   Excerpt
   Alex (Britain): Education is more important. With education, you can make money. Having to cope with loneliness (no social life) can be resolved when you look back on how much more knowledge you have acquired than others, and how much more money the knowledge has brought you than others.
   Tom (the US): Education doesn’t mean learning without social life. To put it simply, the university is not just a place for gaining knowledge but a community for the students to grow and mature.
   Olive (Poland): Education is the foundation of life. Education is far more significant than social life. This is because education prepare students for success and helps them go further in life as well. With a vast variety of career paths, education allows people to select their fields of interest and specialize in an occupation related to that career path. As a result, education not only allows people to make a living but also enables them to do what they want and love in their daily life.
   Twist (Canada): Yes, you can have your fun with a great social life; yes, you can not have a bachelor’s degree and still do well in life. But statistically, people with a degree get higher paying jobs, which leads to a more diverse and comfortable life. If you are confident of success without a degree, don’t get one! Go and start doing what you want to do. Most people misunderstand the term "education"; education can take place not only at school, but at your work and at home; it’s intimately linked to your life.
   Steve (China): Technically, education is a part of your social life. Anyway by having a social life you will have connections. You can be the smartest person in the world while with no connections you are nothing. If you meet a CEO of a big company, are you going to say, "I have a Ph. D. Hire me. " or socialize with him?
   Ann (Austria): Life is about living, not getting a grade A. At the end of your life, when you look back on everything, you are not going to smile and feel glad that you have learned more instead of celebrating your best friends’ birthday. Even if you get a doctorate, it doesn’t guarantee that you will get success and money, and having a social life guarantees a psychological fulfillment that grades can never supply.

答案 Which Counts More, Education or Social Life? For a university student, which is more important—education or social life? Those who favor education say that it ensures a better job and higher intelligence as education gets students ready for their future. Opponents think that students can become well-connected through social life, which can be helpful for their future jobs. Still others think education and social life are interconnected by pointing out that university life is a kind of social life. At the beginning of freshman semester, various clubs spring up on college campuses, which can be viewed as a miniature of students’ busy social life. A close look may give you a deep impression that a clamor for glamor is quite common not only in society but also in the ivory tower. However, in my view, for university students, more importance should be attached to education rather than social life. It is true that as guided by the market, university students should enhance certain social skills. Good connection with people ensures the chances of getting more tips on almost every aspect of life, such as social requirements and employment prospects. However, an open sesame brought by these communicative trinkets doesn’t necessarily mean that they are qualified for their positions. Education, on the contrary, nourishes not only their expertise in certain fields, but the overall intelligence with which they can get more opportunities for promotion. When at school, aloofness from razzmatazz and focusing on study is in itself a touchstone of one’s self-discipline and self-control. Such treasure trove will in turn evolve into huge assets in one’s future life. To summarize, the bedlam of social life may serve some purposes, but a solid foundation of knowledge prompted by education is the ace in the hole. When all the clamors peter out eventually, the real glamor will illuminate life with ever brighter luster.
