It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地),either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

When someone laughs at you, it is called teasing.

Many people are teased. Sometimes your friends tease you just for fun. You can laugh at it and forget about it. But many times the teasing can be harmful. It can make you feel sad. It is harmful when teasing makes you hate yourself.

So, it is important to learn how to deal with teasing. Here are some ways.

Self-talk. Ask yourself, “What is more important --- what they say about me or who I really am?” Of course, who you are is more important! You need to believe in yourself. When you start talking to yourself this way, you will feel more confident.

Ignore(忽视). If you become angry, then the teasers will tease you more. So, simply ignore them. When you don’t 1respond to them, they may stop teasing you.

Turn it into praise. You can turn negative teasing into positive praise. If someone teases you about your hair, you can say, “Thank you for noticing my hair.”

Agree. 2You can agree with the facts because facts are the truth. If someone teases you by saying, “You have curly(卷毛的) hair”, then you can say, “Yes, I have curly hair.” Always remember to smile when you reply this way.

Laugh. You can simply laugh when someone teases you instead of feeling sad. The teasers may be surprised to see you laugh. They might even stop teasing after some time.

Teasing is never a good thing to do. You should not tease others. But when others tease you, you have to learn to deal with it well. You should also always remember that what teasers say when they tease you is not what is true about you.
