范文:

Why Do We Attend University?

我们为什么上大学?

When we consider why we should attend universities, different people have different ideas. In some students' eyes, studying in universities means a bright future after graduation. They think they are bound to find good jobs with a good college education.

对于我们为什么要上大学,不同的人有不同的看法。在一些学生看来,在大学里学习意味着毕业后有一个美好的未来。他们认为,有了大学的教育,他们一定能够找到一个好工作。

However, life in the colleges and the jobs that they can find are usually somewhat disappointing. Especially under the severe competition of today's society, it is not very easy for a college graduate to find a satisfying job. As far as I am concerned, universities can provide good study opportunities and essential facilities for those who want to acquire knowledge for the construction of our country, and this is the reason why we attend the universities.

然而,大学的生活和毕业后的工作往往使他们失望。尤其在当今社会激烈的竞争下,大学毕业生要想找到一份满意的工作也不太容易。我认为,大学给那些为了国家的建设而努力学习的人提供了良好的学习机会和必要的设施,这才应该是我们上大学的真正原因。
