Academic Qualifications and Career Success People’s opinions differ as to whether or not it is necessary to have a university or college degree before starting to build a career. While someone think it more important to gain working experience as soon as finishing school, I still believe that university education has an irreplaceable role to play for a successful career. Some people think that working experience accounts more when one is seeking employment, as he/she can gain practical skills and deal with certain situations that will occur in workplace, which the book knowledge taught by teacher at university may never tell. For example, a career beginner can have a better grasp of the technique of communicating with clients and crisis management skills only after he/she has already encountered these situations and learnt lessons from precedents or failures. Moreover, as soon as one has entered the workforce, he/she starts expanding his/her profession circle, which is of remarkable importance in one’s career trajectory but is hard to have when one is still on campus. On the other hand, however, university or college education gives students further knowledge specialized in a certain field, presents them abilities of continuous learning and critical thinking, and enlightens them to have various perspectives on life and things, which make them a complete person and guarantee their further development. These are mainly realized by the different forms of studying provided by institutions, including group discussion, workshop and seminar, by which students can communicate and cooperate with their classmates, brainstorming ideas and getting inspired by their peers. To conclude, although entering the workforce straightly after school does allow individuals more time to gain working experience and profession links, I still believe that university education benefits one’s career trajectory in a long term.

Socializing Online The prevalence of internet and social media has dramatically altered people’s socializing habits in modern societies, especially city dwellers. Without the necessity of meeting each other in person, this new way of making friends has brought in convenience but also a lot more drawbacks. It is undeniable that online socializing benefits people by saving their time, as they can send and reply to messages of their friends whenever they want and wherever they are, using their mobile devices like cellphones, ipads and personal computers. For example, people can socialize with others even when they are on a subway or train, or are waiting in a queue, making the most of their time with no need to set aside specific time hanging out with friends. This is especially preferred by young people now, who normally lead a fast pace of life and need to utilize their fragment time in an optimal way. On the other hand, however, this means of socializing is virtual and sometimes illusory, as people can easily hide their authentic personalities in the virtual world and manifest fake figures instead. If people just talk with a friend online and get to know him/her through the pictures and information posted on the social network without spending time with them in the reality, it would be hard for this person to tell the true character of his friend. Moreover, there might be a situation that two persons can get along well with affinity online, but become strangers and do not know how to act in the real world. This is because their socializing ability has degraded with the increasing use of online social media. To conclude, although socializing online may meet some people’s need for making friends effectively, I still believe that it cannot reach the same effect as making friends in reality does, and it retards the establishment of genuine and long-lasting friendships.

Children Should Be Given Homework The necessity of giving homework to pupils has long been discussed. While I believe that homework is indispensable in children’s education, I agree that the amount of assignments should be controlled properly. People who are against the arrangement of homework concern that these tasks take up the time that children could have spent on enjoying their childhood time, and may also impose enormous burden on them. Children have rights to have fun in their after-class time, playing with toys or pets or on the beach, forming affinity with nature. Homework, however, prevents them from doing these things, binding them in front of the desk. Moreover, it is crucial for children to cultivate creativity and imagination during their formative period, and there is no doubt that the best way to do so is by giving them opportunities to see the possibilities of this world that they are curious about, instead of forcing them to answer the question which normally have only one correct answer. On the other hand, however, there are people arguing that homework is the optimal way to examine these young students’ studying effect at school, and that is why this study pattern is always adopted from hundred years ago to now. Pupils may not be able to have a complete grasp of the knowledge taught in class, and they may even not be aware of that, and homework is an effective means to inform them of this. Homework that is associated with certain subject knowledge provides them with chances to deepen their memory and understanding of the knowledge. If they do not have homework, they may never review what they learn after school. To conclude, there are compelling reasons for giving homework to , however, it should be controlled to a proper amount in order to allow them enough free time to enjoy their childhood.
