II. Topic: why do people want to go on university education?
People study in college or university for many different reasons. I think the most important reason is
to gain more knowledge and learn more skills. Of course, there are also many other reasons that people

study in college such as to get more friends, and increase one's self-confidence.
These days, most jobs require people who are educated and have good job skills. Therefore, the
people who want a good job have to study hard and at least graduate with a high education. Furthermore,
as technology advances all over the world, more and more education is required of people.
Some people who study in college or university want to make more friends and increase their
interpersonal skills. They enjoy their lives in university or college and tend to socialize a lot. They can meet
more people who have the similar interests with themselves. They can go to university after school and make
more friends who they trust.
The people who graduate from college seem more confident in our community. These people are
more respected by society. Many people want to be respected and to be important by family, friends, their
bosses, and others in their lives. They find that most of them can confidently talk and do their jobs as they
are more educated. Therefore, most people want to get the confidence through the university or college
study. In today's society, people need more knowledge and skills to be adapted. The university and college
study is a good way to achieve this.
