Answer 1:

Education is basic need for human being. Currently, particularly in developed countries, the majority of people are going to university. There are various reasons that encourage them to continue their study. In my view, there is not single explanation why people choose to attend in university or college. This notion based on my experience as university student in economics.

In my university faculty, the Faculty of Economics and Business, they provide three programs which are economics, management, and accounting. For the first one, the student is designed and prepared more in academic career, for instance like researchers and lecturer. Thus, the student's motivation in this major mostly for either career preparation or to enrich their skill in economics. While for management and accounting, the motivation of student is mainly for career preparation.

On the other hand, as far as I know, many Master of Business Administration (MBA) student take their study for strengthen their business networking instead of increased their knowledge. Many of them have already enough theories of business. In fact, they have been running a concrete business or have been working in private sector years. Taking the MBA Program is the one of their strategy to make their business get more network and help their their business to grow up.

In general, people has their own motivation and aspiration taking their study in university. There is not single reason behind these action. In fact, nowadays, many universities catch this opportunity as their strategy to attract the prospectus by provide many types or program that suit for each different motivation. Indeed, providing the knowledge is one of main job of the university, but for what and how the knowledge used is all on the user decision.



This is my exercise answer. Yes, it's totally awful. :p  Please, give me your comment below and show me which part of my sentence is wrong or has grammatical error. Thank you..


Example 1:

University as a significant cultural force has brought itself to wide recognition and undeniable high social status; there, studying in a university is considered one of the most important and valuable experiences in one's life and it has become a drama of people to attend university. It is true that various benefits can be given why people want to attend university, but in my opinion, what urges people to do so is the new experience in college and reasons are given below.

There are numerous new experiences after attending college and I would in here explain a few of the most  important ones.First of all,the procedure of studying impressed us as a radically different experience. Unlike the serious way of learning in high school,we can acquire all kinds of knowledge through attending lectures,discussing with classmates or professor,seeing scientific films.It can be given a concrete example that a history lecture given by one of my favorite professors. He organized the class in an enjoyable atmosphere with his satiric remarks. Soon the class seemed to be over almost as soon as it started.For the first time I found that history could be so interesting.

Another very strong argument for my opinion is that the university provides us with an enjoyable atmosphere of activities  Associating with different people on campus, discussing with a variety of people over a sensitive topic and reading in the quiet library can strongly shape us inclination ,mature our thoughts,wide our horizon and enrich our personality.These experiences are more important than the limited knowledge obtained in your textbooks. And if you lose the opportunity to enter college or university ,you never understand why so many people desire for campus life. How regretful it would be!

So as I see it, though university can also provide us with career preparation and increased knowledge ,they can be obtained by other means. However,the new experience on campus is a unique aspect of the campus cultural. If we want our lives in university unforgettable ,cherishing the new experience provides the key
