When finishing the high school course, not every student has the chance or ability to go to college. Some students choose to seek a job, start their own business or pursue other interest. However, for some students who want to get further education, they choose self-education, self-education is no better than university studies.
On the one hand, self-education lacks of a well-defined structure. In the school, the teacher will make some plans for students’ studies; they plan the target, the fulfillment of expectation and assessment of the program. With these, students can know their own flaws, making progress gradually. While self-learners may lose themselves, they have no test, no homework and no exam; it is hard for them to know how to get improved.
On the other hand, self-education doesn’t provide the environment which students can learn from each other. College provides students the stage to communicate with others, making friends; students can also have the chance to enhance the ability of team work and readership. Those abilities are very important for students, when they are finding a job, they have the advantages.（四级作文 www.lyy5.com）
Self-education is a way of gaining knowledge; I prefer to study in college, because I like to communicate with friends. Though self-education can’t take place for university studies, we can choose to learn elective courses in that way.

当完成高中课程的学习后，并不是每个学生有机会和有能力上大学。一些学生选择找工作，开创自己的事业或者发展别的兴趣。然而，对于一些想继续学习的学生来说，他们选择自学，自学并不比高校学习好。
一方面，自学缺乏系统性的安排。在学校，教师会给学生制定学习计划，他们制定了学习目标，实现期望和进度的评估。有了这些，学生就会知道他们的不足，慢慢进步。然而自学者可能自我迷失，他们没有测试，没有作业和没有考试，很难知道如何提高。
在另一方面，自学并不给学生提供可以彼此学习的环境。大学给学生提供了交流和交朋友的舞台，学生也可以有机会增强团队合作和领导能力。这些能力对于学生来说是很重要的，当他们找工作的时候，就很有优势了。
自学是学到知识的一种方式，我比较喜欢在学校学习，因为我喜欢和朋友交流。虽然自学并不能取代高校学习，我们可以在学习选修课时自学。
