【正确答案】    
Vocational Education or College Education

   The number of people who take the college entrance examination has been decreasing these years. Some people consider vocational education as an advantage to job-hunting, while others argue that a college diploma is more important.
   In my opinion, college education is more advisable for most people. First, college education is systematic and students can learn a lot in many aspects. Unlike vocational education, which always focuses on just one job skill, college education enables students to develop different potentials. Second, to obtain a higher degree, such as a master's degree, one has to go through college education to get a bachelor's degree first.
   All in all, in a society where any job skill may become outdated quickly with the appearance of new technologies, the limitations of vocational education is more and more obvious. Only college education can prepare us for future challenges.

职业教育还是大学教育

   参加高考的人数这几年一直在下降。有些人认为职业教育对找工作更具有优势,而另一些人则认为一个大学文凭更重要。
   在我看来,对大多数人来说,大学教育是更可取的。首先,大学教育更系统,学生可以在许多方面学到很多。与只关注工作技能的职业教育相比,大学教育更可以激发学生不同的潜能。第二,以获得更高的学位,如一个硕士学位,你必须得先获得一个大学教育的学士学位。
   总之,随着新技术的不断出现,社会中的任何工作技能可能很快会过时,职业教育局限性显得越来越明显。只有大学教育可以为未来的挑战做好准备。
