Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we don’t educate children only for the purpose of     1    (educate) them; our purpose is to fit them for life.

In some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all —     2    rich or poor, clever or stupid — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refuse to do     3    they think to be “low” work, and, in fact, work with hands     4    (think) to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely not     5    (educate) farmer is far more important than     6    of a professor. We can live     7    education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would get terrible diseases in our towns.

In fact, all of us must be educated to fit us for life,     8    means that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and, secondly,     9     we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society. It is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education     10    be considered valuable to society.

What’s your understanding of education? It is a term that can have many meanings, but it is     1     (general) defined as the process of learning information. Formal learning in     2     school or university is one of the most common     3     (type). Communities around the world place a high value on     4     (educate) people of all ages, whether formally or informally.

When talking about education, most people will think of schools and classrooms where trained teachers present information     5     students. Classroom learning usually     6     (start) when a child is very young—around five years old in most countries. The purpose of most classroom learning is not to prepare a child for a specific job,       7     to help him or her develop critical reasoning and thinking skills.

In fact, many people choose to extend (延长)     8     (they) formal education beyond what is required by going to universities. Students usually have a wide range (范围) of     9     (choice) when it comes to subject areas and degree options.

Although book learning is very     10     (importance), it is not the only form of education. Some people are self-taught.
