Education of young people is highly prioritized in many countries. However, educating adults who cannot write or read is even more important and governments should spend more money on this. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
写作思路
是否应该重视成年人的扫盲教育，让他们具备基本的读写能力？这么做当然很有必要，而且和青少年的教育同样重要。无论对于个人还是对于社会，读书写字的基本技能都很重要。对于个人来说，生活更加便利，能够找到更好的工作，同时也能够利用自己的知识和技能为社会服务。政府和社会之所以重视青少年教育，是希望青少年能有好的未来，能够为社会多做贡献，那么对于教育缺失的成年人，政府也应该给与同样的支持。

参考范文
In many countries, a certain portion of adults are illiterate, which means they do not have the basic ability to read or write. However, education for these people is quite limited and governments tend to give priority to the education of children and young people. In my opinion, educating adults and reducing the illiteracy rate should also be emphasized.
Firstly, learning to read and write can improve adults’ well-being and make their lives more convenient. Some illiterate people struggle to live a normal life as they may have difficulty in reading the menu and bus schedule. For some reasons, they do not receive proper education at a young age and later on they are paying a price for this. If the government could provide some education programs for this group of citizens, life would be much easier for them.
Moreover, raising the literacy rate can increase people’s employability and produce more qualified workers for society. Most of people with low literacy rely on the government’s welfare or do some low-paid work. Education will enhance their competitiveness in the job market, making them competent in challenging jobs with higher pay. This is also beneficial to society, as educated people can make greater contribution with their knowledge and skills.
Unfortunately, adults’ education does not receive as much attention as children’s education in many parts of the world. This is mainly because the issue of adult illiteracy is often ignored by the government and public. The purpose of school education is to give young people a bright prospect and make them better serve society, and for those adults whose schooling is not complete, the government should offer them equal support.
