Who Should Pay the University’s Tuition?

1. 大学学费不断上涨，有人认为大学学费应由学生自己赚取，有人认为应由父母供给。

2. 作为大学生，谈谈你自己的观点，并给出理由。

范文

University education plays an important role in a person’s career since it

offers people more opportunities. With the rising of university’s tuition, hot

discussions have arisen about who should pay the university’s tuition. Some

say students should pay fees by themselves as they pay for their own life.

Some think that tuition fees should be paid by their parents because that

amount of money is beyond students’ ability.

As far as I am concerned, I think parents should pay part of the fees while

university students bear the rest part. It is true that trying to make money will

affect university students’ studies. But doing part-time jobs will help them gain

working experience, learn more of society as well as realize the importance of

saving money. Most importantly, it helps to lighten financial burdens of

parents.

译文

大学教育中起着重要的作用，因为它给一个人的事业提供了更多的机会。随着大学学费的上涨，出现了关于谁应该支付大学的学费有热烈的讨论。有人说，学生应该支付的费用由自己支付自己的生活。一些人认为应该支付学费的父母，因为钱的数量超出了学生的能力。

就我而言，我认为父母应该支付费用的一部分，而大学生承担的其余部分。这是真的，想赚钱会影响大学生的学习。但是，做兼职工作可以帮助他们获得工作经验，了解社会以及实现节约钱的重要性。最重要的是，它有助于减轻父母的经济负担。

点评

文章第一段开门见山，指出关于谁支付大学学费的不同意见。第二段说明自己的观点——希望父母和孩子共同承担学费，这样有助于减轻家庭负担，学生也有机会通过社会实践获取更多社会经验。

第一段中With the rising of university’s tuition意为“随着大学学费的上涨”;be beyond one’ s ability意为“超出某人的能力范围”。第二段中gain working

experience意为 “获取社会经验”;lighten financial burdens意为“减轻经济负担”。
