It is the only wealth that cannot be robbed.3Learning includes the moral values and the improvement of character and the methods to increase the strength of mind.4 A good moral based education is also a must.5Education forms students’ characters, increases their strength of mind and knowledge, and makes them independent.6The nation's vitality depends upon a well-educated citizenry. The goal of the college staff is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential to living in and contribution to anever-changing democratic society.7Generally, at the start of a very young age, children learn to develop and use their mental, moral and physical powers, which they acquire through various types of education.8Education is commonly referred to as the process of learning and obtaining knowledge at school, in a form of formal education. However, the process of education does not only start when a child first attends school. Education begins at home.9One does not only acquire knowledge from a teacher; one can learn and receive knowledge from a parent, family member and even an acquaintance.10In almost all societies, attending school and receiving an education is extremely vital and necessary if one wants to achieve success.11Learning subjects in school is not enough. One can learn history, math, science in school, and be "book-smart". In addition, one can learn how to live life by knowing what to say when, acting a certain way in certain situations and be "street-smart". These two types of knowledge are extremely essential to be successful in life. For example, you can have all the "book" knowledge in the world about a certain profession, but if you don't know how to behave with your co-workers and or your superiors, having "book" knowledge won't get you too far.12But no matter what, education is the key that allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs, and ultimately succeed fully in life. Education is very important, and no one should be deprived of it.13Education is the special manifestation of men,14It is the treasure, which can be preserved without fear of loss.15The fundamental purpose of education is the same at all times and in all places.卡片范例：I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist It might even be the greatest of the art since the medium is the human mind and spirit.I shall speak of my English teacher in college because in addition to the other things, he brought discovery.Unlike most teachers who taught us grammar and vocabulary, he managed to arouse our interest in English language. By reading poems and playing graceful songs, he made us feel positive and enthusiastic to learn the language. Never torturing us by dictation or assignment deadline, he encouraged us to memorize whatever literature we like. He aroused us to shouting and discussions at class. He had the noisiest class in college and he didn’t even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject.He was warned by the faculty leader for failing to teach exam-oriented subjects. Such things must be learned. But he left a passion in us for the language and she inflamed us with a curiosity which has never left. I hated memorizing new words but through him I sensed that the vocabulary was very much like music. I feel lucky that I have such a miracle teacher who lightens up my life of English learning.三、成功的、有冒险精神的人三、成功的、有冒险精神的人用形容词而不是名词限定人物描述的话题，是2008的一个新变化。
