1、一、 校园生活篇Topic 1 Volunteer Your Time Faced with the question whether it is worthwhile to spend a year or two voluntee¬ring in western China, many college students would probably shake their heads, seeing it as a waste of valuable learning time. However, I will give an affirmative answer without h
2、esitation, because this experience can apparently benefit us in many ways. First, it is a great opportunity for us to apply the knowledge we have acquired at college. Different from temporary part-time jobs, a longer volunteer work experience is truly fulfilling and rewarding. As English majors, we
3、can learn to use and teach the language effectively in real classes; as education majors, we can experiment with those textbook theories in helping manage a school or instruct the younger; those who study engineering can take this chance to turn their ideas and skills into running machines, new brid
4、ges and broad roads. From this experience, we will better understand our schoolwork and even build up considerable expertise in our chosen fields. Second, we can gain a great sense of satisfaction by making contributions in an underdeveloped region. Right now, the western China is suffering from bot
5、h the short¬age of resources and that of talents in its course of development. If we can step into the needed roles by simply sacrificing a year or two, we will be able to make some differ¬ence to the situation as a whole. Imagine how proud you will be when telling your fami¬ly and frien
6、ds how you have taught the illiterate to read, and how you have helped to change the look of a backward town. Compared with the great sense of pride you feel, a years time is just a small price to pay. Third，we can establish a deep friendship with local people. On the one hand, if you truly love and
7、 help the people you work with, they naturally love and help you back. Take a senior I know for example, who served two months as a teacher in a dry northwestern town. During the period of water shortage, both his students and their parents voluntarily kept water for him, sometimes despite their own
8、 need. Recalling his days there, he said they were not easy but he could not help missing them. Probably many volunteers would feel the same as him. While we are giving care, support and help, we often get back more including a lasting friendship. Therefore，I will readily sign up to volunteer in the
9、 western China despite various challenges I may meet. Think of the differences we can make there and the changes this experience can make to us, why not walk out of the ivory tower and step onto the promising land of our country?Topic 2 Should Network Games Be Banned in College? It is a prevailing p
10、ractice that university students play network games in their spare time for relaxation. Some teachers and parents hold the negative opinion that many students are so obsessed with network games that they play truant，and others even commit a crime for one reason or another. Others dont agree. As far
11、as I am concerned ,the critical point is whether the students can keep a balance between study and games. Some thought that playing network games will cost a lot of time and energy, which should otherwise be devoted to their academic study. After all，time is limited for college students and its the
12、most fundamental duty for them to study and lay a solid foundation in knowledge. And the content of the network games is sometimes violent and bloody, which is not suitable for students. It is also reported that some students are so addictive to the network games that they even dont go to class and
13、sit in front of the computers all day long. Their worries and considerations are justified，but we should not give up eating for choking. First, life in college is not easy. Students have to work hard to learn and at the same time they have much pressure from their parents or others. Playing network
14、games will help them to relax and be immersed in a virtual world. The rest of heart is important in the modern society. Second, students will learn more about team¬work in the network games. People in a team cooperate and help each other to win the game. The experience is vivid and works better
15、than any lecture. Third, students meet different people on the Internet, and learn to get along with them in different ways. It may endow the very student with the ability to establish a better personal relationship with other people, which means a lot when they enter the society. To sum up,for univ
16、ersity students,the priority should be given to academic study. A poor performance in achievement tests wont make us competitive in the future. But all work no play makes Jack a dull boy. Appropriate rest and relaxation in the network games world will refresh a person and help him to learn something. The college students are all ad
