大學教育的目標The Goal of University Education大綱
Nowadays most people go to university not only to learn new knowledge but to get a degree. Many of them no longer care about what they really learn in university, they care more about whether they will get the degree or not. They regard the degree as a golden key to a better jobs or higher salaries. For them, nothing is more important than a degree in university. In my point of view, I cannot agree to this idea.
現在大多數人上大學不是爲了學習新的知識，而是爲了要得到學位。大多人都不再關心他們在大學真正學到什麼，他們關心的是是否能得到學位。他們把學位作爲找到更好工作或獲得更高薪水的金鑰匙。對他們來說，沒有什麼比大學學位更重要。在我看來，我不同意這個觀點。
In the first place, degree is nothing but a paper that can prove you have finished your courses. Most students don’t realize what helps them to find a good job is what they really learn from university, the professional course, and the social skills and so on. In addition, having certificates is more important than having a degree. For instance, if you are looking for a translation job, you certainly need a CET-4 or CET-6 certificate. if you want to be a high school teacher, you need more certificate to prove yourself that you are fit for this job, such as TEM-8 and teacher certificate which is not a degree can show your abilities.
首先，學歷只不過是一張證明你已經完成學業的紙而已。大多數學生並沒意識到真正能幫助他們找到一份好工作的是他們在大學裏真正學到的東西，比如專業課，社會技能等。此外，證書比學位證書更重要。例如，如果您正在尋找一份翻譯的工作，你一定需要一個大學英語四或六級的證書。如果你想成爲一名中學教師，你需要更多的證書來證明你自己適合這份工作，如英語專業八級證書和教師資格證書，這雖然不是學位卻能顯示你的能力。
In the second place, having a good personal relationship is much nicer than having a degree. In the social net, you have more friends means you have more choices. For example, many students do not choose the right major in university because their parents chose for them, so that they may not work hard. In that case, this kind of students should spend more time to learn what they are really interested in and make more friends. It’s much better than they spend the whole time to learn the major which they don’t like at all.
第二，有一個良好的人際關係比擁有學位要好得多。在社交網站上，你擁有更多的朋友意味着你有更多的選擇。例如，許多學生沒有選擇恰當的大學主要是因爲他們的父母爲他們做了選擇，以至於他們可能不努力學習。在這種情況下，這類學生應該花更多的時間去學習自己真正感興趣的東西，交更多的朋友。這樣比他們把全部時間花在他們不感興趣的專業上要好得多。
To sum up, students should not care too much about their degree, and they should focus on what is truly needed for their future life. The goal of university education is not just to get a degree, but the really useful knowledge and practical experience.
總之，學生不應該太在意他們的學歷，他們應該關注他們未來生活真正需要的是什麼。大學教育的目標不僅僅是獲得一個學位，而是真正實用的知識和實踐經驗。
