雅思作文范文【1】
Many young people are having a negative attitude to learning and this is true especially after their graduation. This essay will analyze some possible reasons for this and suggest potential ways to reverse the case.
The major reason is that students and sometimes even parents and teachers have a distorted recognition Of education. Many Of them believe that the purpose Of receiving education is simply to guarantee a future career and gaining a better chance of employment is the single goal that motivates them. But today even after having graduated from school, young people are not ensured Of a suitable job. They have witnessed examples of their seniors who are still struggling to find jobs and those who have found jobs are being underpaid and exploited.
Another important reason should be due to the fact that courses of study are often forced upon students and (their aptitudes and interests are barely taken into consideration. For example, a student who wants to make his or her career in the field of literature is forced to study be positive about his or evaluate the learning process, which should easily discourage the interests in learning. Unfortunately, test-wise students can often perform well on exams without having good underlying knowledge or skills. It is easy to notice that many teachers and learners focus only on those aspects of the curriculum to be tested; thus narrowing the educational experience for all.
However, there are several steps and actions that can be taken to bring back the attitude of young people. First and foremost, the whole education experience of students should be less examination-oriented and instead Of preparing them for the future tests, there should be a wide range of subjects to develop their interests and other skills. Also, students should be encouraged to become more involved in making their choices and plans in study, which would promote their motivation in a desirable way. Additionally, teachers and parents who need counseling in teaching and bringing up children should be supported by related authorities and organizations, such as offering them seminars provided by experienced professionals.

Many young people, once leaving school, have expressed their resentment (怨恨)toward learning, saying they will never get back to school. Then, what makes these young people hate their school life so vehemently(强烈地)?
There could be two reasons why this happens. First, today the students are surrounded by so many distractions(分心的事情)that they gradually find that learning is too boring and uninteresting. While students two decades ago had nearly no choice but sit in the classroom and read books, students today have easy and fastaccess(进入;使用)to Internet, on which they can do almost all things. For instance, they can play computer games, watch videos, search for any information they need, and chat with their friends, to mention just a few(如此等等). So, having been used to this kind of “easy” online life, many young people simply cannot put their heart into the more serious and consuming(耗费的)school work.
Another important factor that affects the students' attitude towards learning is that a good education seems not as important as before. For quite a long time, receiving a good education was the only way for young people to get a decent job and earn a high salary. But now, this is apparently(表面地;明显地)not the case any more. Influenced by business stars like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, many young people now begin to believe that one’s success is not in proportion to(与......成正比)the education s/he receives. The students, therefore, are not motivated enough to focus on their learning.
As education of the young is so important to the future of the world, we ought to find ways out of this embarrassing situation. For example, the school and parents should work together to set limits on the time children spend online and encourage them to devote more time to learning. Besides, young people should be made to understand that life is not just about making money, but about having rich and colorful experience and learning is the best gateway(通路)to that rewarding(有回报的)life.

Although the education level of the young generation is higher than before, most of them hold a negative attitude towards study especially after graduation. Some possible reasons as well as potential methods to tackle this issue will be analyzed and suggested in this essay.
There are three main reasons for this case, the essential one of which is that teachers and parents have distorted recognition of formal education. In their views, the object of acquiring academic knowledge, participating in community activities or competition is for achieving better grades that are prerequisites when applying for the prestigious university or decent job positions. Unfortunately, the result is often contrary to their expectations. There seems no indispensable relation between higher salary and diploma; the admission of first-tier university and a good GPA, which has been proved by the examples of senior students who are still struggling with competitors in the job market or undertaking a job with lower payment.
The second reason lies in the examination-oriented assessment system. Tests are widely used as the sole way to evaluate the learning process, which enormously demotivates students who are not adept at testing. Last but not the least, some students are forced to choose subjects that less interest them. In order to increase the possibility of attaining a stable job, they may major in engineering or medicine though art or literary is their sincere pursuit.
There are several practices and actions can be applied to reverse the negative attitude to learning. First and foremost, the development of personal all-round ability should be emphasized on. Apart from scores of exams, students’ aesthetic appreciation, athletic ability and moral integrity are supposed to be main items of assessment. In addition, it is necessary for government to promote the diversity of industries. Public funding or tax revenues can be allocated to support the artistic programs or archaeology which may have less relevant with economic growth but are ideals for certain students.
In conclusion, it is one’s attitude that determines his or her success. Only when students have enthusiasm about learning can they benefit from the knowledge they accumulated and skills they mastered.
