GRE作文是中国学生比较头痛的，经常准备很多时间最后还是只得到3.5。我之所以得到6分，个人认为我的文风比较淳朴扎实，有科学性，写的思路比较广(正、反、特)，字数也比较多(I800+、A700+)。
Yet, having benefited from the economic synergies which free trade and global financial
markets afford, and having seen the potential for progress technological revolution has
brought about, I think that the world's nations will be willing to assume those risks.
Issue 102
"The purpose of education should be to provide students with a value system, a standard, a
set of ideas---not to prepare them for a specific job."
Should educators teach values or focus instead on preparing students for jobs? In my view
the two are not mutually exclusive. It is by helping students develop their own principles for
living, as well as by instilling in them certain fundamental values, that educators best prepare
young people for the world of work.
One reason for my viewpoint is that rote learning of facts, figures, and technical skills does
not help us determine which goals are worthwhile and whether the means of attaming those
goals are ethically or morally acceptable. In other words, strong values and ethical standards
are needed to determine how we can best put our rote knowledge to use in the working world.
Thus, by helping students develop a thoughtful, principled value system educators actually
help prepare students for jobs.
Another reason for my viewpoint lies in the fact that technology-driven industries account for
an ever4ncreasing portion of our jobs. As advances in technology continue to accelerate,
specific knowledge and skills needed for jobs will change more and more quickly. Thus it would
be a waste of our education system to focus on specific knowledge and job skills that might
soon become obsolete--at the expense of teaching values. It seems more appropriate today
for employers to provide the training our work force needs to perform their jobs, freeing up our
educators to help students develop guiding principles for their careers.
Besides helping students develop their own thoughtful value systems, educators should
instill in students certain basic values upon which any democratic society depends; otherwise,
our freedom to choose our own jobs and careers might not survive in the long term. These
values include principles of fairness and equity upon which our system of laws is based, as
well as the values of tolerance and respect when it comes to the viewpoints of others. It seems
to me that these basic values can best by instilled at an early age in a classroom setting,
where young students can work out their value systems as they interact with their peers. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（49） 》一文，出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
