题目大意
一些人认为教育的目的是把个人培养成对社会有用的人；另外一些人觉得教育的目的实现个人的雄心壮志。讨论双方并给出自己的观点
写作思路解析
➡️教育的目的是为了社会的发展还是个人的抱负？其实这两者是不矛盾的。先来分析为社会而读书的理由：一是在很多国家政府负担学费，所以希望学生以后能够回报社会。其次，多培养一些像科学家，医生这样的对社会有用的专业性人才，既可以保障国家的繁荣，又可以提高在国际上的竞争力。不过，从个人角度考虑，学生的基本选择权力应该被尊重，他们应该被允许甚至被鼓励学自己喜欢的知识，从而以后能够以从事喜欢的工作，过更好的生活。其次如果大家读书为了个人前途和抱负，应该会更有动力，更容易成功。
审题
这个题目是典型的他欧尼双方的题目，如果双方不矛盾，我们采取起承转合的结构即可。

写作示范
People have different views about whether the goal of study is for the benefits of others or students themselves. In my opinion, education does not have a single purpose, while it serves multiple objectives.
Some people may argue that the main aim of education is to training useful people for the society. This is true to some extent. After all, in some countries, the government is the one who invest money in education, so it seems to be reasonable to receive some feedback in form of professionals who will work for the benefit of the nation. Furthermore, with more experienced professionals living in the society, the developments of the nation will be guaranteed. For example, those who are expertise in agricultural science probably educate the farmers how to have a good quality of plants, how to manage the irrigation system well and how to conduct the product sales in the market.
However, this doesn’t automatically mean that students’ personal ambition and satisfaction can be neglected. It is quite obvious that to learn something according to one’s aptitude is an essential key to success. Following someone’s own temperament will ultimately make it very easy for a common person to get uncommon results. It will teach him patience, consistency, determinations which are some desirable traits to become a productive and sound person perhaps. By contrast, if only working for the benefit of others, regardless of personal goals, students would probably end up being frustrated and less motivated.
To conclude, while education should serve both purposes: the prosperity of the society and the fulfillment of personal ambitions, I think students’ aptitude should be prioritized because this can benefit individuals as well as the society as a whole.
