【參考范文】
This chart is provided by U.S. Bureau of Labor and it is simple but enlightening. In 2010, it had become a trend for doctors, masters and bachelors to earn more money in a week in US—$1551, $1272 and $1038. Meanwhile, other people, who did not receive better education, could not enjoy satisfactory earnings,?
這個(gè)圖表能由美國勞工局提供，它雖然簡單但很有啟發(fā)性。在2010年，博士、碩士和學(xué)士能掙到更好的周薪——$1551, $1272和$1038，這已經(jīng)成為一種趨勢(shì)。同時(shí)，其他沒有接受到更好教育的人們就享受不了令人滿意的薪資。
The chart shows that if one individual intends to acquire better earnings, it is advisable for him or her to gain higher degrees firstly. Thus, we can say that this chart can be naturally associated with close relation between income and education. Indeed, in the contemporary America, it is a common phenomenon for a host of companies to hire recruit doctors and masters and pay them better salaries. As a result, an increasing number of youngsters find it rather difficult to get better jobs, if they do not get better education. This proves a fact, that is, employees and employers in large numbers have come to realize the significance of higher degrees. It is education that enables one to build up adequate knowledge, skills and ability to deal with important tasks.

圖表表明，如果一個(gè)人想到得到更好的收入，他或她就應(yīng)該先得到更高的學(xué)歷。因此，我們可以說這個(gè)圖表能自然聯(lián)系到教育和收入之間的關(guān)系。確實(shí)，在當(dāng)今的美國，很多公司都招聘博士和碩士并支付給他們高新，這是一種普遍現(xiàn)象。結(jié)果，越來越多年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)如果沒有較好的教育，就會(huì)很難找到更好的工作。這證明了一個(gè)事實(shí)，那就是，很多雇主和雇員都已經(jīng)意識(shí)到了高學(xué)歷的重要性。正是教育使得一個(gè)人積累承擔(dān)重要任務(wù)的知識(shí)、技能和能力。

Everyone should bear in mind that education means a worthy investment. As a college student, I wan to say that it is of great necessity for all youngsters to enhance ourselves by studying hard and getting better degrees.?
每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該牢記教育意味著一項(xiàng)很有價(jià)值的投資。作為一名大學(xué)生，我想說所有年輕人都有必要努力學(xué)習(xí)得到更好的學(xué)歷。
