Informal Higher Education Serves Better
姓名 黄沁 江苏省南京市南京师大附中 学校 高二（13）班级 准考证号 0413
Although most students are still fighting for the diploma in universities after graduation from high school, it has been a clear trend that more and more students choose to start their working career earlier and receive informal higher education, which in my opinion, serves better to build more competition (competitive) and suitable personal abilities.
Informal higher education offers better opportunities to adapt to social life for students, and help them understand better the reality of their social community and responsibilities they are to take. Compared with those who spend entirely their time in the (on) campus, students who take evening classes could contact with more people, develop their communication skills and social behaviors during working hours. They know better how cruel and realistic the society is and that it is your power and capabilities that only speak. They understand and adapt better to the pressure of life’s difficulties which in universities could hardly be realized. From LiuxuePaper.com.
Secondly, after experiencing real working life, these (those) who attend correspondence courses would know better what kind of knowledge and abilities they must master, which definitely help them in future advancement and career choices. Suppose you’re a graduate from high school and become an assist of a car repairing workshop. Then you’ll have to know how the engine and different parts of the car works and how to deal with various crisises (emergent problems). Therefore, night schools’ education (evening classes) would enable you (插入 to) acquire more specialized knowledge which are fit to you. However, in universities, you have to learn a great many courses, some of which are comparatively useless and can even make you bewilded of future (bewildered to the future).
Furthermore, as they have more time to manage for themselves, students drop higher education in universities could earn some money and gain earlier start in career. These will ease their families’ burdens and satisfy their desire for basic money needs. As a matter of fact, nowadays, more than a few American teens abandon university’ s education and try to become a worker like air-conditional repairer (air-conditioner repairman) who can earn as much as $ 30, 000 for the first year. Thus, their decisions benefit themselves and their families.
Conclude (To conclude) from all the facts talked above, we can safely arrive at the summary that informal higher education is more efficient and serves better. It make (makes) you ahead of others in career development with more competitive skills, fit knowledge, pre cious experiences of social life and more leisure to earn some essential financial supports. As we’ll one day indulge ourselves in the real soci (walk into the realistic society,) informal higher education serves better for our present and future developing. (development)

Fruit & the Vitamin Medicine
姓名 俞艾杉 辽宁省大连市第二十四中 学校 2·10班级 准考证号 0335
With the world developing in (at) high speed, more and more young people take part in higher educated (education). Some of the (them) choose to go to universities, and the others joined evening classes and open universities or took correspondence courses. I think, if we put the formal university education as the fruits we eat and the informal higher education would be like the vitamin medicine. Both of them could give us what we need.
Let’s see two examples: The first one is my elder sister, who studyed (studied) very well and went into Beijing University with a high mark. Now, after the four-year university life, she was employed by a lawyer firm and makes a large sum of money every year.From LiuxuePaper.com.
Another example is a girl who used to working in (work in) my father’s bar. She was a country girl, (插入 and) she worked hard but got little money, so under my father’s encouragement, she attended an evening class in spare time. The first two years was a hard time, because on one hand, she must to (去掉) learn knowledge in the evening when she was very tired after one day's work; On the other hand, she had to make money to pay for the evening class. But then her way was wider and wider, and now she found a better job in a small company and can offer much more money to her poor family.
In my opinion, even both the girl and my sister got a good job at last, but I still think that enter (attending) formal university is better. Because in universities we could make more friends, we could get more chances to communicate with the experienceness (experienced) professors, we could get more ways to receive information of our future jobs, and we could also send ourselves into the coulful (colorful) groups in the university so that we could have a happier higher educated life. But in the informal education, there could not be so much fun.
Though I thought like this, but I have to say equally that both fruit and vitamin medicine can give us the vitamins we need, the only difference between them is that some people love fruits and the others may thought (think) having medicine is easier. So whatever you choose, the fruit or the medicine (the formal university education or the informal higher education), the most important is that you can get the knowledge you wanted, isn't it?

Let's Go to Universities!
姓名 张培培 山东省淄博市第十一中 学校 高二22班级 准考证号 0209
There's a general debate (插入 on) whether or not universities are the best place for young people to receive higher education. Some people think it right while others think the opposite is true. There’s probably some truth in both opinions.
Some students dream to go (dream of going) to universities be- cause studying in universities does do good to them. Universities have super (outstanding) teachers and professors and most universities are equipped with excellent facilities. Also, by taking part in all kinds of activities organized in universities, students can widen their views (插入 and) increase their experience. In this case, many students are motivated to study harder and acquire more knowledge in middle schools in order to be admitted by the universities they dream of. Not only (插入 do) universities provide good studying place (circumstance), but also they (去掉) encourage students to study. However, there are also some disadvantages. For instance, some universities are not so good as expected, (插入 and) many students can’t learn much to meet the need of society. Those who fail in their exams can’t go to their desirable universities.
However, the opportunity is offered by the open universities. Students can be equally educated by taking correspondence courses or going to evening class if they fail to go to universities. They can choose courses that cater for their interest and the need of the times freely. Although they are refused to go to universities, they can also benefit from the correspondence courses or evening classes. As the saying goes, “every coin has two sides”. Things always leave undesiabl (something undesirable). There are some evening classes whoes (whose) quality is not good. It’s hard for people to receive sufficient knowledge. From LiuxuePaper.com.
For me, as a student, I would like to go to universities. Once a time, I walked in the Peking University. I was really attracted by the swaggering confidence, the irrepressible spirit and the indomitable nerves that the students in it (去掉) have. I was lost in the studying atmosphere. I’m really eager to go to university that I like. It is the goal that motivates me to study hard. I have done my best and will continue to do so. I believe it won’t be long before I achieve my goal!
Ibsen once said, “It’ a your suprem (supreme) duty to cast yourself into a useful emplement.” (implement) I set my mind to go to the university and I’m determined to succeed.
Let’s go to universities for the universities’ advantages provided.

University, a Better Choice
姓名 卢亦岑 辽宁省沈阳市东北育才 学校 高一9班级 准考证号 0083
Today, more and more students choose to go to universities after their (they) graduate from high school. The motive varies from individual to individual. Meanwhile, there are also a number of people argue that for juveniles, taking correspondence courses or going to evening classes and open universities in their spare time would be a better choice, since these students, who are new-comers of the society, can learn much more outside the classroom. To determine which is more desirable, we should look into further details.
It is a simple yet universial (universal) law that for adolescents, study is a never-changed thing to do. Consequently, students may never take the pain to ponder: why I go to school? (插入 When) answering the question why they go to universities, they may say, “to learn more academic knowledges (knowledge), to made new friends, to look for a higher-paid (well-paid) job and so on.” Universities, nevertheless, have the ability to offer young peoples (people) who are of an age a large platform, which let them to meet, to compete, and to learn from each other. The impact that universities have had on our society in general, is undeniable. Lots of people when reminded (recalling) of the old days in university, would say, that four years are golden, since (for) it provided them lots of opportunities. Though painstaking and time-consuming in many people’s eye, the function that university as a refinery of the young is highly valued and of essence.
On the contrary, evening classes and so on so force (去掉), would stand in a lower position for its lack of communications. Say, students come from a single (the same) city, not even a country. Unlike the exotic faces in a university campus (去掉), students of a (an) evening class are not at all diversified. In addition, it is no doubt that in a broad sense, no one can garantee (guarantee) that those student (students) will be under a condition of “learning” during the free time of a part time (part-time) class. Will all of them, our future elites, go to work or read books in libraries? Hardly. Gone are the days when knowledge is highly valued. It is a time now, when technology is accumulated by multiplying, and at the same time becomes more and more entertaining. Internet, TV, ... all kinds of things will lead to a consequence that students’ concentration be distracted. As a result, the detriments of evening class will overweigh its benifits (benefits).
When the issue comes to my current situation, I will definetly (definitely) choose go to universities without any hesitate (hesitation). However, part-time classes would be a better choice under only one circumstance. It only benefits people who have high self-control, who are virtually minority in quantity.

With different kinds of evening classes and open universities popping up everywhere, there is no denying that complementary schools have played an integral part in our lives. However, my perspective is that formal universities far outweigh such complementary schools.
Allowing for more flexibility, students (Complementary schools allow more flexibility, and the students there) can adjust their study schedule to match the time of day when they are most alert (busy). Nevertheless, there also exist some disadvantages that should never be ignored. Firstly, such schools don’t have severe disciplines, thus some students are easily lured to the dreadful sin instead of the heaven for knowledge (逻辑错误, acquiring knowledge). Gang violence can be seen in such schools. Secondly, some students there just want to kill time and attach too much importance on (to) fashion. As a result, poor students would be ostracized for their shabby clothing, while middle class students would feel much pressure to spend exorbitant amounts on expensive designer clothing. Thirdly, some open schools are like marshmallows, light and fluffy with no real sub- stance. It’s a waste of time and money. Last but not least, all companies don’t view certifications (certificates) of such schools equivalent to those of formal schools. Job hunting could become a (an) insurmountable problem.
Conversely, there is a correlation between formal universities and the word “authority”. Firstly, universities provide an ideal environment for study with rules promoting discipline. Needless to say, it will stimulate students to discuss about thought-provoking issues and exchange their own experiences. Secondly, formal universities can creat (create) a sense of cohesiveness, which leads students to work within a group concept. It’s an all-important factor in the society. Thirdly, students can build successful human interaction in (on) campus since they have more time to spend together, finding they have more in common with one another. Life in universities is like food, be it nutritious food for our body or spiritual food for our soul.
There are several examples of some individuals who get success without university experience. However, there’re tens of thousands of examples who fail. Auending a formal university, as a general rule of thumb, is the best way to go.

Dear Jean:
It is a great surprise that you sent me a letter telling me that you were considering about getting higher education! Now that you can hardly decide whether to go to formal universities or informal courses, let me give you some advice that may help.
The formal or the informal, there is much discussion nowadays on it (both). Most people incline to the former for the most important reason: it is formal. The word “formal” means famous professors, latest information, better facilities and more opportunities, few of which the informal colleges can provide with (去掉). However, there are some things that formal universities can not offer: a flexible timetable and a study plan just for you. The reason why Bill Gates left Harvard before graduation lies in the fact that he couldn’t gain what he himself wanted to learn.
On the other hand, some people hold the view that young people can be equally educated by taking informal courses in their spare time. The reasons are as follow. First and foremost, informal courses give people more chances to learn if they failed to attend a formal university. Furthermore, the timetable is so flexible that you don’t have to quit from your job. Last but not least, the open attitude of informal courses encourages more people to pick up books again when they are no more young (not young), as the saying goes “Live to learn, learn till death. “ Notwithstanding the advantages, there are still some advantages (disadvantages). For instance, many companies don’t hire a man who has just been in informal universities instead of a formal one. From LiuxuePaper.com.
As far as I’m concerned, I tend to a formal university and I’ve just told you the reasons above. But there is one thing that I believe all my life: the fit one is the best. Please don’t just follow my advice, on the contrary you should think carefully and make you own decision. The future being in your own hand, just ask yourself: what you truly desire for.
Well, please send me a letter after you make up your mind. No matter what the decision is, I am proud of you! Good Luck!
Your sincerely,
Ann
