Во странах образование играет очень важную роль. Престижный вуз, хороший диплом – это высокооплачиваемая работа в будущем. Согласны ли мы со этим?

школьники после школы хотят поступить в университет. нужно сдавать экзамены и учиться от зари до зари. Посмотрите, какие конкурсы во вузах: и в нашей стране, и во мире. В общем, известно, что учиться надо жизнь.

Я думаю, что сдать экзамены и поступить в университет - это только начало, потом надо пройти курсы, изучить предметы, продолжить учёбу в магистратуре, а потом, может быть, в аспирантуре.

Это значит провести своё свободное время в библиотеке, на встречах со профессорами, и сидеть перед компьютером или за книгами. Плюс ко , это может быть дорогим удовольствием. Не секрет, что университеты в США, а сегодня и по России, платные. Это значит, что за обучение, как и за , надо платить.

In all countries, education plays a very important role. A prestigious university and a good diploma mean a well-paid job in the future. Do we agree with all this?

All schoolchildren want to go to university after school. Everyone needs to take and pass exams and study from dawn to dusk. Look at the selective competitions in all universities: both in our country and in the whole world. In general, everyone knows that you need to study all your life.

I think that passing all the exams and entering the university is just the beginning, then you need to take all the courses, study all the subjects, continue your studies in the master's program, and then, maybe, in post-graduate school.

This means spending all your free time in the library, meeting with all the professors, and sitting in front of the computer or reading books. In addition to all this, all this can be expensive/lit. pleasure. It is no secret that you need to pay for all universities in the USA, and today throughout Russia too. This means that you have to pay for your education, like for everything else.
