1. 日本、德國都是戰(zhàn)敗國，戰(zhàn)后的迅速崛起很大程度上源自對于全民教育的重視。再窮不能窮教育，再苦不能苦孩子。

2. 1998年，朱镕基總理倡導(dǎo)“科教興國”，足見教育對于國家未來的影響。國家之間的競爭本質(zhì)上還是人才的競爭。

3. 如果高等教育可能培養(yǎng)的是社會精英，普及基礎(chǔ)教育的利好就是提高國民基本素質(zhì)。當更多的社會公民可以明辨是非、行為規(guī)范、自食其力、體面生存的時候，國家才會穩(wěn)定繁榮。

【范文賞析】

〖首段〗 背景介紹 + 作家立場

Education is one of the key words in one’s growth, a man without adequate education, most of us believe, will be deprived of the most precious opportunity of achieving personal goals, and thus become the victim of adversity. Imaginably, the more education one receives, the more chances one will seize to embrace a glorious future. In this sense, governments should finance secondary education.

〖二段〗 普及中學(xué)教育對于個人的利好

As for the representative of the interests of all citizens, every policy enacted by governments is supposed to benefit their taxpayers maximally. Every individual will become the beneficiary of free secondary education, especially for those who come from humble family background. To be well-educated will help one master the basic skills of earning a decent living, shake off poverty and even change his or her destiny.

〖三段〗 普及中學(xué)教育對于國家的利好

To popularize secondary education will greatly conduce to a country too, competitions amongst different countries, in essence, are the competitions among talents. Via offering social members the welfare of free middle school education, increasing numbers of people will have access to higher education, which means more gifted people or even social elites can be cultivated. It is conceivable that those well-educated social citizens will not only create immense economic value, but also inject fresh vitality into the further mightiness of a nation.

〖四段〗 普及中學(xué)教育可能的弊端及依然要支持的理由

Indeed, I have to concede that to put additional educational fund into providing citizens with schooling will inevitably impose economic pressure upon a government temporarily, especially when the governmental budget is tight or a nation suffers from economic downtown. What I want to emphasize, however, is that this policy will be beneficial to every country in the long run. More precisely, fine education can foster more law-abiding, well-behaved and patriotic social citizens, which will, in return, stabilize the society and prosper the economy.

〖尾段〗再次亮明觀點

To sum up, it is my stand that to support free secondary education will improve the basic quality of a nation’s population and benefit every social member, therefore, it is the unshakable obligation of the government to make efforts in subsidizing education of all levels.
