Knowledge and Diploma
It is generally believed that a high diploma guarantees a promising future. Some people identify high diplomas with profound knowledge and exceptional competence. Companies also tend to emphasize the academic achievement of a job candidate. Like it or not, there does exist a social reality – the higher diplomas one gets, the more popular he becomes.
On the contrary, other people claim that a high diploma doesn’t automatically translate into knowledge. A diploma, in their eyes, is only the acknowledgment of one’s educational experience rather than a guarantee of one’s ability. Therefore, we can never measure the depth of one’s knowledge by the grade of one’s diploma. Besides, many knowledgeable people don’t have a high diploma. Take Bill Gates for example. His dropping out of college cannot deny the fact that he is one of the world’s most learned men.
So I must say no one should ever equate a diploma with knowledge, because a diploma is nothing but a proof of a short-term study while genuine knowledge needs one’s lifelong devotion.
◇第一段思路點評：先陳述人們對高文憑高能力的看法，再點出這是一種社會現實。
◇語言點提示：
job candidate求職者、應聘者
◇第二段思路點評：詳細論述文憑并不等于能力。
◇語言點提示：
Acknowledgment承認、致謝、感謝、答謝
◇第三段思路點評：使用一個長句闡述了你對文憑與知識辯證關系的認識。
◇語言點提示：
（1）equate a diploma with knowledge 把文憑與知識劃等號
（2）nothing but a proof of a short-term study只是短期學習的證明
