Example Essay (Jeenn Lee Hsieh):
Slogan:"Economy matters a lot and education pays off in the long run." With these words in mind, it is easier as well as more rewarding for people to get an education now than in the past. Obviously, both the recent economic improvements and the future economic successes are factors that contribute to making more people better educated for higher employability and better wages.
To start with, education in modern society is meant to be beneficial to as many persons as possible rather than to just a lucky few ones. In this sense, it may partly be the fruits of the dramatic economic changes in the past decades, and partly the reflection that the ability to read and write is more demanding these days. Therefore, in order to educate more people to meet the forth-coming economic challenges, new schools and colleges are being established and old ones are being expanded. The logic is simple. The more economy develops, the more investments there are in education, and the easier it is for people to become better educated. The significance of education in today's economy reveals the big picture that education at all levels is largely available, even though sometimes higher education may not be entirely affordable.
That picture supports the correlation between educational attainment and employment potentials. Although an education has always been an advantage, it is more valuable now than before. The panorama is like a virtuous cycle brought about by the economic improvements along with better living standards. The more people are educated, the better are their chances of getting hired, and the more likely they are to earn more, which in turn makes it easier for them to send their children to and through university education. Further, as the job market has become more competitive with each passing decade, the number of people with bachelor's degrees or higher has increased. Likewise, it is evident that as the economic rewards continue to increase, so will the number of people seeking those rewards, of course.
In the context of the economic improvements and economic rewards, an education has not only been valuable but also has become easily accessible. When it comes to combining money and learning, more is better and better is more; so people now are easier to become educated. Paradoxically, for that matter, just as the causes may lead to the effects, the effects may also lead to the causes. (Essay created by 谢振礼 Jeenn Lee Hsieh, 猫头鹰在线写作实验室ielts360toefl@hotmail.com )
