1. People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
There is an widespread controversy when it comes to why there are so many people choose to continue their studying in college or university. Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concerns, people might have their own answers to this issue. As far as I am concerned, there are three main reasons why people attend college or university, as discussed below.
To start with, among the most reasons identified by people who choose to attend college or university, one of them should be stressed--to gain sufficient knowledge before they enter the society. As a matter of fact, with the development of modern society, the requirement of companies for their will-be employees' degrees are becoming higher and higher. This fact could be aptly illustrated by a survey including hundreds of companies throughout our country conducted recently. There are 80 percent of these companies require their employees have at least bachelor, almost twice the rate ten years ago. That is the highest percent in history, continuing na upward trend begun in 1990s. So people have to enter the colleges or universities to gain more knowledge before entering the society.
Furthermore, a multitude of other reasons conspire toward people's propensity of attending college or university. Making friends should be undoubtedly emphasized among these reasons. Attending college or university, in fact, is not only a chance to learn more practical skills but also a valuable chance to enhance people's social relationship. Yu Minhong, the CEO of New Oriental School-the largest English Institute in China, just found his future partners in his days on campus. Without the friends he made in his college, there could not be the best English institute in China and there could not be the success of Yu today meanwhile. Thus, we could have a better understanding of the significance of making friends in college or university.
Last but not the least, virtually attending college or university is so many people's dream in China especially for these who come from small towns. Lacking sufficient educational resource, there are only a small part of people who are the most excellent students in high school could have the chance and ability to attend college or university in China. Continuing studying in college and university in big cities has become the students and their families' dream to some extent. That is why there are so many students in small towns tried their best to attend college and university in Beijing-the capital of China. Realizing the dream always comes first.
Obviously, all the analysis and concrete examples justified an unshakable conclusion that obtaining knowledge, making friends and realizing the dream are the most rudimentary reason why people attending college or university in China.
