　　Nowadays, with the advance of science and technology, an overwhelming proportion of population intends to study abroad. There are students from colleges and universities, from the middle schools, from the primary schools, and individuals from all walks of life. What difference does it make between studying abroad and studying home?

　　Though many students are crazy about going abroad to pursue their higher education, I hold to the belief that studying home is preferable. For one thing, you don’t have to take foreign language tests such as TOEFL and GRE. This can save you a tremendous amount of time, money and effort, allowing much of your energy to be devoted to your academic foals. In addition, if you study home, you can stay with your family and old friends. Meanwhile, while studying home, you can enjoy the kind of intimate friendship and comfortable family atmosphere which you can only dream of in a foreign university, where you will be accompanied by your own shadow most of the time. For these reasons, pursuing one’s higher education at home is a more realistic and sensible choice。

　　2. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Knowledge and Diploma. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

　　(1) 有人认为文凭越高越好；

　　(2) 而有些人则认为文凭不代表你的能力；

　　(3) 你的观点。

　　With the advance of the society, an increasing number of individuals enroll in the postgraduate examination for getting a high diploma. It is believed that high diploma equals to high ability and profound knowledge. Most companies are inclined to hire the people with high diploma. It seems that having high diploma means a better future。

　　However, is it really true that high diploma equals to high ability or profound knowledge? Some people do not agree on this kind of idea. They claim that ability or knowledge means more than diploma. Take Bill Gates, the head of the Microsoft, for example, he does not have a MBA degree which is believed to play a vital role in the success in commercial life. Furthermore, Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. does not a MBA degree, but they are the most successful man in commercial。

　　In my opinion, diploma does not equal to knowledge. A diploma is a piece of paper which establishes your education degree. But your true ability and the real knowledge come from your hard work and endowment. If you got a diploma by dishonest behavior, no matter how high a diploma it is, it were just a piece of paper, and you were as blank as that paper。
