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.
The World we are living in is totally different from what it was some years ago. Different jobs appeared and others disappeared. Because of the economical and political situation in the World, people who tend to have a good job and to be competitive on the Labor market must have at least a basic knowledge how a Capitalism system works.
Attending colleges and universities became a normal thing nowadays. A lot of people choose to continue studying after finishing schools. The reasons are different, for someone it is important just to have a High Education Diplom but for others, this is an opportunity to learn something new, to develop their knowlegde, and why not, to have possibilities to get a good job with a well paid salary. Someone said that knowledge is the greatest power. And I do agree with this. The more you know, the better is for you. Big companies usually are not interested in who you are, how you look, where have you studied, but are interested in what you know, and what you can do for the company to increase it's effectivness and efficiency. However, it is important where your knowledge were obtained. For example, if you studied at a well known, prestigious university, then the chances are bigger to get a good job. Why do I say this? Because these educational institutions do not only teach and train students for what they are going to do at their jobs, but develop and improve personalities of their students. Besides this, universities and colleges give you the possibility to meet new people, sometimes from different countries, to socialize and to increase your communication skills.
Thus, attending colleges or universities, studying, obtaining new information and skills represent not only a good way to invest in your future, but also an opportunity to meet new interesting people and to make friends all over the world.
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Our first opinion about a person is based on what this person looks like and how he interacts with other people. However we cannot measure the level of education from the first time we see a person, but we can surely notice his behavior, which is definitely telling a lot about him.
Parents are those who are trying to teach their children what they think is the best for them. They are those who are trying to give the right education even before giving their children to school. Although some parents are not much concerned about their children’s education, every single parent dream to see their children achieving much more results than they did. Parents are those who give you the basic for your future’s education, they create and train your personality. Nowadays, when there are different economic problems, some parents do not have enough time to spend with their children, sometimes they even leave their children for long periods because they are trying to gain some money, so that their children will have a brighter future, and this, unfortunately, leads to different kind of problems. Children are not more interested in good things, good manners, studying, and, even since technologies have developed, they are more interested in computers and games. But, these are exceptions. Parents are those who give you a necessary advice when you need it, they will always support you and love you no matter what you have done. They are those who tell you what is the best solution for you, even if you are against, and think that they are wrong, they are not. They have already been through different situations, they are those who have already gained some experience in their life, and they hope that their children will not make the same mistakes.
And because of this, I do believe that parents are the best teachers, and there will not be anyone who could replace them, that’s why we should try to learn as much as we can from them.
