1、题目大意
一些人认为获得成功的最好的方式是上大学，但是其他人不这么认为。讨论双方观点并给出自己的观点。
2、思路解析
这是一道双边类大作文，讨论的是上大学是不是让人获得成功的最好办法。双边类的题目，需要对每个观点分别表达同意或反对，最终的结论就是我的立场，可以是中立（双方都同意或都反对），也可以是单边支持某一方立场。审题需要注意两点，一是观点1有绝对词best，即为了达到成功人生这一目的，上大学这一策略是否是“最好的”。一般看到有绝对词的观点，都可以持反对角度。二是观点2只是表达不同意观点1的观点，并没有增加额外的信息。因此我们可以赞同后者，即“为了获得成功，上大学并不是最好的办法”，下面王珍老师就带大家看下具体的内容。
首先，成功的本身定义是模糊的，有的人认为家庭圆满是成功，而有的人认为事业顺利是成功。不同定义的成功所需要当事人具备的要素也是不同的。
读大学确实能够让人学到更多知识和专业技能、提升人的学历。更高的学历能够让人在寻找工作时获得优势，而知识和技能则能让人更好的处理工作或科研时遇到的问题。
但是，除了专业技能外，许多其他要素是无法通过读大学获得的。比如，对于把家庭圆满作为成功标准的人来说，一个好的伴侣和诚实善良、对感情忠贞不渝的品质都是非常重要的，而这些要素并不是通过读大学就能获得的，好的个人品质可能需要通过良好的家庭教育等才能获得，而一个合适的伴侣则需要机遇和不断寻找才能遇到。
其次，哪怕在事业成功之类范围下，单就读大学而言不一定能促使成功。
一方面现在大学教育的普及，导致大学生变多不再具有稀缺属性，读大学无法成为一种相较于他人而言的必然存在优势。
另一方面，事业成功可能需要机会和运气，这些并不是大学所能带来的。同时，大学教育并不适用于所有人，要考进大学往往需要学生足够好的考试成绩才可以。而对于学业成绩不好的学生来说，通过职业技术培训学习专业技能，或者未来持续的自主学习，同样有机会能够获得事业成功。
3、提纲
4、高分范文示例
In spite of the fact that the world is undergoing various changes in recent years, what are the key factors to achieve success still remains one of the most heatedly discussed issues. There are some people who argue that attending college is the best way to succeed, while others hold the opposite opinion. Personally, I prefer the latter.
The first reason why I cannot regard this as the best method lies in the fact that acquiring college qualification alone can no longer be a superiority when facing the fierce competition today. In other words, with the approach of knowledge society, some regions in the world have gradually achieved the popularization of higher education, and even in some developed countries, the number of graduate and doctoral students is also soaring, so only having received undergraduate education is no longer preferred by the company in the workplace. Besides, with social advances, the factors that promote success, such as better social relationships, family background, and personal appearance, have become more diversified, by which I mean without any conditions mentioned above, the probability of success is extremely slight even if one has graduated from the college.
In addition, there do exist better factors to achieve success. More specifically, the elements of a person's success can be divided into congenital conditions and acquired efforts. If a person is born with advantages in appearance, intelligence and wealth, making good use of these innate advantages can facilitate him or her to achieve success at a very young age, just like many young stars in China at present. However, for most ordinary people who do not obtain these inherited advantages, hard-working persistence, and determination are very important qualities. In other words, due to poverty or other reasons, even if someone gives up university education, and chooses to be engaged in vocational work, as long as they persist in honing their own skills and insisting on innovation, they can also achieve achievements in their own fields.
Admittedly, although the definition of success is quite different for each individual, the fundamentals for achieving a goal will forever remain the same. As mentioned above, university education has been popularized in many countries, that is to say, this has become one of the most basic conditions in current competition. However, if one wants to have an advantage over others in knowledge, people should not only meet the requirements of undergraduate education, but also adhere to lifelong learning.
In conclusion, it seems to me that attending college is not the best way to achieve success mainly because there are other elements and methods to succeed.
