               College is Useful
What do you imagine about “Shift Happens”? Some people think it is rotation in work. Today it means that many changes are occurring around us rapidly. In “Shift Happens” Karl Fisch mentions that our future job probably does not exist. Moreover, 50% of our learning this year will go out of date in two year’s time. So he argues that college education maybe useless. But I disagree with his opinion, and I’ m going to produce my reasons about disagreeing with it.
  First, I think the thing I learned in college will not be useless even if it goes out of date. If I learn something in college and even if it goes out of date, I can use it in a different way. I can use it in order to explain the different fact or connect the fact. For example, in computer the vacuum tube technology is now out of date, but the knowledge of it is now used in recently transistor. Meiland argues that we can retain well-supported beliefs. So we can continually remember the fact that we learn and well support in college. Therefore, knowledge we learned in college is useful for our life.
  My second reason about disagreement is that the college is the place that we learn how to think. For example, if we learn the way of thinking, we can use that way on our future. The way of thinking will not go out of date, but it is useful for us to do something. Meiland mentions that in college students should treat the theory carefully. It means we must examine the theory in order to support the theory. When we examine the theory we need to use the way of thinking. We should have the certain way of thinking to judge whether that is correct or not. So I think the college is the place we learn how to think.
  Of course some people think that people can learn anything without college education. It maybe true that we can learn anything with no help from college education, and it is certain that there were or are many great people who didn’t go to college. But we can get information more easily in college than in out of college. And we can use the technique how to think after graduation from college. So college education gives us a lot of benefit. Therefore, I think college education is good for not only learn solution, bad also getting opportunities to learn.
  As a conclusion, college education is useful for us the knowledge we learn in college can be used in several ways, the college is the place that we learn how to think and we can use this after graduation, and college education gives us much information. So as a student, we should do our best to acquire the skills: how to think, and treatment theory and so on. We should not forget absolutely that college work is useful but it depends on our effort.

    Today, I’m going to write about my hobby. I often play a net-game when I have free time. I play MMO-RPG: Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. This type of games has many playing user. So I can communicate with them or fight together. And It has its own economy, so I feel reality as if it is real. Though there are some of the mad people who can’t distinguish the game’s virtual reality from the real we live, other of people has sure schedules. Now, I am very interested in the war that the offences deprive the castle. The union I belong to has one castle, so I must defend the castle against the offences. In order to retain it, we always think the strategy very much. Sometime we attack offences on both sides, or we sometime escape from the battlefield. There are many tactics to make us advantageous or disadvantageous. And it is very important for us to connect our heart and to make good teamwork. If we can organize it well, we will win the war. In college I have less time than in high school, but I like this game and I will continue this game.
