Essay for TOEFL(English test) Essay for TOEFL(English test) Hello. I am currently studying for writing essays so it would be nice if you could help me to improve my writing skill :) I wrote an essay. If you have time, please have a look and let me know if you find any mistakes! *　*　*　*　*　* Question: People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge).Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Attending college is a great experience in life. People go to college for various purposes. In my opinion, there are 2 major reasons which I will explore in the following essay. First, people attend college to expand their opportunities. When people go to college, they would meet a lot of people from different countries or cities. Through communication with them, students would be able to learn many new points of view for the world. For example, I entered a college and I met a lot of people who I had never met or communicate with before. One of my classmates was working full time while studying and one was a mother who was taking care of a baby while attending a college. In high school, I did not have these chances to talk to people with different backgrounds. Through this experience, I learned many things from them and this experience would be very beneficial for my life. Second, college gives people better chances to succeed. Some professions require getting specific degree or course. If you want to become a doctor you need to go to medical school to meet the requirement for the certificate. When people graduate from college, they have better chance to become professions they wish to be. Moreover, they would be able to get a better position in a company or get a higher salary. I started working full time after I graduated from high school. A few years later, I wanted to change my career and increase my skills so I decided to go to college. Through lectures and discussions in college, I gained many new pieces of knowledge and skills that need to develop my career. After graduated from college, I could get a better job and now I am very satisfied with my achievements. In conclusion, I feel strongly that colleges help people to expand their opportunities and chances for better life.
