My View on the Post-graduate Craze
Every year, millions of college students attend the post-graduate entrance examination. An increasing number of students have regarded the pursuing of a master's degree as an indispensable part of their education. What is to account for their enthusiasm for a post-graduate diploma?
First, it is the demand of the society. In an age of knowledge updating and information explosion, what you have learned in college can hardly meet the demand of society. Talents of high quality who are equipped with the latest knowledge and skill will be needed more. That is why many students will further their studies. Second, we all recognize that the more education you have, the more likely you are to succeed. Compared with those without a master's degree, masters will enjoy more preferential treatment. Last but not least, with the graduation of a large number of college students, competition for jobs becomes more and more fierce.
In conclusion, one way to gain some advantages over others in our society is to have a higher degree. No wonder millions of students will consider pursuing a post-graduate degree. (180 words)

我對考研熱的看法
每年均有數(shù)以萬計的大學(xué)生考研。越來越多的學(xué)生將攻讀碩士學(xué)位視為教育不可或缺的一部分。是什么導(dǎo)致了他們對研究生學(xué)位的狂熱呢?
首先是社會需求。在這個知識更新與信息爆炸的年代，你在大學(xué)中所學(xué)的幾乎無法滿足社會的需求。社會更需要那種新知識與新技術(shù)兼?zhèn)涞母呒壢瞬?。這就是許多學(xué)生選擇繼續(xù)深造的原因。其次，我們都意識到，你受教的育程度越高，成功的可能性就越大。相比那些未獲得碩士學(xué)位的人，碩士們將享受更好的待遇。最后，很重要的一點是，隨著大批大學(xué)生畢業(yè)，職業(yè)競爭也愈演愈烈。
總而言之，在我們的社會中，想要比他人更有優(yōu)勢的一種方法就是擁有更高的學(xué)歷。無怪乎成千上萬的學(xué)生考慮繼續(xù)攻讀碩士學(xué)位。
