My essay summary:
1) Starting paragraph:
a) Which countries I know have high unemployment, and have a high number of primary level students?
b) Why does the country have high unemployment? Is it because it is not good in managing the economy? Is it war, or trade issues?
c) Is the country good in other things, such as rich in oil or other resources? What would happen if they have enough highly educated people who can develop these good things? Will they be able to have a good economy?
d) If so, then I say "I agree that high education can help the economy because there are enough highly skilled people to develop the resource sector"
2) Supporting paragraph 1:
a) Why is higher education better than low education? Because low education cannot do many things, only dangerous or manual ones.
b) Why is manual labour not good? Because it is inefficient, and requires many people to do one single job.
c) What happens if we have high education levels? Then we may need fewer people to do many jobs.
3) Supporting paragraph 2:
a) Describe the experience of Vietnam. From the end of the Vietnam War, there is not many jobs. But with the economy opening up, Vietnam is able to create a lot of jobs.
b) Compare today's Vietnam and 1960s Vietnam. Vietnam in the past does not have a modern economy in the 1960s. Today, people are able to have cars, mobile phones, homes, and able to travel overseas.
c) The reason for this economic change? It is because Vietnam is able to produce many higher level education students, which help the economy improve, and this creates more jobs.
4) Conclusion:
a) Summarise paragraph 1: Low education = manual and dangerous jobs.
b) Summarise paragraph 2: Talk about Vietnam's economy, and how it changed since the war.
c) Then say again, is higher education good? Of course- 1) Because higher education helps produce specialists who can develop resources of the country. 2) Because higher education creates a better economy and creates jobs. 3) If Vietnam did not have economic change, and all the workers are primary level students, maybe today you would never be able to use this computer to type out this essay.
Once you have this in very simple Vietnamese, then simply translate into English.
Well, I can see you are really having a tough time here. The subject is quite tough for me too. Here are a few tips:
1) Write down a summary in your native language (say Vietnamese). Make it as simple as you can. (e.g. "I think this is an apple. This is from the Garden of Eden" vs "I do believe this is a fruit from the apple tree which grows in the Garden of Eden")
2) Think of a conclusion you want to make. Write it down in the first paragraph, and the conclusion. Then find as much supporting points to fit the conclusion.
3) Make sure you have enough supporting points, and break it down into a few paragraphs. Find ways to make sure the sentences are as even as you can.
4) You can summarise the entire essay into the conclusion, then say if you agree or disagree.
In modern society, many countries suffer from increase in from high unemployment. Some countries insist that offering primary education is enough for students who lack the abilities because there would not be enough jobs which require a high education in the future to seek for a job in the future. Despite the jobs of the future will require highly educated people, there are some countries which are not able to catch up with technology. Therefore a large section of the work is still done by people who only have primary level education. However, to improve the lives of people, it is necessary to produce a large number highly educated students, which will in turn create more jobs. Therefore, I strongly disagree with the view that only a primary level education is enough because the country cannot create enough jobs to employ more people. because it It is unfair and unreasonable to make such a perfunctory statement.
Firstly, the purpose of studying is not only for finding a job, but also a long process to develop people's knowledge and awareness about everything around them. In fact, only primary education is not enough for children to grow up comprehensively. If the aim of their life is just to earning money, then they may turn to crime because they lack of knowledge to decide what is right or wrong things. Higher education also allows people to see a future. This future is not manual work such as farming work, where people have to be under the sun for hours everyday with no rest. The future is a bright future, where they will be able to work in an air conditioned office, and have a higher salary than before. When there is enough highly educated people, then maybe in future the hard work will be done mainly by robots.
(... continued from above)
Although there is no evidence to show that an education will guarantee a job in the future, having no education will guarantee there will never be a job for anyone in modern society. It is unfair to stop others from studying further because of uncertainties in the future recognition. In fact, many people who graduated primary school are just children (around 10 to 12 years old), so I cannot imagine that they should find a job at this age, and in Vietnam people must to have a minimum high school certification if they want to be a worker. There are very few jobs these days that require no education. The only jobs available would be both dangerous and hard work.
In conclusion, pupils should be provided with a higher education, which may help them improve themselves and contribute more to the society. If the workers are just primary education level workers, then the country can never improve. And when the country cannot improve, then the country will be stuck in the past. When the education level of the workers is high, then there will be many more opportunities to find work, and the country will improve. Therefore, I agree that only when the country is full of highly educated people, then there will be less unemployment, and there will be enough jobs for everyone.
