雅思写作范文：高中毕业后的选择

 　　Should students go on further study or find a job after leaving high school?

　　Time spent in campus is not always treated with gracious look, but some parents may choose other ways for the longevity¹ of their children’s post-high-school period, namely, find the adolescents a job, rather than sending them to a college. I can find myself against this act for a thousand reasons, amongst which we can figure some strongest ones as follows:

　　My first con² against this behavior is that education is not just a benefit but also one’s rights. Without education , as Gorge³ Orwell had once said ,is to be deprived of the most precious privilege in our time as a modern man. With college education , youngsters can choose a better way of doing thing correctly and more efficiently⁴. The sharp contrast between those who have received well education and those without is not just financially, but more vitally, spiritually.

　　Admittedly, we can find cases of some one achieves without college education, but these cases are famous only because they are rare. Those people who succeed with a college degree are so many that this would seem to be a must and a natural part of elites⁵. The absence of university education is hard to imagine in our days. The prospect⁶ of those juvenile⁷ workers or businessmen would be even dimmer than ever before .For in our age, knowledge is not only the power, but also the know-how⁸ to solving problems and gaining a much larger fortune.

　　Therefore we should always encourage kids to further education and even more, we should fund those who cannot afford their college study, because their future is the future of our nation.
