Compared with those who spend entirely their time in the (on) campus, students who take evening classes could contact with more people, develop their communication skills and social behaviors during working hours. They know better how cruel and realistic the society is and that it is your power and capabilities that only speak. They understand and adapt better to the pressure of lifes difficulties which in universities could hardly be realized.Secondly, after experiencing real working life, these (those) who attend correspondence courses would know better what kind of knowledge and abilities they must master, which definitely help them in future advancement and career choices. Suppose youre a graduate from high school and become an assist of a car repairing workshop. Then youll have to know how the engine and different parts of the car works and how to deal with various crisises (emergent problems). Therefore, night schools education (evening classes) would enable you (插入 to) acquire more specialized knowledge which are fit to you. However, in universities, you have to learn a great many courses, some of which are comparatively useless and can even make you bewilded of future (bewildered to the future).Furthermore, as they have more time to manage for themselves, students drop higher education in universities could earn some money and gain earlier start in career. These will ease their families burdens and satisfy their desire for basic money needs. As a matter of fact, nowadays, more than a few American teens abandon university s education and try to become a worker like air-conditional repairer (air-conditioner repairman) who can earn as much as $ 30, 000 for the first year. Thus, their decisions benefit themselves and their families.Conclude (To conclude) from all the facts talked above, we can safely arrive at the summary that informal higher education is more efficient and serves better. It make (makes) you ahead of others in career development with more competitive skills, fit knowledge, pre cious experiences of social life and more leisure to earn some essential financial supports. As well one day indulge ourselves in the real soci (walk into the realistic society,) informal higher education serves better for our present and future developing. (development)Fruit & the Vitamin Medicine姓名 俞艾杉 辽宁省大连市第二十四中 学校 210班级 准考证号 0335With the world developing in (at) high speed, more and more young people take part in higher educated (education). Some of the (them) choose to go to universities, and the others joined evening classes and open universities or took correspondence courses. I think, if we put the formal university education as the fruits we eat and the informal higher education would be like the vitamin medicine. Both of them could give us what we need.Lets see two examples: The first one is my elder sister, who studyed (studied) very well and went into Beijing University with a high mark. Now, after the four-year university life, she was employed by a lawyer firm and makes a large sum of money every year.Another example is a girl who used to working in (work in) my fathers bar. She was a country girl, (插入 and) she worked hard but got little money, so under my fathers encouragement, she attended an evening class in spare time. The first two years was a hard time, because on one hand, she must to (去掉) learn knowledge in the evening when she was very tired after one days work; On the other hand, she had to make money to pay for the evening class. But then her way was wider and wider, and now she found a better job in a small company and can offer much more money to her poor family.In my opinion, even both the girl and my sister got a good job at last, but I still think that enter (attending) formal university is better. Because in universities we could make more friends, we could get more chances to communicate with the experienceness (experienced) professors, we could get more ways to receive information of our future jobs, and we could also send ourselves into the coulful (colorful) groups in the university so that we could have a happier higher educated life. But in the informal education, there could not be so much fun.Though I thought like this, but I have to say equally that both fruit and vitamin medicine can give us the vitamins we need, the only difference between them is that some people love fruits and the others may thought (think) having medicine is easier. So whatever you choose, the fruit or the medicine (the formal university education or the informal higher education), the most important is that you can get the knowledge you wanted, isnt it?Lets Go to Universities!姓名 张培培 山东省淄博市第十一中 学校 高二22班级 准考证号 0209Theres a general debate (插入 on) whether or not universities are the best place for young people to receive higher education. Some people think it right while others think the opposite is true. Theres probably some truth in both opinions.Some students dream to go (dream of going) to universities be- cause studying in universities does do good to them. Universities have super (outstanding) teachers and professors and most universities are equipped with excellent facilities. Also, by taking part in all kinds of activities organized in universities, students can widen their views (插入 and) increase their experience. In this case, many students are motivated to study harder and acquire more knowledge in middle schools in order to be admitted by the universities they dream of. Not only (插入 do) universities provide good studying place (circumstance), but also they (去掉) encourage students to study. However, there are also some disadvantages. For instance, some universities are not so good as expected, (插入 and) many students cant learn much to meet the need of society. Those who fail in their exams cant go to their desirable universities.However, the opportunity is offered by the open universities. Students can be equally educated by taking correspondence courses or going to evening class if they fail to go to universities. They can choose courses that cater for their interest and the need of the times freely. Although they are refused to go to universities, they can also benefit from the correspondence courses or evening classes. As the saying goes, “every coin has two sides”. Things always leave undesiabl (something undesirable). There are some evening classes whoes (whose) quality is not good. Its hard for people to receive sufficient knowledge.For me, as a student, I would like to go to universities. Once a time, I walked in the Peking University. I was really attracted by the swaggering confidence, the irrepressible spirit and the indomitable nerves that the students in it (去掉) have. I was lost in the studying atmosphere. Im really eager to go to university that I like. It is the goal that motivates me to study hard. I have done my best and will continue to do so. I believe it wont be long before I achieve my goal!Ibsen once said, “It a your suprem (supreme) duty to cast yourself into a useful emplement.” (implement) I set my mind to go to the university and Im determined to succeed.Lets go to universities for the universities advantages provided.Stop Your Superstition On Universities姓名 张益 中河北省石家庄市石家庄外国语 学校 高一（10）班班级 准考证号 0208Last decade saw the flood peak of students streaming into formal, venerable universities. It seems as if university is the only cradle for(插入 its) talented professers (professors) and well-known celebribties (celebrities). However, I myself never believe the theory holds water. On the contrary, I recommend correspondence courses as well as open universities to be the more preferable choices for modem teenagers.Surely, formal universities enjoy a much better reputation throughout the society, which may more or less be helpful for their students to get a well-paid job. But dont be deceived by the attracting illusion. University might be a good place to obtain knowledge, but knowledge seems to be too narrow in front of the definition of education. Not only those language point from the book, but also the specific skills on how to communicate with people, are what we need to become successful. But take a glance at the way students get “educated” in formal universities. They get up at an approximately same time, (插入 and) they go to assigned classroom and start facing dull books all day. They just have no time to get more sociable skills as well as definite, professional tecneques (techniques). Thats why oceans of university graduations are obliged to major some more practical skills again, for they are mostly jobless.However, attending correspondence courses or evening classes, is a perfect way to solve the problem. We can make full use of our spare time to do a part-time job and to get more “education” naturally from the vivid society. To say “I obtain knowledge, and I get the true essence of how to become a real marl. “ is not enough to de- scribe its efficiency and magic. We can undoubtedly renew our antiquated, inadequate “knowledge case” inside our brain by diligently study (studying) at night, and conscientiously taking a job and get- ring “extra-education” at daytime.Stop your superstition on universities, and make a more effective choice without hesitation. Only in this way can a perfect celerity both well-educated and sociable be shaped!Universities or Informal Education?姓名 刘钥铭 辽宁省本溪市高级中学 学校 高二十五班班级 准考证号 0125It is an undeniable fact that, nowadays, a controversial debate has (插入 been) risen as to whether universities or informal higher education is more essential for students, (which is more essential for students, universities or informal higher education). People vary in their opinions on this question.Those who are in favor of universities often provide the following evidence. First of all, universities are run by the government and seem to be more reliable, whereas informal higher education is short of serious disciplines. Moreover universities have the incomparable merits that with students living in their dormitories they provide (are provided) plenty of time to gain the knowledge they long for.Nevertheless, there are also people who set forth a totally opposite idea. They claim that there are various kinds of informal education ranging from correspondence courses to open universities and evening classes, from which students can choose freely according to their own needs and likes. Furthermore, students can get more spare time to step into other activities or continue their work during the daytime. While in universities, students have to stay inside all day. This, of course, will reject those workers who have an appetite for knowledge and want to further their study.From my perspective, I think the former groups idea is more favorable. Three key components account for my choice. First and foremost, with a longer history, universities provide students with more accurate knowledge and can equip them better for their future career. Whats more, during the four years of acdamic (academic) life, students can broaden their eyes, deepen their understanding, sharpen their mind and maintain specialized training. Last but not least, it is commonly accepted that universities are more experienced in education and have a better environment for students to develop themselves both mentally and physically.Taking all these factors into consideration, I confidentally (confidently) come to the conclusion that one should give priority to universifies. Only in this way can they arm themselves with more knowledge and perfect their personalities.University, a Better Choice姓名 卢亦岑 辽宁省沈阳市东北育才 学校 高一9班级 准考证号 0083Today, more and more students choose to go to universities after their (they) graduate from high school. The motive varies from individual to individual. Meanwhile, there are also a number of people argue that for juveniles, taking correspondence courses or going to evening classes and open universities in their spare time would be a better choice, since these students, who are new-comers of the society, can learn much more outside the classroom. To determine which is more desirable, we should look into further details.It is a simple yet universial (universal) law that for adolescents, study is a never-changed thing to do. Consequently, students may never take the pain to ponder: why I go to school? (插入 When) answering the question why they go to universities, they may say, “to learn more academic knowledges (knowledge), to made new friends, to look for a higher-paid (well-paid) job and so on.” Universities, nevertheless, have the ability to offer young peoples (people) who are of an age a large platform, which let them to meet, to compete, and to learn from each other. The impact that universities have had on our society in general, is undeniable. Lots of people when reminded (recalling) of the old days in university, would say, that four years are golden, since (for) it provided them lots of opportunities. Though painstaking and time-consuming in many peoples eye, the function that university as a refinery of the young is highly valued and of essence.On the contrary, evening classes and so on so force (去掉), would stand in a lower position for its lack of communications. Say, students come from a single (the same) city, not even a country. Unlike the exotic faces in a university campus (去掉), students of a (an) evening class are not at all diversified. In addition, it is no doubt that in a broad sense, no one can garantee (guarantee) that those student (students) will be under a condition of “learning” during the free time of a part time (part-time) class. Will all of them, our future elites, go to work or read books in libraries? Hardly. Gone are the days when knowledge is highly valued. It is a time now, when technology is accumulated by multiplying, and at the same time becomes more and more entertaining. Internet, TV, . all kinds of things will lead to a consequence that students concentration be distracted. As a result, the detriments of evening class will overweigh its benifits (benefits).When the issue comes to my current situation, I will definetly (definitely) choose go to universities without any hesitate (hesitation). However, part-time classes would be a better choice under only one circumstance. It only benefits people who have high self-control, who are virtually minority in quantity.姓名 耿侠英 山西省太原市外国语 学校 高601班级 准考证号0382There was a time when people believed in the simple truth that one couldnt have a bright future without a university-education degree. Have you ever been deeply convinced about this opinion? Have you ever tried to prove it? Is it true that the informal education is a kind of the worst choice?There is no doubt that being admitted to a key university is a good way to success. Being in our ideal universities, we can enjoy the various kinds of school lives and find (discover) ourselves while working in students communities. With joyness (joys) and happiness, we grow more mature and knowledgeable and get a harvest of precious experience. We let out all our intelligience (intelligence) in university and make friends with each other. Whats more, we receive a high level of education which is given by qualified and experienced professors. In a word, we make big improvements during the colorful and fruitful school lives. But at the same time, the formal university educations may lead to the unfairness between the general students. A great many students are forced to give up the chance to go to university for the lack of money. Considering this, we may ask ourselves ff it is the only way for every one to catch their dreams.With the development of the education, there exists (exist) many informal higher education schools like evening classes and open universities. We must notice that these social schools have indeed helped many students solve their problems in education. A part of people could take lessons (receive education) and go on working at the same time. For some people, it is another way to fulfill their broken (unfulfillable) dreams of universities. According to the basic condition of China, the informal education really does a good job a- bout the necessity of so many peoples education, and help to improve the quality of people in
