You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

Some people say that the purpose of education is to prepare individuals to be useful to society. Others say its purpose is to prepare individuals to achieve personal ambitions.

【话题分类】

教育类

【题目解析】

题目大意：一些人认为教育的目的是让个体变得对社会有用。另一些人认为教育的目的是让个体能够实现个人的理想。讨论双方观点并给出你的看法

【思路分析】

本题考查教育的目的，从难度上来讲并不是很高。教育的目的具有个体性与社会性，目前比较公认的看法是双方观点的结合。国家会考虑发展的需要去安排相应的课程以及强调相应的社会理念和价值体系，同时也会注重开发个体的各项能力，让个体在身体、心理等各方面得到发展。

【写作思路】

开头段：对题目进行改写。

主体第一段：说明教育对于国家发展而言的意义，支持教育使个体对社会有用这一观点。

主体第二段：说明教育对于人的发展的重要作用，支持第二个观点。

结尾段：表明个人立场，说明两种目的的兼顾与平衡是更重要的。

【参考范文】

The purpose of education has long been a topic of debate. Some argue that education should primarily serve the nation by moulding students into responsible members of society. Others emphasise the individual's role in education, focusing on personal growth and development.

On one hand, education plays a pivotal role in a country's progress and development. It instills social norms and moral values in the younger generation, ensuring that they adhere to societal rules and become responsible citizens. Moreover, education equips students with essential knowledge and skills necessary for employment and contributing to society. Numerous studies have demonstrated the close relationship between a well-educated workforce and a nation's economic advancement, which explains the significant investments in education made by nations worldwide, whether developed or developing.

On the other hand, education undeniably fosters personal growth, an ideology that prevails in many countries' educational philosophies. Through education, individuals develop their personality and attitudes, acquire vital skills and capabilities for managing their lives, including specific knowledge, interpersonal skills, moral principles, and a broader perspective on the world. The education process helps individuals discover their interests and unlock their potential, enabling them to make informed choices for their personal well-being. In other words, education facilitates the development in physical and mental aspects, making individuals ready for the world.

From my perspective, education serves both these purposes, and most countries strive to strike a balance between them when formulating education policies and regulating educational systems. Education, first and foremost, shapes an individual's character and equips them with essential survival skills in society. At the same time, these well-educated individuals are citizens and contributors to their country, necessitating consideration of the nation's and society's interests. Therefore, I firmly believe that the aim of education is twofold, and neglecting either dimension would be unwise. A holistic approach to education acknowledges the dual role it plays.
