9.28 Do you agree with the viewpoint that people are now easier to become educated than in the past?
Education is one of the key words of our time.(这个不妥,如果翻译过来就是“教育是我们时间的关键词之一”,"our time"一般不表示“我们的时代”的意思,考虑:Education is one of cruicial compositions of the society) With the increasing awareness of the importance of education as well as the growing amount of educational resources, I maintain that people are now easier to become education (educated) than in the past.I would like to further illustrate my reasons as follows:
First and foremost, as society developed(这里无论是表被动或是过去时,都不太合适,“社会一直在发展”:as the society has been developing) , education becomes a vital factor for countries (become的时态不对,可改为:has already become) who want to promote their international competitiveness. An increasing number of countries are willing to give money to develop their educational institutes. In the past, not all students were able to become educated, but nowadays government fund universities and colleges to make sure almost every student can afford the tuition and get education. Universities also offer teachers excellentconditions to attract more and more intellectuals engaging in educational fields. High quality facilities have been equipped by universities in order to encourage students to improve their practical ability in all kinds of scientific researches. Consequently, in modern society, education has become easier accessible.
Furthermore, with the development of technology, one of the most important inventions--Internet has greatly changed our life, especially the education. Various open courses and learning materials available on the Internet that people obtain knowledge easier than before. As a university student, I can benefit a lot form the online education. For instance, when I prepared for the new TOEFL, I took an online course on the website of New Oriental, a famous educational institution in China. Taking this course, I need not to go to the institution but rather watch the radio (video?) of the course online whenever and wherever I want. Therefore, in my opinion, people have more opportunities to be educated today than in the past.
What is more, nowadays the awareness of education has also been dramatically increased on account of a good education background is beneficial to all of us ("on account of "后不接句子,只接名词或名词性短语;可改为:on account of a good education background which is beneficial to all of us) . A man without an education, many of us believe( widely considered), is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances(这句好像不太合适,没有接受教育有很多因素,不一定是不利环境的受害者), deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities(觉得有点怪怪滴~). Under a heavy influence of the global economic crisis, unemployment rate has been significantly increased. Most people may notice that it is very hard to find a good job. But, a person with a master degree or doctoral degree may have much more opportunities than that person with bachelor’s degree to get an ideal job. So, the fierce competition in today’s world serves as a motivation to encourage people to receive better education.
Of course,(Admittedly, of course 貌似没有让步的意思) I do not deny that people in the past focused more on study than us because they barely have(拥有) things distract (to distract) their attention, such as playing computer games or chatting online. However, most of students who want to get better grades can restrain themselves (这句似乎没有很支撑你想要表达的意思). So, in summary, with the development of society and technology as well as increasing awareness of education, people surely get education easier than people (who,不然就重复了) in the past.
总结: 1、整体读完后,对分论点的印象有,但有点模糊,可能2点原因 (1)段首句问题。尤其是第一个分论点,貌似真正的分论点句在第二句,这会影响考官对关键信息的获取。 最好,能在段首句的前半部分出中心。 (2)例子有点散,感觉每部分都举了几个例子,但没有特别具体的。
2、让步段的反驳可以更好
3、有一些小地方表述时可以更好
4、结构还是不错的,看得出来,楼主很勤奋,写作水平一直在提高中~~~~一起加油吧!
