何钢写的03年9月13日议论文
It is right that college graduates earn higher salaries than the less well-educated in the community. But they should also pay the full cost of their study. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is commonly recognized that wages are the appropriate compensation for tasks completed or jobs successfully performed. Yet it is often the case that people with higher education have been offered more money than those without. I find it justifiable but do not share the opinion that college graduates should be fully responsible for their educational expenses.
It can be argued that some successful people do not have a college degree and yet are very wealthy and the success of many Hollywood movie stars as well as sports professionals can testify to this argument. However, people who have received college education can generally make a greater contribution to their employers and their country. As a result, compared with most high school graduates, they have higher salaries on average. Indeed, people without a college degree are usually insufficiently prepared or not well-trained to fit for the positions normally held by college graduates. Many high school leavers are thus restrained to menial jobs.
Besides, college graduates have made more sacrifices and spend more years studying than high school graduates. And a higher income is the ideal compensation for their efforts made and sweat shed. If the highly-educated does not have a higher, not to mention a lower, income, then people would be discouraged from entering the tertiary institution and so it may do harm to the national economy.
Some people would argue that since society gives college graduates more money, they need to pay their full cost of education as a return. Yet we should not ignore that many students come from average or even disadvantaged families. Without the financial aid from the university or the country, they may not be able to support themselves to complete their education. In addition, the attraction of a partly or fully funded college education can act as a driving force for students to aspire for higher education.
In summary, it is quite reasonable for the highly-educated to have a more handsome pay than the less well-educated and they should be financed in their college study.
题目中第一句话"It is right that..."的表达形式是一个“让步”，而后说的是否应该pay full cost of their study才应该是文章论述的焦点。可何老居然在第2，3两段论述大学毕业生earning higher salary is justifiable, 请何老师解释一下为什么。另外在无忧网上还有一篇写这个题目的文章，叫牛津学生的9分雅思作文，作者在文中居然用了很大篇幅论述“大学毕业生不一定就会有高收入”。唉！真让人闹不清到底应该怎么写了！此外，剑2的Test4中的大作文的例文的内容也有些令人匪夷所思。
