28. Taking Part in School Activities

参加校园活动

Nowadays, a large number of students show great interest in school activities. In their eyes, learning from books is not the sole task of their school career. They also wish to take every chance to obtain practical knowledge. Additionally, they find that after long hours of study, they can relax both physically and mentally by taking part in school activities.

现在，许多学生对学校活动很感兴趣。在他们看来，书本学习不是他们学校生活惟一的任务。他们愿意抓住一切机会去获得实际知识。同时，他们发现学校活动使他们可以在学习之余使自己身心放松。

However, other students insist that school activities have nothing to do with their studies and they fear that school activities will take up too much of their time. Therefore, they would rather spend most of their time studying.

然而，还有一些学生认为学校活动跟他们的学习毫不相关，他们担心学校活动会占用他们太多时间。因此，他们宁愿把自己的大部分时间花在学习上。

As far as I'm concerned, I think we should agree with the former group of students. We can learn plenty of things from the students we meet in activities. What's more, we can also get lots of social experience from doing so. Such experience can never be learned by being a "book-worm".

在我看来，我认为我们应该同意前一种观点。我们可以从我们在学校活动中遇到的同学身上学到很多东西。而且，我们还可以从中得到许多社会经验，这些都是那些“书呆子”不可能学到的。
