Knowledge and Diploma 文憑和知識 With the development of the society, more and more people enroll in the postgraduate examination for getting a high diploma. It is believed that high diploma equals to high ability and profound knowledge. Most panies are inclined to hire the people with high diploma. It seems that having high diploma means a better future. However, is it really true that high diploma equals to high ability or profound knowledge? Some people do not agree on this kind of idea. They claim that ability or knowledge means more than diploma. Take Bill Gates, the head of the Microsoft, for example, he does not have a MBA degree, which is believed to play a vital role in the success in mercial life. Furthermore, Sam Walton of WalMart Stores Inc. does not have a MBA degree, but he is one of the most successful men in mercial. In my opinion, diploma does not equal to knowledge. A diploma is a piece of paper that establishes your education degree. But your true ability and the real knowledge e from your hard work and endowment. If you got a diploma by dishonest behavior, no matter how high a diploma it is, it was just a piece of paper, and you were as blank as that paper. 2. The Importance of Education 教育的重要性 The prosperity of a nation depends on the development of education. Any development in science and technology throughout the world is due to the development of education that brings up scientists and inventors. It is difficult to emphasize just how important the role of education is. There is no doubt that countries with undeveloped education will remain poor. 2 Education is also vital to the development of an individual. Of all elements of success in our careers none is more important than education. It is not genius but the knowledge that makes the difference between success and failure. In fact most of the famous people of our times spent many years studying. Can you name any great men you admire who are not well educated? Some people, however, are still ignorant of the importance of education. Some parents, especially those in the countryside, think it unnecessary to send their children to school. Some parents have their children work for money at a very young age. In view of this, pulsory education must be enforced to see to it that every young people will be having the chance to receive adequate education. 3. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Dormitory Life 集體生活的利與弊 For most university students, dormitory life is a new experience. Most students have never lived far away from their parents before ing to university. They have always had their parents to depend on for advice and guidance, and when they bee university students, their lives begin to change. for their own action. They must depend on themselves to get up in the morning on time for class, to eat properly, to keep their clothes and themselves clean, and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and relaxation. They must also learn to take care of their money, making sure to preserve enough for both necessities and for fun. eneral, there are both good and bad points about life in student dormitory. Often, dormitory rooms are small and crowded. This lack of space can limit one’s privacy and make it difficult for students to concentrate on their studies. On the other hand, in a dormitory, students have a great deal more freedom than they might have at home. They can act according to their own will and desire than to that of parents. 4. Campus Activities 校園活動 Campus activities have been anized in many universities and colleges. These activities range from academic to recreational, such as academic reports, social consulting services, speech contests, poet’s club, painting clubs, singing and dancing groups, etc. These activities provide students with two major advantages.

Due to their heavy schedules, students are often busy themselves with textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the variety of the activit
