高考利弊 Pros And Cons of College Entrance Examination

College Entrance Examination is one of the most important matters for Chinese people. We can nearly say that no other things can cause such attention in the whole society. Some people support it while others are strongly against. The following advantages and disadvantages are their reasons.

高考對中國人來說是最重要的事情之一。我們幾乎可以說沒有什麼事能夠引起全社會如此關注。有些人支持這一觀點，而其他人則強烈反對。以下優點及缺點是他們的理由。

The supporters say that College Entrance Examination is fair to select of talents. Because everyone is equal before the marks and that makes the College Entrance Examination fair. Besides, the preparation for the university entrance exam process hones the adolescents' will and endurance which has meaningful influence on future development. Moreover, by the examination, the level of education can be improved to a certain degree. Last, it's a good chance for rural students to change their economic status.

支持者認爲高考對選擇人才來說是公平的。因爲每個人在分數面前都是平等的，這使得高考是公正的。除此之外，高考的準備過程鍛鍊青少年的毅力和耐力，這對他們以後的發展產生有意義的影響。另外，通過考試，教育水平可以在一定程度上得到提高。最後，這對農村的學生來說是一個改變他們的經濟地位的

However, the arguers say that the disadvantages can not be ignor. Firstly, different regions have different admissions policies which results in the areas of discrimination. There is more fierce competition in the densely populated provinces. Secondly, scores and diplomas do not equal ability, and college entrance decided by too much emphasis on scores may lead tohigh scores but poor ability. Finally, a college diploma is increasingly worthless. More and more universities are established to accept more college students compared with the past, and so more and more students are graduating from the universities every year. However, with the financial crisis, many companies began layoffs, thus causing fewer and fewer jobs to be available.

然而，反對者認爲，高考的缺點也不容忽視。首先，不同的地區有不同的招生政策，這將導致該地區的歧視。在人口密集的省份競爭更加激烈。其次，分數和文憑不等於能力，過分強調分數的高考可能導致高分低能現象。最後，大學文憑越來越沒有價值了。與過去相比，越來越多的大學被建立以接收更多的大學生，因此每年有越來越多的學生從大學畢業。但是，由於經濟危機，很多公司開始裁員，這導致了可以得到的工作越來越少。

The two sides all have reasons to support their ideas. As far as I am concerned, the examination cann't be changed in short time, so that all we can do is accept it and figure out how to do can make it turn to a better direction.

雙方都有支持各自觀點的理由。在我看來，考試在短期之內不會改變，所以我們能做的就是接受它並想出怎樣做才能使之往更好的方向發展。
