is more tremendous than ever.I, however I disagree.
First, environmental problems are still on the waiting list.Technology-dominated industrialization has generated such problems as global warming, acid rain and urban smog, which has given rise to a series of adverse effects-climate change, death of aquatic life and respiratory diseases.Although quality of life has improved, there are still many things that could be improved in China, like safety and living conditions.If the most significant transformation in living standards has taken place, how is it poible that ecocide is still a real and ever-present danger? Second, world peace still hangs by a thread.Take the Iraq War for example.It broke out eight years ago and since then Iraqis have been living in hell.Their homes are torched and destroyed and their families have been torn apart.It is certain that they have not received all the benefits of advanced technology.Superpowers are busy with the nuclear experiments, but the highly technological work brings anything but world peace.If the most significant transformation in living standard has taken place, how is it poible that some on this planet are still in great agony?
Lastly, the pace of life is increasingly faster and shows no sign of slowing down.Undoubtedly, development in IT industries and communication devices has enabled people to enjoy more convenient lives.However, it is also the seemingly almighty technologies that have put people in suffering.Wherever you go, cell phones make it poible for your bo to spot you and give you more work, whether you like it or not.Computers, which give companies the ability to teleconference and conduct online interviews, have turned our homes into a mere extension of our offices.If the most significant transformation in living standards has taken place, how is it poible that people now are still suffering from deprived sleep, unbalanced diet and strained family relations?
All in all, science and technology have been and will continue to develop, but the fundamental transformation of our lives has not yet taken place.(363 words)
