injured 受伤的 during a weight lifting accident and his leading European doctors predicted 预测 that he would never walk again Not believing them he went back to Bishnu Ghosh s school for he knew that his

famous in the West than in the East D D In the past degrees 学位 were very unusual I remember the day when my uncle graduated and we had a huge party For many years my mother called him the genius Today five of my brothers and sisters have degrees However today some people think this increased chances of education is devaluing 使 贬值 degrees In this essay I will discuss whether further education is important People have several arguments against the need for degrees They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree People lose respect for the degree holder It is also thought that education has become a a ratrat racerace with many graduates competing for the same job Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible 不灵活的 Employers prefer more flexible workers However I feel strongly that having more education is a positive development In the past education was the only way to be rich and powerful Now almost everyone has a chance to receive education and this will have many advantages for the country and the people First of all it is impossible to be overeducated The more people are educated the better the world will be because people will b e able to discuss and exchange ideas much more easily A further point is that people with degrees have much more opportunities They can take more kinds of jobs and do what they enjoy doing In conclusion although there are some problems with increased levels of education I feel strongly that the county can only progress when all the people are educated 77 The underlined words in
