專四范文:
University Education Should Be Available for All
每個人都應接受高等教育
Many people propose the idea that higher education should be available to only qualified students-students with certain aptitudes, who have achieved an excellent academic performance. However, I beg to differ for the following reasons.
許多人建議,只有合格的學生(有某種能力的學生)才能接受高等教育,這些學生學習成績優異。然而,我想通過下面的原因闡釋我的不同觀點。
To begin with, the general level of education nationwide has always been employed as a criterion to gauge how advanced or developed a society is. In an ideal egalitarian society, everyone should be able to receive higher education unless he willingly forgoes that option. In other words, education should not be viewed as a privilege enjoyed only by people who are endowed with certain talents. Furthermore, it would be tremendously beneficial to any society if the general public rather than the fortunate few can enjoy higher education. A wide range of social issues can be effectively remedied by a high-quality education which imparts crucial moral principles. In addition, a great amount of economic value can be generated if higher education is available to more people. Yet, I also concede that it may not be practical or realistic to provide higher education to everyone owing to limited financial as well as human resources. Not even the most affluent nation in the world can fulfill that objective at this stage.
首先,在全國范圍內,受教育的一般水平經常被作為衡量社會進步和發展的程度的標準。在一個理想的平等主義社會,每個人都應受到高等教育,除非本人自愿放棄這種權利。換言之,教育不能被看作是僅供那些有某種天賦的人享有的特權。而且,如果大多數人而不是少數幸運的人接受高等教育的話,對任何社會都會大有裨益。大范圍的社會問題將會通過高素質教育來有效彌補,因為高素質教育教會了學生重要的道德準則。此外,如果更多的人能夠接受高等教育,就能產生大量的經濟價值。然而,我也承認,由于財政和人力資源的有限性,每個人都接受高等教育是不切實際的,是不現實的。即使是世界上最富裕的國家在這個階段也不能實現這一目標。
In the final analysis, I believe that the more people who can receive higher education, the better off a society will be. (225 words).
最后,我相信接受高等教育的人越多,社會就將越富裕。(225字)
