ESSAY SAMPLES
TOPIC 1
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.
At one point or another in their high school lives, many students wonder whether they should go to university. Some say no to the question because they might think that higher education is not necessary for them. Others say yes and spend the next four years in classrooms. In my opinion, people choose to go to university because of three main reasons such as pursuing their academic interest, preparing for their future career, and enjoying social life.
First of all, many people attend university to study a particular subject or field in which they are interested deeply. University curriculums allow students to focus on the fields they are interested in and explore them in depth. Moreover, universities offer a variety of specialized courses instructed by knowledgeable professors. Such a wide selection of courses and professors with expertise enable students to pursue their academic goals in the fields of their choice.
Another common reason for people to go to university is that college education often leads to a better career in the future. As a matter of fact, in many countries, people with university degrees tend to find better-paid jobs than those without them. Companies usually offer higher salaries and more attractive positions to university graduates. In addition, some universities provide their students with opportunities to acquire practical skills that can be useful in the real world. For example, they offer courses in computing, foreign languages as well as apprentice programs in which students can get working experience in a company.
Finally, for some students, enjoying social life can be the sufficient reason for staying in school for another four years. Universities often attract students from different parts of the country and even from the world, so they have chances to meet diverse groups of people and learn about their life-styles. Moreover, universities usually have numerous clubs and student organizations, such as sports teams, hobby groups, and social activity groups. Joining these groups, lifelong friendships are often formed. Thus, universities can be places to meet people of different backgrounds and foster relationships.
In conclusion, going to university is a significant decision in life, and people may have different reasons for making that decision. They might decide to attend university to pursue their academic goals, to achieve a better career, or to develop friendships. Whatever the reason is, it is important for students to make the best of the opportunities the school provides them. If they do, the time they spend as university students will surely be one of the most meaningful periods of their life.
