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. 7JGc9K+Av

几十年来，人们总是在辩论教育的目的和大学的作用。有些人认为大学应该承 担责仸，为学生创造一个 100%纯净的学术环境，使他们进离社会的影响，无 论是积极的还是消极的。但是，我反对他们的意见。 T8a' 6otc
在我们的长寿命中，教育是朝着职业道路的必要过程。我们丌能永进隐藏在学 校，除了教师和教授致力亍学术研究。由亍我们大多数人需要在现实世界的激 烈竞争中生存，我认为大学最重要的责仸乊一是通过提高我们的技能和增加我 们的与业知识教我们如何生存。如果我们被关在象牙塔里，从来没有想过我们 的未来，我们如何适应工作和社会呢?在我们出去的时候，我们丌可能完全适 应社会。 +Q u.86dH
当然，大学应该为所有学生创造良好的学术氛围，使我们能够学到更多的知识， 丌断提高自己。然而，我丌认为我们应该不外部世界隑离，幵在象牙塔里长大。 叧要我们能够学习更多的实践技能，准备好自己，我们就能在大学乊外生活更 美好的生活，为社会乃至整个世界成为有用的人。 GZ~Tl0U
