　　Some people think that a large proportion of young people should go to university; however, others think that we should encourage them to become car mechanics, builders etc to meet the needs of the community. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. (2009.09.05)

　　Nowadays, it is widely accepted that social skills are as important as good qualifications for success in a job. Do you agree or disagree? (2012.01.14)

　　The qualities a person needs to become successful in today’s world cannot be learned at a university or any similar academic institution. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2011.09.03)

　　Some people believe that theoretical subjects (such as mathematics, philosophy and economy) should not be taught in university because universities should focus on practical subjects (such as marketing¹, computer programming and accounting). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　大学教育与职业技术教育的最大区别在于理论课程的学习，所谓的公共课。大一大二的这些理论课程为之后的专业课提供了理论基础，令学生更好的理解专业知识。理论课程的一大特点是相对稳定，不像专业知识更新那么快。另外，这些课程还锻炼和培养学生的思考能力和方法。上面这些素质使学生具备持续学习的能力，这在快速变化的今天至关重要。无论科学技术如何变化，学习能力使一个人能够永远跟上时代的步伐。

　　社会对劳动力的需求是多层次的。当大家蜂拥进入大学的时候，社会上技术工人变得紧缺，人才市场变得不平衡。于是技术工人就业比以前更容易，工资也比以前高。另外，工作早意味着早挣钱和更丰富的工作和社会经验。这些都是雇主看重的素质，因为雇主可以节省培训的费用，同时还可以得到更高的工作效率。

　　提纲：

　　Go to workGo to university

　　1 higher demand for occupational workers2 early to gain working experience and social skills1更广泛和深刻的理论和专业知识，更好地应对未来的变化2 higher payment

　　School leavers always have to make such decision whether to go to university or an occupational college so as to start working as soon as possible. Which road is more likely to lead to a brightprospect of career? (时间状语从句+疑问句)

　　Most people would favor higher education, with some undeniable arguments. Firstly university students are equipped with both practical and theoretical knowledge and skills which areconsidered to better prepare them for their future career. The reason is that degree holders⁴ tend to see things in a bigger picture due to the systematic⁵ thinking trained in theoretical subjectswhich are basically what differentiates⁶ higher education from vocational one. Theory learning also gives university students a competitive edge in adapting to the rapid technological⁷ advancein modern world. This flexibility⁸ and thinking abilities may explain why undergraduates are generally better paid at work. It seems that a decent academic qualification can guarantee a decent job.

　　However, this does not mean (that) tertiary education is the only way to a successful career. Occupational education is believed to better satisfy the variety of needs in a society. When most people choose to be professionals, leaving fewer to be car mechanics or builders, technical workers are in increasing demand. As a result, they are now paid well, in some cases even better than a professional. In addition, starting working early means accumulated working and social experience, which are highly valued by many employers who would expect cost saving of job training, effective communication and high working efficiency. Other qualities possessed⁹ by a skilled worker such as a mature manner to deal with complex issues can mainly be achieved in adynamic working condition. (宾语从句+被动句+时间从句+非谓语+动名词+定语从句)

　　My own opinion is that in any society there is demand for workers at different levels from professional to technical to non-skilled, and therefore anyone can find his or her position. In other words, either going to university or attending a vocational college can be a wise choicedepending on one’s interest or personal traits. Only when one is doing a job he or she has passion for, can he or she achieve the best performance. As an old Chinese saying goes, ‘every profession produces its own topmost master’. (表语从句+非谓语+倒装句+方式状语从句)
