[寫作班] 托福第39週 (muffinman, 1)
This is what I wrote yesterday, so the topic is of thirty-eighth week instead
of thirty-ninth week.
1. If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would
you change?
I will be willing to change our education system. Our education system is not as diverse as foreign countries. There are problems in our education, more precisely, higher education. There are so many new-established universities that almost every high school student ends up attending universities. Everyone thinks it necessary to enter a college that study appears to be the most important thing for the youth. So, it’s essential to change this prevailing view.
Changing people’s money-oriented thoughts is a fundamental first step. The preoccupation of the parents in Taiwan is the possibilities to get a good salary. Therefore, whether their children have interests in their study is unimportant. From their point of view, the best majors are business administration, finance or computer science which will be the priority for the employers. Being at a cram school is a popular activity for students. The phenomenon is a result from the money-oriented attitude. Only
by altering public belief in money would make possible a reasonable education system.
On the practical side, I would take a tough measure in educational system if I were the government. First, the qualification to enter a university must be enhanced. The expansion of private schools seems to make university as a part of compulsory education. However, it would be meaningless for the youth to extend their learning stage just for getting a degree. Second, the financial support of the government for private universities which enroll student from a low score must be cut. If the private schools
lose their funds, it could be difficult for them to carry on. Ultimately, government mustn’t acknowledge the diploma from the new-built private schools. In this way, the schools might lose their reputation. That is the bottom line.
We ought to keep it in mind that university is for one who is eager to seek truth for truth sake. Therefore, reforming higher education will be the thing that I want to change in my country the most.
