Is University Expansion a Good Thing J~
*>pp#U
There is no denying the fact that university expansion has become a hotly debated topic in China in the past years. (Actually, ever since the state resumed its policy of holding the national college entrance examinations, the number of people enrolling in colleges has been increasing. In the past few years particularly, the number of students in colleges has been soaring.) To this issue people’s attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They claim that university expansion is a perfect index of the nation’s fast developing economy and society and that it reflects the rising of people’s level of education. HuN_$aP
Others, however, hold the opposite view. They claim that university expansion like that in China is dangerous. First, university expansion often means institutions of higher education lower their standards of recruiting students, which in turn results in the degradation of the quality of college graduates. Secondly, with the sharp increase in the number of students, education resources including teaching staff, equipments, buildings and books obviously loom in short. 1n.F`%YG
Personally, I believe that we should not go to extremes. On the one hand, we have to realize that university expansion is a natural result of the nation’s fast developing of economy and society in the past decades. (It need not and cannot be curbed.) On the other hand, we should not be too hasty in expanding universities. Instead, we should take all related factors into consideration and ensure that (teaching resources match the number of students in school so that) universities can expand in a healthy way.

2. Where There Is a Will, There Is a Way z'gJ y
A well-known proverb goes that “where there is a will, there is a way”, which means that one can find a way to success as long as he or she has a strong will. With a strong will, one can focus all his energy on one point, which makes his success possible. Without a strong will, however, one can be easily distracted from his goal or discouraged by setbacks, which leads to his ultimate failure. d5=& :cF
(或 A well-known proverb goes “Where there is a will, there is a way”, which means that one can find a way to success as long as he or she has a strong will. With a strong will, one can focus all his energy on one point, which makes his success possible; with a strong will, one can find any chance possible and make the best use of it; besides, with a strong will, one can move people around him or her, thus obtaining help and hints from them.) ,WoV)L '?
History abounds with examples of strong-willed figures winning success. Actually, there is no better illustration of the proverb than the deeds of Gou Jian, king of Yue in ancient China. Defeated by Fu Chai, king of Wu, Gou tried every means possible to steel his will. Eventually, with the help of Fan Li and Xi Shi, he managed to rebuild his country and his armies and had Fu Chai taste the bitterness of failure. jF

The same is true in scientific research or daily life. Take English study for example. Without a strong will, one may easily lose his or her heart in the face of numerous new words or grammatical rules. Similarly, without a strong will, one may give in to shyness and embarrassment and make no progress with oral English. kD((1 v*D$
In short, a strong will is essential if we want to make achievements in our studies or work, or indeed in any other aspect of our lives. One should lose no chance to strengthen his will and remember, God helps those who help themselves. }%y5<n *v\
