行文點評
文章討論的是在美國上學的大學生們得自己打工以支付上學費用。文章分為兩段。第一段談論美國學生情況：美國家庭往往在孩子幼年時就開始存錢，但各種繁重的費用使得學生們還是得半工半讀。第二段談論其他國家學生的情況：留學生需要努力學習以獲取獎學金或貸款，他們還可以在學校勤工儉學以掙取學費。
本文用詞平實，論據充分，分為兩段舉例，兩個段落之間用too一詞實現自然銜接。

為接受大學教育而工作
世界各地的學生都得為自己的教育而工作。美國的大學教育非常昂貴。費用如此之高以至于大多數家庭在孩子還是嬰兒的時候就開始為他們儲備教育經費。即便如此，很多年輕人還是無力支付全日制大學課程所需的各項費用。他們沒有足夠的錢支付學校費用。大學學費、課本費和生活費都很高。還有其他費用例如化學、生物實驗費，以及諸如停車許可證、足球門票之類的學生特別活動經費。大學教育費用逐年上升。但是教室里仍然擠滿了學生。有些美國學生可以得到獎學金或其它資助，但還有許多學生得不到。
來自其他國家的學生也需要解決錢的問題。因為多數國際項目中的學生需要有資助人，所以他們得努力學習獲取獎學金或特殊貸款。留學生了解在他國求學的價值。他們也了解其難度。然而正如美國人盡管困難重重還是選擇上美國大學一樣，通常國外學生可能會在大學校園里工作以支付他們教育的部分費用。有些人相信學生如果自己打工支付教育費用，他們會更加珍視所受的教育。

【臨摹】But, even so, there are more things worth seeing in this city than you can take in one visit.但即使這樣，這座城市中值得看的東西也遠非你一次參觀就能看得完的。
②【注釋】in spite of盡管
【臨摹】The children went to school in spite of the storm.盡管有暴風雨，孩子們仍然去上學了。
思如泉涌
No sweet without sweat.先苦后甜。
Better be unborn than untaught, for ignorance is the root of misfortune. 與其不受教育，不如不生，因為無知是不幸的根源。
