Many people argue that everyone, regardless of their background, has the right to gain higher education, while others stress that only the elites should be permitted to proceed.(nice alternatives for the statement ) In my opinion, some proper criterions should be established to select students who attend colleges or graduate schools, although education should be fair to everyone.
Admittedly, as one of the most significant characteristics of a civilized and developed society, every citizen in a country should have the equal right to access educational resources. That is,education should be open to everyone, regardless of color, race, creed or anything else. For example, a child who is a son of a poor family could (should or could?) be treated fairly as a child whose parents own a big company, when it comes to education. Fortunately, in most countries, elementary education is compulsory for all children, and even is (you can take "is " off here) for free in some countries, for example, in China.
However,(as someone has pointed out before, when you use however in the beginning of a paragraph, it is the same as "no matter how" . so ...use nevertheless/nonetheless instead) higher education is not suitable for everyone. Firstly, the purpose of higher education is to offer a specialized study to qualify the individual for professional activity or foremployment in higher positions in business, industry and government. But a great number of careers, which are necessary for a society, does (-> do) not require higher education. We need Edison to invent the lamp, Obama to govern the United States, while we also need cleaners to clean the street, postmen to deliver packages. (you might need a transition sentence here...) Unfortunately, more and more parents force their children to study hard to obtain offers from universities, because they believe that an advanced degree is equal to career success. In China, more than 10,000,000 students take the College Entrance Examination every year.(nice examples so far. but examples are supposed to be evidences for your argument. so tell the readers what conclusions can you draw after giving these examples!) Second, some criterions which are of great importance,for example a relative high intelligence, should be satisfied for the students who intend to pursue further study in higher education organizations, since the higher education is very difficult for the individual of a relative low intelligence.(to be honest, i dont like your second point of view...it's kind of offensive to those so called retarded students, who probably are not so good at study but could be real genius in music, art and stuffs. so why dont you change it into something more persuasive and not so discriminating, like the fact that lots of people cannot affort a higher education. but on second thought i guess all I said doesnt matter because it seems to be unfair to the poor. anyway, it is not a good idea to say something that might be offensive to a minority of people. at least i wont use it as an argument) Thus, it is necessary that a rule should be established to selectstudents to attend higher education organizations.
Furthermore, higher education can not be open to everyone since the resource of higher education is limited. There is a certain number of universities or colleges in a country, and those universities own a limited number of teachers and classrooms. It is impossible that everyone could obtain higher education. Take China for example, although over 1 million students take the College Entrance Examination, only 50% would be permitted. To optimize the resource, the elite students should be allowed to proceed because they are more likely to bring a huge contribution to the society.
Everyone should have a fair opportunity to compete for admittance to a high education organization, but rules should be established to select suitable candidates. (there is no transition between the last two paragraphs. and also, just like the other essays i've read a couple of days ago...big head, big body but really short legs...; p... how about dragging your second "admittedly" paragraph here and mixing it up with your current ending to make a nice comprehensive conclusion? )
You know how to use English words and phrases precisely and accurately and these is a lot of changes in the sentence structure.
The casual grammar mistakes are in an acceptable range.
In general, your essay is a good one and deserves a score of at least 27. : )) |
