They will certainly be the first to help children learn what is important in life, how they are expected to behave and what role they will play in their world. However, learning to understand and share the value system o
7、f a whole society cannot be achieved just in the home. Once a child goes to school, they are entering a wider community where teachers and peers will have just as much influence as their parents do at home. At school, children will experience working and living with people from a whole variety of ba
8、ckgrounds from the wider society. This experience should teach them how to co-operate with each other and how to contribute to the life of their community.

10、ity, youth unemployment is now becoming an issue for many countries in the world. This essay will look at the severe consequences it may lead to and put forward some potential solutions. Obviously, one of the most immediate effects of youth unemployment is that those jobless graduates cannot find a
11、way to earn a living; thus unable to support themselves and their families or to cover the loans which they might have for their expensive education, creating much pressure on themselves and their families, both financially and psychologically. So they may be easily haunted by pessimism and distress
12、. However, this is far from a personal or private problem; actually it is also a problem for society as a whole. When the rate of youth unemployment rises, it may increase the chance of social instability, for the jobless young people with resentment and disappointment may easily form gangs or group
13、s to commit robbery or other more serious crimes. The possible solutions are always under discussion at both personal and government level.

A more important thing concerning young graduates themselves should be taken into consideration, i.e. they should be
15、 advised to lower their unrealistic expectations and embark on some seemingly more fundamental work, for example, that in the communities or rural areas, which is indeed not that “bad“. This may work efficiently to reduce the current unemployment rates. 【知识模块】 写作 3 【正确答案】 The Internet is developing
16、at a surprising speed and is changing our whole way of life. For example, it is claimed that the abundant information on the Internet makes it possible for students to study at home, instead of going to schools as they did before. It is true that the Internet does play some part in the learning proc
17、ess today, but I believe, it is far from enough to ensure an education as comprehensive and wholesome as schools do. In todays world, the Internet is a master key to almost all the knowledge and information available. So a good understanding of computer technology will give a student an edge in sear
18、ching for and making use of the information for their studies. For instance, students who know how to make the most of the powerful search engines such as Google, tend to find more detailed information about the subjects discussed in class so as to gain a deeper insight into the events or experiment
19、s and acquire a multidimensional understanding of current issues. However, this does not automatically mean the Internet can play all the roles a school can, not to mention taking its place. School education always is, and will remain, essential for ones upbringing because it is not only a platform
20、to impart knowledge but also a stage to educate an individual about values and attitudes etc. Studying and living in an environment where students will be encouraged by their teachers and accompanied by their peers benefits them in a wider range. They are more likely to know how to be themselves whi
21、le fitting in a group, how to develop their critical thinking while learning to take advice from others. On the other hand, the Internet can hardly serve these functions. And when students are well exposed to all kinds of information provided by the huge database of the Internet, it is the judgment
22、students learn from schools that helps them distinguish between right and wrong. Overall, I think schools will continue playing the leading role in education, and the Internet will be a complementary part to it. 【知识模块】 写作 4 【正确答案】 Universities play very important roles in the modern world. While man
23、y people argue university education should focus on giving graduates an edge in the job market, personally, I think it has a larger role to play for both individuals and society as a whole. The practical function of university education (that is, a way for students to find better jobs in the future)
24、 has been accorded increased importance by the general public because more and more people today pin their hopes on studying in universities to gain a better chance of employment, which is also the very goal that drives the majority of parents who support their children financially through universit
25、y. Considering the fact that the tuition fees for higher education is far from a small sum of money to many families, and with the uncertainty of a competitive job market, paying more attention to the employment issue of universities graduates can be well justified. However, this does not mean the m
26、ain function of university education is, or should be, career-oriented. Just as the most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of an individual and the significance of ones life to himself or herself and to others, universities grant students the chance to unders
27、tand themselves and their society better. Therefore, what a university should mainly focus on is the development of students personality and morality, which would benefit its students over their whole lives; not only in terms of starting a career, but in terms of what lies behind a job having a clea
28、r perspective of what is important in life, what roles they will play in the world, and of course how they will contribute to their communities. Obviously, this is also closely related to the development of a nation in the long term, for only with people trying to live their lives to the fullest can
29、 a country have a bright future. That is why many people, from Plato and Bacon to todays educationalists, claim university education should give access to knowledge and truth for their own sake, as it is supposed to be enlightening and inspiring. Thus, I firmly believe the main purpose of pursuing university education is and always will be more than getting trained for a decent job. It is to benefit individuals and society in a much wider sphere than that of the workplace. 【知识模块】 写作
