2. This house believes that everyone should attend college正方：We believe that everyone reach the appropriate age should go to college nowadays. In the 21st century, the competition is more and more stiff. College education is a best way to success and to make society progress .1、College definition:定义一:Those national or international organizations and their associated networks that carry out research or provide education and training on the scientific, technical, legal, social cultural and economic aspect of water and water-related issues, as well as those national or international professional organizations and media which provide information on research. It includes: national and international professional organizations, private or public universities, schools and research centers, public and private training centers.定义二:College refers to university colleges, further education colleges (for any age student, and usually for any level), divided into technical colleges and community colleges and sixth form (ages 16-18) colleges. College is the generic term for any post-secondary undergraduate education. People go to "college" after high school, regardless of whether the specific institution or a university. Everyone means one has the aptitudes or abilities. to attend college.Attending college benefits people a lot, the mental rigor, the social activities, maybe even just the experience of college itself.这两个定义都可以用.2、The aim of college education :College training is the great but ordinary means to a great but ordinary end; it aims at raising the intellectual tone of society, at cultivating the public mind, at purifying the national taste, at supplying true principles to popular enthusiasm and fixed aims to popular aspiration, at giving enlargement and sobriety to the ideas of the age, at facilitating the exercise of political power, and refining the intercourse of private life. It is the education that gives a man a clear, conscious view of his won opinions and judgments, a truth in developing them, an eloquence in expressing them, and a force in urging them. It teaches him to see things as they are, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of thought, to detect what is sophistical, and to discard what is irrelevant. It prepares him to fill any post with credit, and to master any subject with facility. It shows him how to accommodate himself to others, how to throw himself into their state of mind, how to bring before them his own, how to influence them, how to come to an understanding with them, how to bear with them. He is at home in any society; he has common ground with every class; he knows when to speak and when to be silent; he is able to converse; he is able to listen; he can ask a question pertinently, and gain a lesson seasonably, when he has nothing to impart himself; He is ever ready, yet never in the way; he is a pleasant companion, and a comrade you can depend upon; he knows when to be serious and when to trifle with gracefulness and to be serious with effect. He has the repose of a mind which lives in itself, while it lives in the world, and which has resources for its happiness at home when it cannot go abroad. He has a gift that serves him in public, and supports him in retirement, without which good fortune is but vulgar, and with which failure and disappointment have a charm. The art which tends to make a man all this, is in the object which it pursues as useful as the art of wealth or the art of health, though it is less susceptible of method, and less tangible, less certain, less complete in its result.3、The positive effects of college education:①According to the U.S. Census Bureau Earnings by Occupation and Education Index released in 2005, the percentages indicated that people with some college education were seven percent more likely to be employed. With a bachelors degree you 12% more likely to be employed and for those with an advanced degree, your odds increase to 16% over people with a high school diploma.②A、A new report from the College Board has plenty of data to back up the well-worn claim that college graduates can expect significantly higher wages over their lifetime than their counterparts. And the gap between the earning potential of college graduates and high school graduations is only widening, the report notes. For instance, in 2005, a person with a professional degree could expect to make $100,000 a year, compared with less than $32,000 for a high school graduate and $51,000 for a graduate of a four-year college.（有大学背景的人比没有大学背景工资更高）B、one will have a greater chance of a higher salary than non-college educated workers. The median earnings of a high school graduate in the United States were $21,332 in 2005 according to the same Earnings by Occupation and Education report by the Census Bureau. Workers with some college can expect a median income of over $10,000 more than someone with a high school education (for a median salary of $31,988), and over $20,000 more with a bachelor degree (for a median salary of $42,877).A和B的两个例子都是一样的，大家认为哪个好久选哪个。
