Are Universities Bad at Pracitical Education
QUESTION:
Universities do not prepare people for work. Instead they teach knowledge that has little relevance ‘in the real world’.
How far do you agree or disagree?
ANSWER:
Nowadays, in China much of the knowledge taught in universities is not does not prove practical in a real work job. As a result, many people are criticizeing the universities.
I also strongly hold this view this is also a strongly held view of mine due to my own experiences in university a few years ago. Many of my friends complained that despite all the time and efforts they spent on and put into their studies, they were not sure if they could would use the knowledge in their future careers.
Many factors have resulted in this problem. First, teachers hardly ever suggest to students how they can put their knowledge into practice. This is because teachers are assessed by students performances in tests and students are challenged by the tests for obtaining the degrees. The This exam-centred system significantly discourages both students and teachers form from studying practical knowledge. Additionally, textbooks in general are outdated because the technology used in many industries is developing too fast for textbook-writers to catch up with. Thirdly (awkward use of numbered list, 1 and 2 were not numbered) many teachers believe that their role is to inspired students to research the subjects they teach or to prepare them for further studies rather than to nurture professionals. Many of the teachers are researchers or scientist themselves. That is why they do not realise the importance of practical knowledge.
Although universities are trying harder than ever before to help students to be prepared (repeated to is awkward) for their work, the virtual tasks they present to students are often far from the reality.
Overall, I think the issue that universities in China do not do a good job in teaching practical knowledge is very dreadful.(difficult sentence to correct, the clause between 'the issue' and 'is very dreadful' is not correctly phrased as a sub clause. A sub clause should work as a separate and complete statement. It would be better like this:)
Overall, I think it is clear that Universities do a poor job of teaching practical knowledge. This is a dreadful situation and I hope it improves in the future.
I wish hope it would be better in the situation improves in the future. (your subject is not defined well enough to use 'the')
Good work!

// Even I have issues writing at this level! So don't worry about your proficiency, it's great.
// I rephrased a few things to make them more understandable. Check it.
// I also added some things. Check that too.
// The main issues include omitting unnecessary words that English simply finds unnecessary, as well as using commas to separate your clauses. If it seems like you're writing a long sentence without using any commas, check it again. Most of the time long sentences are made of compound/dependent clauses, so commas are absolutely necessary in constructing them.
// Your English is at a pretty amazing level. While there were a few errors that stood out, none of them were very major.
Lots of kids at my school can't even write at this level. Please keep it up! It's great!
