上大学就是因为能获得学位

　　the surprising fact that ! discovered during my first year at the university was that quite a big number of students were olely motivated by the academic degree they would obtain pon graduation. certainly, i would not go anywhere near so far as to doubt the social and economic value that a degree would bring to students in future. however, i deem it too narrow for students to maintain this kind of attitude towards their studies.

　　in my mind, university life contains many enjoyable things, such as new ideas, good books and brilliant people.and the pursuit of new ideas, the reading of good books and the campus friendship require a student's complete devotion but will shine in his whole life.probably this tendency is rooted in the vocation-oriented and the career-oriented motivation. if a student discovers his vocation, he finds a life-time pleasure in pursuing his profession. by contrast, a career-oriented student tends to take the academic certificate as an only means to preferment.

　　in conclusion, the umyerstty provides students with many golden opportunities,getting a degree being one of them. the chanenge of new ideas,the leisure to read and the chance to adds so much to the value of a degree.
