17、到一个更好的工(找到一个更好的工作)作).The majority of people want to improve their future career prospects(将来(将来职业前景)职业前景)and attending university is one of the best ways to do this asit increases a persons marketable skills(竞争力竞争力)and attractiveness to potential employers(潜在雇主)(潜在雇主).In addition,further education i
18、s very expensive for many people,so most would not consider it if it would not provide them with a more secure(安全的、(安全的、稳定的)稳定的)future and a higher standard of living(更高的生活水(更高的生活水平)平).Thus job prospects are very important.However,there are other benefits for individuals and society.Firstly,the inde
19、pendence of living away from home is a benefit because it helps the students develop better social skills(提高社交技能)(提高社交技能)and improve as a person.A case in point(一个恰当的例(一个恰当的例子)子)is that many students will have to leave their families,live in halls of residence and meet new friends.As a result,their

23、ing university and arguments have persisted as to(关于关于with regard to)whether students should pay for this privilege not.Although there are convincing arguments on both sides,I strongly believe that it should be free.One argument(which is)put forward in favour of charging students is that education i
24、s becoming more expensive to fund as universities grow in size.Consequently,making students pay may maintain standards and ensure the quality of the teaching.In addition,it is argued that most students benefit from university in terms of higher paid jobs,so it is fair that they pay for at least some
25、 of the cost,especially given that the majority of students attending university are from the middle classes.Last but not least,in many countries,there is a shortage of people to do manual jobs such as plumbing and carpentry,so making university more expensive may encourage people to take up these j
26、obs.However,there are a number of arguments in favour of making university education free for all.Firstly,it will encourage more people to attend and this will benefit society.This is because it will lead to a more productive and educated workforce.Research has generally shown that those countries t
27、hat have a better educated population via university have higher levels of innovation and productivity.In addition,there is the issue of equality of opportunity.If all students are required to pay,those on a low income may be dissuaded from(被阻止(被阻止/不能)不能)attending,thus making it unfair.The reason fo
28、r this is that they will likely not be able to secure financial support from their family so they will be concerned about the debts they will incur in the future.In conclusion,I am of opinion that all education should remain equally available to all regardless of income.This is not only fair,but wil

42、ver,concerns have been raised about the prolific use of(the proliferation of)computer games by children,much of this related to the violence they contain.The problem is that in many of the games children are rewarded for being more violent,and this violence is repeated again and again.For instance,m
43、any games involve children helping their character to kill,kick,stab and shoot.This may lead to increased aggressive feelings,thoughts,and behaviours.犯罪犯罪类素材类素材In order to minimize these negative impacts,parents need to take certain steps.Firstly,some video games are rated according their content,so
