正确答案：What should the main function of universities beThere is a growing tendency at present for universities to offer courses that help graduates to find employment. As to this trend some people believe that the main function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake. But I can' t agree with them and in my opinion the main function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for the whole society' s sake.Universities play an important role in the development of the nation for the talents that society needs are provided by universities. Nowadays with the fast development and changes of society the function of education is getting more and n/ore important than ever before. It' s not exaggerated that the progress of a nation depends largely on education so universities as an important component of education should make adjustment of themselves so that they can better promote the development of the whole nation.If universities just give access to knowledge for their own sake then the prospective employees they provided for the market will not satisfy the social requirements thus impeding the further progress.In general universities should be society and market-oriented rather than give access to knowledge for their own sake.
