13、答案】 Universities Should Not Charge High Tuition Fees Nowadays, most universities require students to pay for their education, and the tuition fees have been staying very high. Some people take the development of the universities into consideration and support the high fees; while others think the hi
14、gh cost of university education is a heavy burden for many families. As far as I am concerned, universities are not institutions for profits, they are places for excellent students to learn and further study equally, so they should not charge high tuition fees that some families cannot afford. In th
15、e first place, the high tuition fees make the families save money for the children instead of consuming. A university student will need 12,000 yuan each year on average, which is almost the income of a couple who are wage earners. In other words, a family with an average income will spend their long
16、-term hard-earned savings, or they will be indebted. Whats worse, most families incomes in our country are below the average level. The high fees make the people save money for the childrens education even before they are born. In the second place, the high tuition fees will deprive the children fro

The supply exceeds demand; there are not so many jobs for the graduates, so most of them can not find jobs when getting out of s
20、chool. All in all, high tuition lees in the universities will influence the development of the society and harm the interests of students. The universities should charge reasonable tuition fees, provide equal opportunities for students and take the responsibility of molding the future of our nation. 【试题解析】 该话题可采用不同的立意：其一，大学应收取高额学费，因为大学自身的发展，包括提高师资力量，改善校园环境等需要大量资金；其二，高校不应收取高额学费，否则会使每个家庭都为教育而存钱，不利于刺激消费，间接剥夺了家庭贫困的学生的深造机会，高校为增加利益盲目扩大招生，使毕业生就业压力增大。无论采用哪种立意，都应该恰当运用因果分析、例证和对比等方法，针对不同观点作出合理论证。 【知识模块】 写作
