Some people say that university graduates should pay the full tuition because they can earn a higher salary than the less well-educated people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　Disagree: Firstly, students have no ability to pay the high tuition because they have no income. Their duty is to study, not to earn money. Secondly, high tuition may become a barrier for those in the undeveloped regions and the countryside to receive higher education. For instance, …… Finally, to provide opportunities to people is a government’s obligation, because education is the decisive factor of prosperity and strength. In order to offer education opportunities to more students, the government and the authorities concerned should make concerted effort to help them finish their education in the university through loans.

　　Sample writing:

　　Education plays an important role in a person’s career. With a view to finding themselves more opportunities, many students want to pursue higher education. However, some students cannot fulfill the dream of further study for short of money. As far as I am concerned, students should not pay the full tuition.

　　First of all, students have no ability to afford the high tuition Along with the commercialization of education, higher education is becoming a privilege of rich people. The students from the countryside and undeveloped areas are deprived of the right of education. Due to the high tuition, many excellent students have to give up study and strive to survive. If universities can enact some beneficial policy to the students in the poor areas, to help them accomplish their study, the students will make contributions to the society after graduation with the knowledge they have acquired at school.

　　In addition, government should take the responsibility to render students equal opportunities to receive higher education. It is a truth universally acknowledged that education is the driving force of the development of science and technology. A nation cannot become powerful without good education. The example of Japan gives us a very vivid illustration. Therefore, the government should subsidize students and provide financial support to the students, especially those who cannot afford the tuition.

　　However, I am not in favor of free higher education because this will exert very heavy pressure on a country’s economy. There are some feasible suggestions worth trying. For example, the government can coordinate with banks and provide educational loan to the students who need financial support. In this way, the students can complete their education without any burden and they can contribute a lot to the society afterwards. (290 words)
