To Iearn or to Practice
Nowadays. more and more people have got the Opportunities to study at colleges and universities. Should college students make efforts to acquire knowledge at school, or should they spend more time participating in social activities? This question has aroused wide concern,
Some people think that college students should attach great importance to social practice, which can offer them a chance to contact the society and meet different kinds of people. In this way students can gain some valuable social experience, which will be useful to their future career. Besides, students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work so as to better
understand what they have learnt in classes.
However, other people hold different opinions. They believe that the true function of college is to gain access to knowledge for its own sake. Only after students acquire the basic knowledge can they be competent in their future jobs. In addition. they worry that some students get overly interested in social practice and want to work full-time, thus neglecting their studies.
As far as I am concerned, 1 firmly believe that college students should put their studies in the first place and see social practice just as a useful supplement. They ought to strike a balance between social practice and their studies.
