15- Nowadays almost every student who graduates from high school tries
to attend college or university.
Why do you think people attend college or university?
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Entering higher education is nowadays regarded as one of the most important
aims of most teenagers in Iran, it is indeed considered so essential that most
teenagers, upon
graduation from high school, take the university entrance
examination which is administered annually in the hope that they can pass it and
enter university. Of course they have many different reasons for sitting
the test
many of which are not educational purposes.
I believe most students struggle for success for occupational purposes. I mean
they would like to have better employment opportunities with a higher salary;
consequently, their favorite field of study is usually based on market demand.
They are fond of the specialties that are in higher demand in society. Another
reason for entering college and university is achieving a higher social status.
Holding a university degree is these days associated with a relatively superior
status.
There are also some teenagers who try to keep up with the Joneses; they do not
have any justifiable
reason for their decisions; however, they do so since they
do not want to fall behind others. Some other teenagers study their lessons hard
to pass the university entrance exam since they are forced to. It is an obligation
imposed on them by their parents to which they have to conform.
On
the other hand, there are many others who prefer to extend their education
for some better reasons. There are teenagers who continue their studies in
order to
broaden their knowledge; they try to obtain academic, professional
knowledge in their favorite fields, they love their major and
try to obtain as much
information in the field as possible.
In conclusion, I believe each single teenager may have his or her reason for
entering college or university, and a reason that may or may not seem
convincing for others.
