What knowledge and skills should universities provide has been argued for many years. Some people think that the true function of universities provide knowledge for their own purpose, but nowadays, more and more people point out that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills according to their workplace.

The first reason for universities should provide this knowledge and skill is the students’needs. Obviously, the most of the students go to university purpose of is to get some knowledge and skills which could make them have the ability to get a job. If a university does not provide these knowledge and skills, the students might not get a job and they would be very disappointed. As a result, the university would lose its students.

Moreover, providing knowledge and skills needed in the workplace make a university progress. The new skills and information always are initiated in the workplace, so focusing on the needs of the workplace, university could get sound strategies to do research and make the modernization.

Lastly, providing these knowledge and skills could benefit our country which usually gives a financial support to universities. Having these knowledge and skills, students are more easy to get a job, and this can make our country’s economy strong.

In conclusion, it can be said that providing the knowledge and skills which the workplace needs is every universities’basic functions.

Some people think that universities should not provide theoretical knowledge; instead, practical training courses should be provided to meet the needs of society. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

Whenever a high school senior fills out college applications, he is more likely to consult his parents or some friends for making a right decision. His parents may instruct him to get through a process which leads him to the right major in a right university, and later, the right job for him. Job-orientated courses are welcomed by most of the students, but still, theoretical knowledge plays an important role in society.

On the one hand, professional training can help students seek more job opportunities. Since computers are wildly used, a college graduate equipped with advanced knowledge of computer net-work or programming is expected to get a good-paid job. Next, I would like to show another phenomenon in China. After China’s entry into the WTO, a large number of multinational firms have flooded into many cities and some rural areas. A critical shortage of bilingual persons is signaling to the universities that foreign languages ought to be conducted for all students.

On the other hand, practical uses should be examined in theory in advance. Looking back to the history, you can see that most of the scientific inventions were generated by theoretical knowledge. For example, man was imitating the birds when he was attempting to fly. Basing on this theory, the Wright brothers invented the first airplane. In the present time, all engineering majors are required to lay on a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge, which will help them better understand the applied courses in the following years.

Finally, I will conclude this essay with a rational suggestion: universities should provide basic theoretical courses and focus on teaching practical training courses because professional skills will benefit the students’future careers, and simple theories can help them be more successful.

The diagrams show the processes and the equipments used to make cement, and how these are used to produce concrete for building purposes. The first step in the cement productions is to introduce limestone and clay. These materials pass through a crusher that produces a powder . Then this powder goes into a mixer. After this, the product passes to a rotating heater which works with heat. Afterwards, the mixture goes into a grinder where the cement comes out. At the end of the process, the cement is packed in bags.

Referring to the concrete production, the process begins with a combination of 15% cement, 10% water, 25% sand and 50% gravel. These four elements are introduced into a concrete mixer.

As mentioned above, the concrete production takes fewer steps than

the cement production, however, it is necessary to use more materials than the latter process in order to obtain the final product.

The last difference between both progresses is that the concrete mixer does not work with heat.
