It is reported that many high school leavers gave up signing up for the College Entrance Examinations this year. There are a variety of reasons for this phenomenon. The college tuition fees are so costly that poor families can’t afford them even if students are admitted to college. As a result, many poor students choose to give up. The news that many college graduates can’t find jobs this year also has a bad effect. They decide to work right after graduation instead of going to college. And some students are so poor in their subjects that they had lost confidence.

In my opinion, it is unwise to give up such a good chance that will probably change your future. After all, college graduates have better chance of finding better jobs. Besides, if you miss the golden opportunity for study in college, you may never make up for it later in life. We should take advantage of the opportunity. As for colleges, tuition fees should be greatly reduced so that everybody can afford higher education.
