题目
很多人认为教育正在贬值。你是否同意这种说法？
Many people think that education is losing its value. Do you agree or disagree?
The number of college students is increasing yearly despite the increasing tuition fees, which are clearly beyond the means of low income families. This kind of investment in terms of time and money seems to have given sufficient proof to the value of college education. Yet, it is feared that education, or at least college education, is “devaluating".(（使）贬值, v)
The claim can be justified only in a narrow sense. It is true that college graduates are experiencing trouble landing decent（体面的, adj） jobs and that the financial return of the investment in college education seems to be declining. It is also said that many students play truant(逃避责任者，n) regularly and only cram(填满, v) before final exams. They attend a university only to get a degree or even to have a good time. Yet, all these are simply the students' own fault or that of poor education quality. A good educations is always invaluable.
College is a place where once can pursue（追求, vt） one's own interests. There are professors to guide and inspire you; there are laboratories to provide first-hand experience; there are numerous books waiting to be perused(细读， v). Prior to college, students often focus on acquiring a general knowledge of various subjects, but college allows them to dive into their majors. Deep and enduring interest can never be cultivated(有教养的， adj) by merely scratching the surface. Besides, students are grouped with like-minded classmates, the interaction with who adds impetus to their academic pursuit. By talking, sharing and cooperating with one's peers, one often gets inspired and encouraged and acquires a different perspective.
Education can bring personal improvement in ways other than scholastic achievement. Look at the huge difference between the educated and illiterate. Education is not merely the imparting of knowledge but also the cultivation of the mind, with the latter being more intangible and subtle(敏感的&微妙的，adj). The uneducated tend to be ill-mannered rude or even vulgar. We acquire our moral sense when we are taught the heroic deeds of great men and the atrocities(暴行，n) caused by evil ones. Left to ourselves, we often subscribe to the pragmatic view of 'ends justify means' and regard nobility and sacrifice as hypocritical(伪善的，adj).
Therefore, instead of losing its value, education will become all the more essential in a world where we are in danger of being overwhelmed by the conflicts and competitions among ourselves.
