Prompt: Expressing opinions on the educational purpose proposed by UNESCO: to know, to do, to live together, to assert oneself
Essay:
Indeed, literature teaches us how to be human, and through studying literature, we become more 'human' than ever. It's the compassionate voice in front of the fate rejected the right to be human of Chi Pheo, the indignation and sorrow before the talented but ill-fated life of Miss Kieu, the admiration for learning before the heroic ideals of the righteous farmers in Can Giuoc. Learning has brought us sincere feelings, allowing us to love and share more, to better integrate into the civilization of mankind, to adapt to the advancements of society to eliminate outdated behaviors and thoughts in life. However, each person is a unique individual, craving affirmation in society. Education helps individuals assert their talents and abilities in work, in society, and be recognized by others for their talents. A great leader like Ho Chi Minh, admired and known worldwide for his profound knowledge, wisdom, and great personality. A professor like Ngo Bao Chau, through determination, effort, and passion for learning and research, has brought glory to the homeland with prestigious mathematical awards. A successful entrepreneur, a famous singer, a talented musician, a beloved writer, admired by all, it's not by chance they have achieved such status but through daily perseverance, accumulation, and dedication to their craft. Asserting oneself not only brings joy to oneself and pride to the family but also becomes a source of national pride.
Currently, there are still many who underestimate the importance of education, engaging in superficial and unconscious learning, indulging in pointless games, wasting precious time, resulting in regrettable consequences. Cheating in exams and studies occurs frequently in various forms. This must be condemned to ensure a healthy and safe educational environment. To become the future leaders of the country in the era of industrialization, modernization, and international economic integration, each of us must have a clearer understanding of our own learning purposes from now on. Be proactive, creative in absorbing knowledge, enriching intellect, self-learning, and self-improvement. Let's be the enthusiastic and talented future leaders, asserting ourselves on the international stage.
