IELTS Writtig Task №2 Essay №5
Some people believe that the primary goal of universities should be to provide information and skills needed for future work. Others however feel that the main objective of universities is to give students access to knowledge for its own values regardless if the information is useful for a job or not.
Knowledge is a great power in modern world. Universities provide information in a special learning environment, which help us to get much knowledge systematically. Some people think that knowledge which we get at universities we need for future job only, but the other people suggest that information has its own worth and usefulness , not only for future job responsibilities. Although universities give an advanced professional education and provide knowledge for future professions, I strongly believe that universities should also give students valuable information as a foundation for thought processes and for cultivating student’s interest and intellectual curiosity.
Intelligent individuals can find solutions to any problem not only by using existing knowledge but also thinking. People face many problems in their lives, both in professional and everyday life. So to find solutions it is necessary to have knowledge, universities can be a part of it. People after universities should be able to get thinking about problems by using wide circles of information. Thought process is a foundation of developing in science, for example knowledge in chemistry helped Russian scientist Mendeleev to be very good chef. Therefore additional knowledge helps us to build a good thought process which is the part of higher education.
In universities people should like to learn, more information is a cause of student’s interest. Knowledge gives rise to new knowledge, it makes people be more intelligent and intellectual, that gives opportunities for students to realize in different professions. It is also a cause of student’s interest to gain more knowledge. For example many actors have another professions but it helps them to be good actors like stand up actors Pavel Volya who is a Russian language teacher. Knowledge provides erudition, it might help in different cases in reality.
Universities provide advanced education and of course it gives us skills and knowledge for future job but also universities make people more intelligent and erudite. We can’t know which information will be useful more or less but thought process and intellectual curiosity are usefulness for all time.
