On The Purpose of Education Over the decades, people are always debating on the purpose of education and the role of universities. Some people think the university should shoulder the responsibility to create a 100 percent pure academic environment for its students and keep them away from the influence of the society, whatever there are positive ones or negative ones. However, I am holding an opposite opinion against theirs. In our long life, education is a necessary process towards the path of an occupation. We cannot hide ourselves in school forever, except teachers and professors who are devoted to academic research. Since most of us need to survive in the fierce competition in the real world, I believe one of the most important responsibilities for universities is to teach us how to survive through enhancing our skills and increasing our professional knowledge. If we are kept in an ivory tower and never think of our future, how can we fit for work and the society? It is impossible for us to completely adapt to the society the moment we get out go the ivory tower. Of course, universities should create a good academic atmosphere for all the students, so that we can learn more knowledge and keep improving themselves. However, I do not think we should be isolated from the outside world and grow up in the ivory tower. As long as we can learn more practical skills and well prepare ourselves, we can live a better life beyond the university and become useful people for the society and even the whole world. #lV&U

幾十年來，人們總是在辯論教育的目的和大學的作用。有些人認為大學應該承 擔責仸，為學生創造一個 100%純凈的學術環境，使他們進離社會的影響，無 論是積極的還是消極的。但是，我反對他們的意見。 }$g5:k!
在我們的長壽命中，教育是朝著職業道路的必要過程。我們丌能永進隱藏在學 校，除了教師和教授致力亍學術研究。由亍我們大多數人需要在現實世界的激 烈競爭中生存，我認為大學最重要的責仸乊一是通過提高我們的技能和增加我 們的與業知識教我們如何生存。如果我們被關在象牙塔里，從來沒有想過我們 的未來，我們如何適應工作和社會呢?在我們出去的時候，我們丌可能完全適 應社會。 <8j n_6
當然，大學應該為所有學生創造良好的學術氛圍，使我們能夠學到更多的知識， 丌斷提高自己。然而，我丌認為我們應該不外部世界隑離，幵在象牙塔里長大。 叧要我們能夠學習更多的實踐技能，準備好自己，我們就能在大學乊外生活更 美好的生活，為社會乃至整個世界成為有用的人。 l2n>Wce9
