托福作文写作范文详解 题目：Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer.

It seems in recent years the opinion swings from one extreme to the other. As far as I am concerned, giving access to knowledge is a more important function of a university. （首段开篇摆明观点:大学的主要作用应该是传授知识） One of the compelling arguments for universities providing graduates with expertise for their future careers finds its origins in economics. Parents have been investing in their children’s college studies in hope that they will earn a decent job with stable salary. Consequently, career preparation is becoming increasingly vital to the young people, especially in today’s tight labor market with fewer jobs than before. Some people thus have called for universities to be more vocation‐oriented because that way not only the graduates’ employment rates would be enhanced but the students be motivated for being given an opportunity to succeed in their future professions. （本段是文章第二段从观点的反面客观辩证地论述） However, reaching the conclusion that other functions, such as giving access to knowledge for its own sake, are no longer important is biased. For hundreds of years, especially in the west, the undergraduate education is, indeed, a liberal education, which means the undergraduates learn a wide range of curriculums such as psychology, economics, politics that has no direct relations to jobs. The upside of this is that it firstly enables students to become broad‐minded and help them lay a solid theoretical foundation, and then they will be able to choose the most appropriate field based on their own interests for further studies. As long as students master how to gain knowledge, it is easy for them to know whatever they want to learn. （从观点正面进行论述：本科生教育都是通识教育，传授知识可以使学生变得开明） Personally, without suggesting that imparting career‐oriented knowledge and skills is the sole function of modern universities, I think it is by no means a less important one. Giving access to knowledge is a more essential and fundamental function of a university. （全文总结重申观点） 满分要素剖析： 语言表达 本文语言简单、直接，用词准确，使用 consequently, however 等连接词使条理非常清晰；从反面让步，再转向正面论述，使得论证更加全面、客观。 One of the compelling arguments for universities providing graduates with expertise for their future careers finds its origins in economics. 句型 One of the compelling arguments for…finds its origins in…可用于议论文中摆出论据。 Some people thus have called for universities to be more vocation‐oriented because that way not only the graduates’ employment rates would be enhanced but the students be motivated for being given an opportunity to succeed in their future professions.
