2012-1-23 独立作文作业 People are now easier to become educated than in the past.
From my perspective, it’s apparent that nowadays, people are easier to become educated than in the past. Points below support my idea.
First of all, now education has been more financially affordable. In the past, although the tuition fees of universities aren’t of high levels, many families are still too poor to support their children’s further studies. There is no one but longs to go to college. Yet some people have to give up the opportunity even though they have acquired excellent results in the college entrance examinations. But now, with the rapid development of economy, people are getting richer and richer. Going to the college is not a difficult dream to realize any more. Besides, people also have enough extra money to purchase learning tools, such as reference books or laptops.
In addition, resources that help people study have been far more accessible. With the coming of the 21th century, man has entered into an age of data, information and multimedia. And the whole society has attached more importance to education. Reference books are abundant in variety, and it is universally acknowledged that we can know almost everything by searching for the internet. My father once told me that, when he was a college student, it’s so hard for people to learn foreign languages because of the scarceness of the listening and speaking materials. However, in our generation, we can go to YouTube to listen to CNN news and even use MSN to communicate with our foreign friends to practice our English.
Furthermore, today, due to the easiness of life that the development of society and technology have brought about, people have more spare time so that people have a chance to put forth more effort on study. For instance, systematic transportation has contributed a lot to save time commuting. And for the convenience of students’ school lives, most schools have provided students with school buses and more dormitories. But in the past, school life is exhausting because of the long distances people lived from school as well as the unadvanced transportations. My father used to ride bicycle for one hour and a half to reach his universities. That means he had to spend three hours every day on the road! Only if he could spend these hours on study!
In conclusion, people are now easier to become educated than in the past as now education is more financially affordable, resources are more available and people have more spare time. However, even we are so lucky to live in this well-developed society, if we don’t have determined will to be educated, all these advantages will be useless. |
