It can be seen clearly from the table that students with different family backgrounds receive university education for different reasons. To be more specific, students from poor families receive university education for better jobs in the future, while students from middle-class families receive university education for realizing personal values. Still, students from rich families receive university education just for their interest.

It is obvious that this trend results from many factors and the three following ones, from my way of thinking, are important. To begin with, better jobs help students from poor families stand out in the workplace. In addition, since students from middle-class families are not in need of money, they pay more attention to their own development. Last of all, students from rich families can get greater support, so they receive education for pure interest.

From what has been mentioned previously, as far as I am concerned, university education is important to everyone in today’s world. Although students with different family backgrounds have different purposes for studying, one thing for sure is that university education will make them better.

从该表格中，我们可以清楚地看出：不同背景的学生接受大学教育有不同原因。更具体地说，贫困家庭的学生接受教育是为了未来更好的工作，而中产家庭的学生接受大学教育是为了实现个人价值。富有家庭的学生接受大学教育仅仅是为了他们的兴趣。

很明显，这种趋势的致因众多。照我看来，以下这三条很重要。第一，更好的工作能帮助那些贫困家庭的学生在工作中脱颖而出。此外，那些来自中产家庭的学生不缺钱，所以他们更关注他们自己的发展。最后，来自富裕家庭的学生能得到更多的支持，所以他们接受教育纯粹是为了兴趣。

综上所述，我个人的观点是大学教学对于今天世界的每个人来说都很重要。尽管不同背景的学生接受教育的目的不同，确定的一件事情就是大学教育会让他们变得更好。
