Have you ever asked youself why students go to school？You will probably say that they go to school to learn their own language and other languages， mathematics， history， science and all the other subjects. That is quite true. But why do they learn these？
Youngsters go to school to prepare themselves for the time when they will grow up and will have to work. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that the only reason why they go to school？
Of course not. There is more in education than just learning facts. Students go to school partly to learn how to learn so that after they graduate， they can continue to learn. One of the purposes of school is to teach students the way to learn.
In addition， they go to school not only to be educated，but also to learn how to get along with others. A school is a small society. One's classmates are all different in character，and they all have different backgrounds. This experience helps the students to get along better with different kinds of people in later life.

提起上學(xué)，人人都知道孩子們是去學(xué)各種知識(shí)為將來做準(zhǔn)備的。作者正是從大多數(shù)人的觀點(diǎn)談起，但他的觀點(diǎn)主要表達(dá)在第三段和第四段，即學(xué)校教育的目的之一是教學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的方法以及如何與人相處。這似乎比學(xué)習(xí)知識(shí)本身更重要，它會(huì)影響一個(gè)人一生的成功與否。本文論述循序漸進(jìn)，很有說服力。

上學(xué)的目的之一

少年兒童去上學(xué)是為了他們將來長(zhǎng)大以后工作做準(zhǔn)備。他們?cè)趯W(xué)校所學(xué)的東西幾乎在生活中都有實(shí)際用途。但這是他們?nèi)ド蠈W(xué)的惟一理由嗎？
當(dāng)然不是。教育不僅僅是學(xué)習(xí)具體事情。學(xué)生去學(xué)校還要學(xué)會(huì)如何來學(xué)習(xí)，這樣他們畢業(yè)以后就可以繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)。學(xué)校教育的目的之一就是教學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的方法。
另外。他們?nèi)ド蠈W(xué)不僅是受教育。而且要學(xué)會(huì)如何與人相處。學(xué)校就是一個(gè)小社會(huì)。各人的同學(xué)在性格上都有所不同，而且他們都有著不同的家庭情況。這樣的經(jīng)驗(yàn)有助于他們?cè)谌蘸蟮纳钪信c各種各樣的人更好地相處。
