Knowledge and Diploma

It is generally believed that a high diploma guarantees a promising future. Some people identify high diplomas with profound knowledge and exceptional competence. Companies also tend to emphasize the academic achievement of a job candidate. Like it or not, there does exist a social reality—the higher diploma one gets, the more popular he becomes.

On the contrary, other people claim that a high diploma doesn’t automatically translate into knowledge. A diploma, in their eyes, is only the acknowledgment of one’s educational experience rather than a guarantee of one’s ability. Therefore, we can never measure the depth of one’s knowledge by the grade of one’s diploma. Besides, many knowledgeable people don’t have a high diploma. Take Bill Gates for example. His dropping out of college cannot deny the fact that he is one of the world’s most learned men.

So I must say no one should ever equate a diploma with knowledge, because a diploma is nothing but a proof of a short-term study while genuine knowledge needs one’s lifelong devotion
In recent years, the volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people, especially among youngsters. According to a survey, in 2008, there were about 1,700,000 volunteers who offered service for Olympic Games. Actually, an increasing number of people become volunteers every year in China.
Volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Olympic Games are a good example. As is known to all, volunteers played an active role in Beijing Olympic Games. Without them, it would be a tough task to hold this un-precedent Olympic Games. Therefore, we can say that it was those volunteers who ensured the success of these games.
As modern college students, we should get actively involved in volunteering actions. By participating, we can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve our interpersonal skills and organizational ability. Undoubtedly, all of these are critical for our person growth. So, we should take this chance to learn and to grow.

Answer 1

知识和文凭

人们普遍认为,高文凭保证一个光明的未来。有些人识别高文凭用渊博的知识和非凡的能力。公司也倾向于强调学术成果的工作的候选人。不管你喜不喜欢它,确实存在着一种社会reality-the高级文凭课程的人能得到更受欢迎,他就成为什么。
相反,另一些人主张一个高文凭并不会自动转化为知识。一张文凭,在他们眼里,只有承认自己的教育经历,而不是一个保障一个人的能力。因此,我们永远不能衡量一个人的知识的深度由等级的文凭。除此之外,很多知识渊博的人没有一个高文凭。把比尔·盖茨为例。他辍学大学生不能否认这个事实,他是世界上最学识的人。
所以我必须说任何人不能等同与知识,因为一纸文凭文凭不过是一个短期的研究证明了真正的知识需要时一个人毕生的奉献
近年来,志愿精神中传播,中国人,特别是年轻人。根据调查显示,2008年,大约有以提供服务的志愿者为奥运会。实际上,越来越多的人成为志愿者,每年在中国。
做义工的巨大的利益都是那些真正有需要和社会。奥运是一个很好的例子。众所周知,慈济志工也起到了积极的作用,在北京奥运会。没有他们,那将是一项艰钜任务,持有这种un-precedent奥运会。因此,我们可以说,这是确保那些志愿者,这些游戏的成功。
作为当代大学生,我们也应该积极地参与义工服务的行为。通过参与,我们可以学习如何很好地工作在一个团队中,如何提高我们的人际交往能力和组织能力。毫无疑问,所有这些都是至关重要的在我们的人的成长。所以,我们应该抓住这个机会去学习和成长。

知识和文凭
It is generally believed that a high diploma guarantees a promising future.
人们普遍认为，高文凭预示着光明的未来。
Some people identify high diplomas with profound knowledge and exceptional competence. Companies also tend to emphasize the academic achievement of a job candidate. Like it or not, there does exist a social reality—the higher diploma one gets, the more popular he becomes.
一些人采用渊博的知识和出众的能力。企业同样也倾向于学术成果的候选人。无论你喜欢与否，都存在着这样的社会现实—你的文凭越高，你就越受欢迎。
On the contrary, other people claim that a high diploma doesn’t automatically translate into knowledge. A diploma, in their eyes, is only the acknowledgment of one’s educational experience rather than a guarantee of one’s ability. Therefore, we can never measure the depth of one’s knowledge by the grade of one’s diploma. Besides, many knowledgeable people don’t have a high diploma. Take Bill Gates for example. His dropping out of college cannot deny the fact that he is one of the world’s most learned men.
相反，另外一部分人认为，高文凭不能自动转化为知识。在他们眼里，一张文凭，只不过是一个人交与经历的证明，而不能保证一个人的能力。因此，我们不能通过文凭等级来判定一个人的知识。另外，很多有识之士没有高学历。比尔盖茨就是一个例子，他从大学辍学不能否认他是世界上最有学识的人之一。
So I must say no one should ever equate a diploma with knowledge, because a diploma is nothing but a proof of a short-term study while genuine knowledge needs one’s lifelong devotion。
所以，我必须说，任何人都不能将学历等同于知识，因为学历除了证明曾经的短时间的学习外一无是处，真正的知识需要一生学习。
