Sample Answer
School Students Attending Foreign College
1) A very noticeable trend in the later part of the last century is the marked increase in the number of high school students going abroad for college education. According to the chart, in 2000, more than 7% of high school students going abroad, compared with 2.5% in 1995. Why do more and more high school students turn to foreign colleges? (為什么越來越多的中學(xué)生出國(guó)求學(xué)?通過數(shù)據(jù)引出這個(gè)現(xiàn)象)
2) The primary reason is that the current college education can”t meet social demands. As almost all Chinese parents want their children to go to college, there are far more candidates every year for the places colleges and universities can offer. The fierce competition forces some parents to send their children abroad for studies.(原因之一是國(guó)內(nèi)大學(xué) 滿足不了社會(huì)的要求)
3) The increased living standard in recent years makes this possible. As a considerable number of people, especially those in big cities, begin to get rich, studying overseas becomes financially feasible. Taking fierce competition and the soaring college cost in recent years into account, they decide that it is worthwhile having their children to get better college education abroad with a little more money.(生活水平的提高是另一原因)
4) Honestly,the advertising campaigns launched in China by foreign colleges and universities attract a quite number of parents. They are led to believe that their children will learn more things in foreign colleges. If they are to apply for jobs back home, the degree acquired abroad is more respected than the Chinese one.(國(guó)外大學(xué)的廣告做到家門口也是一個(gè)原因)
5) The trend that school students go abroad for college education reflect the high regard Chinese people have for higher education. It an be estimated that in the future, more and more school students will seek college education abroad.(歸納出根本原因是家長(zhǎng)對(duì)教育的重視)
