Some people think governments should make university education free, but others think students should pay fees by themselves. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It has become highly controversial regarding the post-secondary
education
fees. Some people hold the opinion that government should cover the tuition for
students
while others believe that those expenses should still be paid by
students
.
This
essay will discuss both sides and illustrate my thought. On the one hand, sponsorship from the government offers
students
from different classes equal opportunity to receive high-level
education
. It is undeniable that one’s future career path is internally related to his or her
education
level, and
university
fees are the main obstacle preventing one from pursuing their career goal.
However
, free
university
education
indicates that talented and diligent individuals with terrible financial situations are
also
able to enter the programs matching their capabilities.
Consequently
, graduates with different backgrounds will achieve their life expectations and contribute positively to society with what they have learned from
university
, which is a mutual benefit to both individuals and society.
On the other hand
, asking
students
to pay tuition brings better teaching quality and

school life. As
students
afford the fees required by post-secondary institutes, the government can allocate the budgets originally for paying tuitions to

advanced equipment or building necessary facilities like a laboratory. Those resources play a crucial role in understanding course materials and make the learning process fast and joyful.
Additionally
, money can
also
be spent on entertainment programs
such
as stadiums and gyms so that
students
are able to maintain a work-life balance, which improves learning efficiency. In my perspective, those two sides don’t conflict with each other. It is reasonable for local authorities to cover the tuition partially and ask
students
to afford the rest of the expenses.
Therefore
, it does not inflict a heavy financial burden on both
students
and governments.
Moreover
, charging
students
properly for
university
enrollment will make
students
cherish the opportunity to receive high-level
education
and ensure they spend enough time studying.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.
