ResponderEliminarIt motivates me to continue studying to think of a better future and to have many dreams that I really hope to fulfill.
Second part:
There are more work advantages if you studied at a university
Free college education guarantees the same opportunities
Create opportunities for poor people to succeed
Vocational training is beneficial
Third part:
Although the government gives money, students still have to pay other expenses
The free university costs the government a lot of money that has to raise taxes
It is unfair to send messages to people who regularly work for a minority to study
The last paragraph argues for balance.

First, the reason I study is to be able to help my family and have economic stability, since none of my parents have college studies, it is impossible for them to obtain a pension that is enough to subsist, it is my obligation to find a method to study without their full help, to later support them.
ResponderEliminarSpeaking of the subject, more specifically, I agree with public education since it reduces the barrier of difficult access for people with low economic resources, in this way, they can fight for a better social status.
On the other hand, I disagree that they think that the only one who ends up having expenses is the government, since the same students have to cover expenses that the government does not cover, it is a joint effort of both parties, despite having to increase taxes be the way to get money, it is for the good of someone who needs it, even if it is a minority.
Finally, a balance must be struck between all parties, to ensure that none is exploited, that students get ahead, and that citizens do not pay a lot of taxes.

First intervation:
ResponderEliminar1)For poor people it's more difficult to apply for a good job, cause they couldn't pay for university education.
2)Free education, ensures that everybody can study in equal conditions.
3)Charge for the studies at an university. Free education can lead to inflation in taxes, its unfair to tax ordinary people,
4)the last paragraph discussion is fair for both sides of the coin, the agreement and the desagreement
5)on the other hand, further more, on balance.
Second intervention:
I agree with the charge for university studies, but they should be a little more standardized so that the entire population, both poor and wealthy, can complete their studies, even though it is known that not everyone enters a public university, several processes must be passed in addition to passing the admission exam, in conclusion the charge is fine only its amount is incorrect or unffair for those who can't afford it.

ResponderEliminarFirst part
What motivates me to continue studying is being able to be a better person and a better professional, in addition to making the best use of the resources they provide me, growing and developing my skills so that in the future I can better defend myself in society and help financially to my parents because without their help I would not have moved on.
Second part
1)The free university education will have everyone with the same opportunities to study at the university level.
2)Vocational training will be more beneficial.
3)It creates more opportunities for poor people to do well.
Third part
1)The poor have fewer opportunities when applying for jobs and often remain disadvantaged throughout their lives.
2)Some people maintain that it is unfair to tax ordinary working so that they can study.
3)Although the government gives money, students still have to pay other expenses.
4)They have fewer opportunities when they apply for a job.
Second intervention:
I agree that education should be free for everyone, it is important to have the same opportunities to receive a good education no matter the economic situation of each person. It is essential to forge great professionals so that they can take the country forward with their knowledge and skills.
I do not agree that they say that a free university education will take a lot of money from the state, since somehow the students have to pay a small percentage to maintain their education.

I disagree that university education is free, because it is a cost very high for the government and Costa Rica doesn´t have the posibility to make this possible. I consider that for now the system is fine, because the government and each university gives socioeconomic scholarships to students that really need it, this means that it does not deny the possibility of studying the poor or people who cannot pay and students who can afford college,do it. In the world, Costa Rica is one of the countries that invests the most in education.

First part:
ResponderEliminarWe study for have a great future with my family, also is a dream. Study is important to have quality of life and to update knowledge.
Second part:
Free university education will ensure that everybody has an equal chance to study at university level.
It will mean that universities could attract most able students and not the richest.
Third part:
Free university education will cost the government a lot of money and they would have to raise the money through taxation.
Some people maintain that it is unfair to tax ordinary working people so a minority can study at university.
Fourth part:
The last paragraph is the balance “On balance I believe that the advantages of providing free university education all weight these disadvantages. While free education cost everybody a little more in taxes it creates the fearest system and the more opportunities for poor people to do well”
Fifth part:
However: Used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously.
As a result: Because of the occurrence of something
In addition: As an extra person, thing, or circumstance.
On the other hand: used to present factors which are opposed or which support opposing opinions.
Furthermore: Used to introduce a fresh consideration in an argument.
Jonathan Fonseca Segura and Gabriel Barquero
I want to emphasize that studying is not considered a privilege of the few at the present time, but is a common factor among the different social classes.
ResponderEliminarWe know beforehand that we live in a society that is constantly changing and also requires more and more knowledge, so studying and training facilitates entry into the world of work and helps with daily sustenance.
I think that the government should help universities more because education and training is truly one of the most powerful instruments
to reduce poverty and inequality. Therefore, it lays the foundations for a sustainable economic increase that would benefit the country.
To finish, I think that the government should apply a model in which people are not affected by so many taxes, because this generates dissatisfaction of the citizens towards the state.
Adán José García López
2019160609
First part
ResponderEliminarWhat motivates me to continue studying is that when I finish thecollege I want to have my own business, and to be able to get over. Since I would like to specialize in another university career and for that I try to finish studying administration
Second part
I agree that education should be free, as this allows more opportunities for a good job.It is also important that equal opportunities exist because everyone has the right to study for free.
I do not agree with the saying that free education takes a lot of money from the government, as it is important for the country that people have studies.And it's important to say that students give small percentage of money in school.
Third part
1. Is less likely to get a job.
2. Some students pay for their studies even if the government contributes money.
3. The budget that the government gives to the public universities is the taxes of the people.

First intervention
ResponderEliminar1-The reason why I study is to learn, because I really like to learn and investigate about everything, particularly about science, also I want to be a successful and useful person.
2-If you studied at a university you have more opportunities to have a good job than someone who don´t. I think, the free university create better opportunities to people who has less resources to study. Also, I think, if the university is free your opportunities will depend about your own talents and efforts.
3-If the university is free the cost for the government will increase so they have to collect more taxes and there are more expenses to students like food or lodging and in some cases this expenses are more expensive than the university cost.
Second intervention
I think there is not really a big difference if the university is free, because it is more important your effort and talent. Even if you have money for all the expenses your opportunities depend on your effort and the expenses like lodging, transport or food are more expensive than the university. If you’re a good student the university system will give you help to complete your studies.

ResponderEliminar• My motivation to continue studying, is to achieve my dreams and become independent. I would also love to help my family, especially my mother who has been working so hard so I can accomplish my dreams.
ResponderEliminar• I agree that education should be completely free, there is a lot of people all over the world who can contribute with human growth in many ways. It will be so beneficious for our society, poor population rate could drop down drastically and there will be way more job opportunities. Also, when we talk about education in general, that includes sexual education, so people would learn more about taking care of themselves and create a possibility of reducing overpopulation.
• I disagree with high costs of education, because a lot of private High Schools and Universities ask for unnecessary money, even in pandemic, there´s a lot of people studying in private institutions and they are still paying regular payment even when they are not using all the “benefits” that the institution offers. But there is not an affordable option to study because education in public institutions in most countries it´s terrible and not everyone can afford a private institution.
• Last part of the essay talks about a balance in the situation
-However/furthermore/: used in the essay to make a comparison between paying or not paying for education.
-In addition: to add another idea to the main one
-On the other hand: same as however

EliminarSentences that motivate to continue read
ResponderEliminarWe study at a public university in which the state pays the vast majority of a university degree. What motivates us to continue reading is that we are part of the population that has benefits for studying, where they prepare us to be better professionals as people in the society where we live.Also, this situation makes me feel lucky to have the opportunity to study for free, because a scholarship covers my needs and credits.
Sentences in favor
-Sometimes poor people can’t pay for their studies because they haven’t got resources to pay.
-Everybody hasn’t equal opportunities to study
-Free education gives more opportunities to poor people
-Free education would generate equity
-Free education would bring progress and less poverty.
Sentences against
-Taxes will increase
-Private colleges will suffer enrollment declines and financial hardships.
Fist intervention in group.
This topic attracts a lot of attention because currently all young people want to be professionals. Also, when the government does not pay for education, specifically at universities, many students cannot afford the costs of studying at university. As a result of this, they have fewer job opportunities. Free education would generate equity, but it would also generate many expenses for the government. On the other hand, free education would bring progress and less poverty.

ResponderEliminarI am in favor of free university education because it is for any who wants to get a higher education degree. However, people need money to buy class materials and many don't have any. I think that free university education should help more to the people with less financial resources in order to contribute to their education.

ResponderEliminarSecond intervention
ResponderEliminarI am in favor of universities supporting students in the economic field, so that they can improve in their professional and daily life. A big part of the population has economic problems and not all people have access to a good education, which is why it is necessary to encourage the good use of taxes in the country, as in the study, without falling into waste. Also, I am in favor of the entire population having the same possibilities of entering a university regardless of their origin or economic status. Costa Rica is fortunate to have the public education system which helps to have a population more prepared for an eventuality. As a result, by having more opportunities to study, the population is insensitive to having their degree and having a better quality of life as professionals.
Jesus Alpizar Mora (2019046849)
1) My motivation to studying is to become someone I can be proud of, raise a family and help society trying to become a better place
ResponderEliminar2) Eduation should be free, it is the only way we have as a society to help people to earn a better future. Also we are the future of society so a correct society should invest on the future, and have hope that the next generation will pick.
3) I disagree with the way education is made in private University, not all education is the same, one is hard earn and well develop and other is more pay to earn the education, and it is not based on hard work, it's based on if you can pay for the education and for me that's wrong, people hard work should go first that people economic income.
4) The last paragraph talk about balance
Pablo Boza Mata 2020186362
First part
ResponderEliminarWhat motivates me to continue studying is the desire to get ahead, self-improvement and perseverance are fundamental keys to keep moving forward. I am a visionary person, who seeks success and as a very personal phrase: I consider that the only way to combat ignorance is through education and knowledge.
Second part
Free public education is a necessary condition for education to continue to be a right guaranteed by the social community, through its public financing, and not to become a particular “opportunity” or “investment” of those who can pay for it, with a view to achieving a possible competitive advantage in their future work.
Third part
Although the government gives money to universities, students still must pay for their college education. They paid the tuition fees and they also need money to live while studying.
They have fewer opportunities when they apply for jobs, and often remain disadvantaged throughout their lives. this is unfair!

The author argues a favor that free education does not exclude poor populations, it also allows universities to have qualified students and not only high economic students.
The author argues against the high price of having a free education, since it can raise taxes and is not fair to society.
In a balanced way, the advantages of free education can affect more positive than negative, since, even if taxes are increased, a society with the same opportunities for growth is obtained.

ResponderEliminarI agree that university education is free, but if you want a high quality education, the cost is very high for the country. So the country must seek resources to maintain universities with high quality standards and that it is accessible to all.
I also agree that from childhood people are given vocational education, so that they make a better decision of which profession to choose. Because if a person chose a profession that they do not like, that field could be used by another person

ResponderEliminarI agree that education should be free since there are a lot of people with high capacity who cannot develop their professional skills because they do not have the financial resources to study at a university. However, universities must be strict in order for students to perform and not waste the resources provided to them, as it would be unfair for regular students who are not struggling.

ResponderEliminarI agree with the free university education. In my opinion it´s good because not all people can pay the university and they have the right to study. Some people have the desire and the ability to study but they don´t have ways to pay it. I understand, free university education could be a huge economic problem for the government because maybe there are many people who need help to pay for their education.
ResponderEliminarThat situation could be good for the country because we can see that like a investment and in the future Costa Rica will has more professionals. This helps to reduce the poverty, maybe that can help to improve the education and the international recognition.

ResponderEliminarI think that free university education is a great opportunity for young students who want to become professionals. The government spends a lot of money on this, money that comes from Costa Rican taxes. Free education is the only opportunity for low-income youth to choose a better future. Education is the future of society, for this reason I agree with free education.

ResponderEliminarWhat motivates me to continue reading is the desire to learn about people's different perspectives about free university education, because everyone could have a different opinion and every opinion is valid and must be analyzed. In my case, I continue studying because I want to be a professional to make proud my family and to have a better life quality
The points in favor of education free are:
- Poor people sometimes miss the chance to study, with free education included the university it won't happen and they will have more opportunities when they apply for jobs. Free university education will ensure that everybody has an equal chance to study at the university level
- The universities will trap the ablest students and not the richest
The points against are:
- It cost a lot of money for the government
- More taxes
- More taxes to ordinary working people (with less money)
Balanced way:
- The advantages of providing free university education are more and better than the disadvantages. Because despite free education costs everybody more in taxes it creates a better system and in that way, the poor people have more opportunities
Linking expressions:

Jurgen Brenes Quirós, 2018319264
Second intervention
ResponderEliminarI agree with Jonathan Fonseca to disagree with the idea of free university education for all. Of course, it would be the ideal, but it's not possible in Costa Rica reality. There's more than 15% of the population that is poor and these people can't afford more taxes, they can barely survive. Furthermore, private universities create more competition and make education systems better.
However, Costa Rica invests a lot of money in education and the country's development model is lined with international demand. If these strategies give positive results in the future, and the poverty level becomes very low, free university education for everyone could possible, because people would have better jobs and the idea of more taxes would be possible.

I think that the only good point of pay the university is that the student makes all the effort as possible, because they are paying their own carrier, and this effort can be wasted, so they strive all their strength and concentration to approve the courses.

I agree that a university education should be free, since it will support everyone who wants to be a professional person, no matter their financial situation or where they are from. The economic field is a problem for a large part of the population of Costa Rica; free college education will help many people who cannot afford a place in it. It is also known that this situation will increase taxes, but if they are used correctly it should not be a problem for the government, it is also necessary to see way that ensured that the free education is not of bad quality.

I agree with the one who says that everybody should have an equal chance to study. But i think that the should give everybody the chance and if they whant to take, they could take it, also if they dont want to. So only thoose who wants to study are going to do it.
maybe even they should give the chance no matter the age os the persone.
I disagree at the part that says it is unfair for some people. No matter what is something that would help a lot of people and the conuntry!
I think we all have to participate to make it posible, because sometimes is not only the money... Also the family and other people. (Like when they put the children to work)

I think that free education is a privilege, it is a wonderful opportunity that the state offers us, however, although it is free, it also generates expenses for students, some students do not even have to pay for these expenses and that is where we realize that not all have the same resources. I agree that it is a very large expense for the state, but that expense brings benefits in the medium term, all those students in which the state invested, become future professionals who invest in the country and generate greater economy, therefore in the end there is always retribution.

ResponderEliminarI agree with the free university education, because everyone need an opportunity in their life and money should not be something that cut off the people dream´s. And with the free university education everybody has an equal chance of study in universal level.
I don’t have any argument against with free universal education, although someone could say that this system cost to the governed a lot money but I think that these costs are necessary.

ResponderEliminarSentence that motivates you to continue reading:
“Some people argue that education should be free including university”
Points that argues in favor of free university education:
The arguments in favor is that the poor people sometimes miss the chance to study in university and this is a disadvantage when they are looking for a job. With free university would ensure that everybody has an equal chance to study in the university. With this kind of systems, the free university could attract the most able students and not the richest or the
poorest.
Points that argues against free university education:
If the university education is free this will cost lot of money to the government and to cover this expenses they would raise taxation and it’s unfair to tax everyone. Also they question how useful is the university education as whole and the vocacional training will be more beneficial
Paragraph that argues in a balanced way:
They say that the advantage outweigh the disadvantage, while free education cost a little more in taxes it creates the fair system and more opportunities for poor people
Linking expressions:
Outweigh: Means like something is more important or better than other
in other hand: in other perspective
Furthermore: in addition
although: in contrast of a fact

ResponderEliminarI disagree with the idea of free university education for all because this would cost a lot of money for the government and there is a lot of students who can pay their education and this can help with the university expenses. Another possible problem of free university education is that there can be some students who don’t take seriously the education and would be wasting the government’s money.
For people in a social or economic disadvantage, there are scholarships of the university itself. Also in Costa Rica, there is an institution called CONAPE who can borrow or finance you the education

It motivates me to continue studying the dreams that I have that I want to make come true, and if I have my university degree, opportunities open up for me and I also want to have more and more necessary knowledge that allows me to help others and build the business ideas that I have. I am grateful to the public university because it has given me the opportunity to study with a scholarship and among many other benefits that it gives students to continue studying.
ResponderEliminarI agree because ...
1. It provides greater opportunities for people who do not have the economic resources to pay for a university education; This creates more equal opportunity to enter than to have a higher education.
2. Then, when people have a university degree, they have more job opportunities, they can have a salary that promotes a more dignified life.
3. We obtain a more knowledgeable Costa Rican population, which makes the country more competitive, better internally and at the same time gives more recognition to the country and involvement in international projects. This by supporting the nation's intellectual capital.
Points against ...
1. The government at this time cannot give more money to public universities due to the country's debt and the need for investment that other "basic need" institutions have. The government would have to put more taxes.
2. Educational quality is put at risk.
Balanced way…
Scholarships and the opportunity to relocate students near the university should be increased.

ResponderEliminar1) The catch sentence that motivated me to continue reading the essay is “Poor people sometimes miss the chance to study at university because they cannot afford it”. It showed me that the speech was going to advocate for a minority.
2) Free education will give every one equal opportunities. Because when someone can´t afford university they have less job opportunities so people who weren’t born rich will not have the opportunity to success because the system is created to enhance the rich and leaving behind the poor. I Agree with this point because at a long term, there will be benefits for everyone, because people are gonna have opportunities and the government will have to deal less with poverty.
3) It will cost the government a lot of money so they will need to raises taxes and a lot of people do not agree on that, I disagree with this way of thinking because these people are being selfish and aporophobic.

ResponderEliminarI agree that university education is free, since it provides many benefits to those who do not have the economic and social possibility to study, in addition to training more professional people in the country, therefore, providing a better quality of life.
I disagree that taxes go up, in addition to lowering the government budget for education. The latter means closing the doors of growth to the country.
What motivates me to continue studying is wanting to be professionals and overcome my financial limitations.
ResponderEliminarAlso, I agree that when the government does not pay for education, specifically at universities, many students will not be able to pay the costs of studying at a university. I agree that free education would generate equity, but it is true that it would generate many expenses for the government.
I do not agree when the education is not free. Since education would bring progress and less poverty.

ResponderEliminarI agree that education is free because many people do not have enough money to pay for a career and have to dedicate their lives to something they do not like. However, I would like there to be a methodology for people who do not take advantage because they do not take it seriously, these people do not have the possibility to continue studying and give it to someone else. It is important to give people the opportunity because they can be great scientists, doctors, teachers, lawyers or engineers and if they are not given the opportunity for the simple fact of not having money, it is not fair.
The government wastes a lot of money on silly events and extremely high wages. If this were more invested in education it could be free for everyone. It is also said that food waste can change hunger in the world, in addition to little change we can make great changes in the world.

ResponderEliminarEducation should be free for someone who needs it, especially for poor people because they can't pay a college, these people haven't got the necessary resourses to continue studiying and so they choose to work on positions where they won't receive the same money as someone who studied, but the education can't be free for everyone because this would represent a large financial challenge for the goverment, I agree with education be free but not for everybody

ResponderEliminarI agree with the public education at the universities, because a large population in the country does not have the resources to pay for it, also it is an opportunity for us young people to be able to fulfill our dreams, since the great goals are not synonyms of wealth. In my case I do not agree with the fact that public universities generate specialized professionals in a single area and which does not have an critical opinion of other topics outside his area, and most don't have the soft skills.

ResponderEliminarI think that the universities shouldn't be entirely free, cause there is a lot of people that can actually pay for their education, but don't actually do it. That should be important cause they can support even more the university. Even though I said that universities shouldn't be free, I think they should be comprehensive and empathic with the people that really can't pay for them and let them have their education.
