Hi, you have written a pretty good essay. A little repetitive at points and your grammar and vocabulary could be a bit better, but I liked your structure and arguments.

Topic: People attend school for many different reasons (for example, expanded knowledge, societal awareness, and enhanced interpersonal relationships). Why do you think people decide to go to school? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Task Nowadays, [as] society [develops] more and more develops and[, it] requires more knowledgable{sp} people. That accounts for the fact that [most] people now make a decision to go to school. In my opinion, more and more people decide to go to school because of their bright future, gaining knowledge and social status later. {try to make this more parallel "... decide to go to school to have a brighter future, to gain knowledge, and to increase their social status after graduation."} First of all, studying brings us a bright future. People go to school in the hope of having a bright future{try to be less repetitive with this phrase} or at least a good life later. For instance, students go to universities with the hope that they can accumulate[acquire] the knowledge in order to become a doctor, an engineer or find a job they can [at least] make ends meet on at least. Next, people go to school to gain more knowledge. At school, we will be convey[ed] the knowledge not only about the nature around us but also about how to behave in our society. That is the most important factor that we need to survive in the human society. If we have a good behavior, we will be respected. Finally, people go to school for[to increase] their social status. Your education determines your social status. The higer{sp} your level of education is, the higher your social status is. More and more education you have helps you [to] become important people in many fields{"... become an important person in your field."}. For example, if you study economics , you can become[acquire a] master’s degree, [or] a PhD of economics or even [become] a professor of economics. In concusion{sp}, going to school is a right decision in the market economy["market-driven" sounds better} world today. To survive in this society, you can do nothing but study.[nothing helps more than studying] Only studying can help you gain knowledge, have a bright future and [achieve] high social status
