大学学费是否应该完全自费

Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole. To what extent do you agree or disagree？

题目解读：

这个话题是围绕“大学学费是否应该完全自费的角度”展开的，很妙的是题目中设置了一个对应原因“大学生是大学教育的weiyi受益者”，所以建议学生们在写作这个话题的时候要考虑题目立场设定的狭隘性，回答的时候尽可能不选择题目内容的持方。

正方：大学生应该支付所有的学费因为他们是大学教育的weiyi受益者。

原因1：受过大学教育的人比没有接受过大学教育的人未来薪酬待遇更高，所以他们支付所有的教育费用是很合理的。

It is justifiable for university graduates to pay the full tuition because they can earn a higher salary than the less well-educated people.

原因2：受过大学教育的人比没有接受过大学教育的人未来就业机会更多，所以他们支付所有受教育费用也是正常的。

People who attend university usually benefit through greater opportunities; therefore, it is logical to expect them to fully fund their own education.

反方：大学生不应该支付所有的学费因为除了他们还有其他群体也受益于大学教育。

原因1：政府受益于大学教育远多过于学生本身，所以要求学生支付全部学费是很荒谬的。

It is absurd to place all the costs of higher education onto the students as the entire society gets more benefits than the education-receivers themselves.

原因2：不可否认，要求学生支付大学教育的所有费用会增加学生的经济负担，尤其是来自中低收入家庭无法支付学费的学生，这无法确保教育的公平性。

Unquestionably, due to high-cost of university education, self-subsidised pattern probably imposes a heavily financial burden on the students, especially those coming from badly-off background; as a result of it, the fairer access to university education cannot be ensured.

原因3：要求学生支付大学教育费用可能导致学生不愿意去选择那些可能未来就业工资低的职业。

Requiring students to bear the cost of higher education may cause them to avoid courses that lead to less well-paid jobs.
