Students Use of Computers

Students tend to use computers more and more nowadays. Reading this chart, we can find that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than 2 hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost 4 hours; while in 2000, the number soared to 20 hours.

Students Use of ComputersObviously computers are becoming more and more popular. There are several reasons for this. First, computers facilitate us in many aspects of life. Also, the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers. We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet. Besides, the prices of computers are getting lower and lower, which enables more students to purchase them.

Students Use of Computers

Along with the time spent on computers, there arise some problems. The most serious one is that many students are spending so much time playing PC games so that they ignore their studies. It is urgent to let the students use computers in a proper way.

本周练习： Education Pays

本周练习： Education Pays

As is shown above, the bar chart clearly

demonstrates the relationship between the

education level and earning in 2010. It is

obvious that well-educated people such as

owning Doctoral degree and Master's degree

have a high salary than those who have

relatively low degree. For instance, the

college students with no degree get paid $719

per week whereas those with a professional

degree can earn 50% more than them.

Isolated as the figure seems to be, as a

matter of fact, we can observe that the higher

level of education you receive, the higher

income you get.

However, People’s opinions about

investment in education differ from person to

person. Some people say that knowledge

could no longer change destiny. To them, it

is not only a waste of money, but also a

waste of time.

Others deem that education is worthy of

investment. As for me it is no doubt that

education offers favorable working

opportunity and handsome income, which

enable us to buy what we want ,please

what we love, and fulfill what we dream,

and correspondingly we are able to build

an ideal paradise where life can be enjoyed

to the uttermost.

In conclusion, we should realize

significance of education, which plays

a crucial role in personal growth of

career. In addition, it is convinced that

education is the prospect of a nation.
