编辑点评： 很多参加GRE的考生在做GRE写作的时候都没有写提纲的习惯，这是非常不好的。提纲在GRE写作当中起到了至关重要的作用。从今天起，我们将对GRE issue进行分析，弄清写作思路，这样才能让GRE issue得高分。 It is primarily through formal education that a culture tries to perpetuate the ideas it favors and discredit the ideas it fears. 如果一个文化想要它认为好的理念永世长存而摈弃它厌恶的理念，主要是通过正规的教育。 正文： Admittedly it is true that any society hopes to perpetuate its culture and values by means of formal education, but this does not mean that formal education can really function best to this purpose as the society expects. The modern era is vividly characterized by its highly advanced formal educational system: almost every country in the contemporary world deems the education as the most important social section and allocates the largest part of public resources for the development of formal education. However, along with this unprecedented emphasis on the formal education, the modern society finds it more and more difficult to instill its favored ideas, values and traditions into its students and social members. For example,no country encourages its social members to divorce but the divorce rate all over the world has witnessed a striking increase since the 2nd World War. On the country, in the past society in which formal education was very backward and available to only a few people, the ideas and traditions that a culture values was much easier to be perpetuated from generations to generations. In some traditional society, many traditions have existed for even thousands of years while in the modern society everything changes rapidly and nothing can be safely regarded as permanent or having sustained values. |
