Trang 1What I have gained from University
Education
No country can afford to neglect the education of its
citizens Primary, secondary, and tertiary education
provides anyone with knowledge and skill, both being of
equal values in today’s human life Attending a university, I
have learned to study by myself, to think clearly, to
express what I want to say in a precise and condense
Trang 2manner, and to work well thanks to the knowledge and
experience accumulated through my training at university
My first benefit from tertiary education is the ability to learn
something by myself As you may know, self-study is a
must at university In addition to attending various classes,
I have to prepare for any of them; do a lot of reading, finish
all the required exercises and/or assignments, make
reports, do research, take part in seminars, etc These
activities gradually build up my habit of self-study This
habit allows me to work independently and creatively in
Trang 3whatever field I choose to get involved in because I am
able to gain further knowledge and skill through my own
study
Attending a university, I have also learned how to think
clearly and express myself briefly and precisely Time is a
crucial factor influencing all aspects of modern life More
and more people lead their lives in the fast lane To save
my time, I have to think as clearly and critically as I can
To save the precious time of the receiver of my message
whom I have an opportunity to communicate with, either
Trang 4orally or in the form of any written document, I always try
my best to guarantee that what I say is brief, relevant, and
clear enough to be understood immediately In other
words, I force myself to provide my listener or reader with
as much information as needed in such a way that both
my energy and his/her time and effort can be saved
Last but not least, I highly appreciate the knowledge and
skills I have acquired through a variety of courses at my
university Such knowledge and skill make me really
competent at my work in particular and get me ready for
Trang 5my long and hard struggle against all the other difficulties
and challenges in my own life in general Graduating from
a university, I have been well equipped with a good
education which a great number of Vietnamese youths
have ever dreamed of and aimed at Such an education is
the required invaluable foundation for me to climb up to
higher and higher strata in society
People may hold different views on education: it is only a
waste of time to some while to others it is one of the
inevitable/necessary factors strongly influencing their
Trang 6success or failure in life I belong to the second
group/type, highly valuing what tertiary education brings to
me Therefore, it deserves my great efforts to meet all its
requirements, the initial requirements of any well-educated
person
