1、11. COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOULD ATTEND PHYSICAL EXERCISEPhysical exercise is a necessary part of college life. However, still some college students do not like to attend sports activities, they think those activities waste their time and influence their study. Indeed, it is very unwise for college stude
2、nts to keep distance from physical exercise because physical exercise is not harmful but good to them.College students can benefit a lot from physical exercise. First of all, attending sports activities can help students build a strong body, and keep abounding energy. Moreover, physical exercise is
3、an effective way to relieve pressure and keep a pleasant mood. Besides, by attending physical activities, students can have chances to contact and communicate with others which can help them improve their social skills. Nowadays, all colleges and universities have provided many sports facilities for
4、 students to do physical exercises, students can chose freely according to their interests and needs.As for me, I am keen on all kinds of ball games, especially football and basketball. From these games, I have gained a lot, and enjoined great pleasure. To conclude, physical exercise is beneficial t
5、o every college student, and therefore do not hesitate to attend sports activities.2. Online gamesAs a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students. Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games. But as we see
6、, some students lacking self discipline are too much indulged in these games, so that their health and academic performances are affected.This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents. However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful. They can train the young
7、sters ability to respond to things quickly. Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science. More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly. From my point of view, online games are wonderful entertainment if you
8、 play them in a clever way. When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once, but if you have enough self control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.3. Certificates Craze on CampusIn recent years, to get a certifica
9、te has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly, ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for some kind of certificate. Why does this craze appear? There are two main reasons behind this phenomenon. First
10、, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a large more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job markets. How can one make himself more competitive, more certificates at hands maybe. Second, the dip
11、lomas and certificates are still important standard by which many employers measure a persons ability in order to increase qualification for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since ce
12、rtificates do not necessarily prove ones ability, it is nothing but a waste time to be crazy in getting certificates blindly. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.4. How to deal with peer pressure?College students are often obsesse
13、d by peer pressure from their classmates or schoolmates. Facing others hard work and good performances in academic and other aspects, many students feel great pressure. Then, how to deal with this kind of peer pressure? The following measures can be taken.First, you should take a careful look at you
14、r present level and set a practical object. You neednt always compare yourselves with those on the top and just make your efforts towards your object. Second, under peer pressure, you shouldnt feel discouraged and pressed. Instead, you should make it your motivation for harder work. Finally, if you
15、find pressure is nearly beyond your control, youd better turn to professional psychological guidance.As a college student, I have no way to avoid peer pressure, so I try to figure out some way to do with it well. I set my own goal, taking into account my practical level and my position among the pee
16、rs. Because of my focus on my own goal, I have no time and 2energy to think about the pressure. So Im little troubled by it. To conclude, we should not escape from peer pressure, but learn to make best use of it, since it can hardly be avoided.5. Should college students be tutors? Cf: 28Nowadays the
17、re are more and more provided tutors among college students. Some students even take a few tutor jobs at the same time. People have different opinions about this phenomenon. Some people believe college students can benefit a lot from being tutors. On the one hand they can earn some money and lessen
18、the burden on their family. On the other hand they can have chances to apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problems. However, there are still others who object to college students being a tutor. They think that a student should focus on his study instead of doing a part-time job.
19、If they spend too much time on teaching, they will not have enough time to study, and naturally their academic performance will be affected.Considering whats discussed above, Im in favor of the former argument. In my opinion, to be a tutor is a good practical activity for us college students, from w
20、hich we can gain practical experience and skills. But it is worth noting that we cannot spend too much time in being tutors. We should balance the relationship between the tutor job and study.6.

Extravagant spending on college campusAccording to a survey, in recent years, the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise. Many college students spend money like
25、 water and have no concept of thrift in their mind. They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter society. This extravagant spending is mainly caused by the following factors: First of all, nowadays, most students are the only children of their families. They ar
26、e the apple in their familys eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. Secondly, with the improvement of living standards, parents can afford higher expenditures of their children. Thirdly, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to need more money. Finally, campus love
27、 is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.From my point of view, a college student as a pure consumer should learn to be thrifty. We should limit our expenditure on barely necessities but not whatever we want, regardless of their prices. The habit of thrift can help us form right value
28、s and is favorable to our future development.8. A quarrel in the dormitoryWeeks ago I witnessed the quarrel between my two roommates. It shocked me the two good friends fired out just for a very trifling matter. It was in the morning at weekend when I was washing my face in the bathroom. Suddenly I
29、heard Ann and Sue shouting at each other. I hurried to come out to see what happened. It turned out that the noise of Sues closing the door waked Ann, whose bed is just beside the door. Ann thought Sue deliberately closed the door heavily. Sue didnt have made her fault and said Ann was making troubl
30、e out of nothing. So their argument became ambits of quarrel. Though later 3they stopped quarreling under our persuasion, neither of them would like apologize to the other. Such a quarrel leaves me to think a lot about dormitory harmony. If either Ann or Sue can be a little tolerant or take a better
31、 way to express herself, this quarrel, I think, can be avoided easily. It is no doubt that a harmony dormitory life benefits all the members. But it needs our common efforts to build it.9. Students Pursuit for Famous Brands Nowadays many college students like to pursue famous brands. From clothes to
32、 mobile phones, even study articles like electronic dictionaries and pens, they are inclined to buy famous brands. Moreover, many students from poor families begin to follow this consumption trend as well. This phenomenon has aroused wide attention.The following reasons can account for college stude
33、nts preference for famous brands. Above all, in many college students eyes, a famous brand is a symbol of sophistication and taste. They expect others to admire their high class and good taste. Whats more, in modern society, famous brands to some extent are equal to fashion, which has a great attrac
34、tion to young college students. Besides, parents spoiling their children helps form their bad consumption habit. As far as I am concerned, it is irrational for college students to pursue famous brands. After all, most of famous brands are far beyond their consumption ability. Besides, it is not famo
35、us brands but a persons noble character that really makes him high class. Therefore, college students should attach more importance to cultivating a good character rather than pursuing famous brands.10. How should college students relieve pressure?Todays college students face many pressures, mainly
36、from parents expectation, study, economy, employment and all kinds of competition. Although pressure, to some extent, can provide motivation, overdue pressure has a serious negative impact. Pressure can destroy a students confidence. More seriously it might make some students lose control of their e
37、motions and behaviors. Considering the great damage of overdue pressure, college students should learn how to relieve pressure. First, we should have a right evaluation of ourselves, so its to make use of advantages and avoid disadvantages. Second, we should set a clear aim of struggle. The aim can
38、give us motivation and make us become active. Third, attending collective activities is an effective way to relieve pressure. Finally, if you find pressure is nearly beyond your control, youd better turn to professional psychological guidance.As to me, my pressure is mainly from future employment. I
39、n order to reduce upset, I ask my parents to help me analyze my advantages and disadvantages and produce more practical job objection. So my employment pressure has been relieved greatly. Now I become very confident in my future, and I do believe I can get an ideal job after my graduation.11. The un
40、iversitys branch campuses in suburban areasIn recent years more and more universities have built up their branch campuses in suburban areas. Now it is very difficult to find a university without a branch campus. Maybe no one can tell clearly when the first branch campus came out. But the reasons beh
41、ind this phenomenon are obvious. Among these reasons, the enrollment expansion of universities plays a very vital role. As more and more freshmen are remitted to universities, the original facilities, including classrooms, apartments, dining houses, laboratories and the like, are not enough any more
42、. Whats more, the land in the suburb is relatively low in price, which is affordable for most universities. Besides, the quiet environment in suburban areas is more suitable for students to study. As a college student, I think, it is necessary and beneficial for many universities to build up a branc
43、h campus. However the building of branch campuses brings some problems. For one thing, the students in some branch campuses cannot enjoy good enough facilities and the teachers due to limited resources. For another it leads to less direct communications among teachers and students. Therefore the uni
44、versity should take a full account before it decides to build up a branch campus. 12. How to adapt yourself to college life4There are obvious differences between high school life and college life. First, college students will live in the dormitory with classmates who come from various places, and wh
45、o may have different living habits. Second, college teachers , instead of explaining in detail how to solve every problem, might only tell different approaches to the problem, and leave students to study and solve problems independently. Finally, in college, there is more free time for students to s
46、pend on.However how should the college freshman adapt himself to these differences. First of all, he should learn to be tolerant and consider more for others, which is necessary for group living. Moreover he should take active part in collective activities and make more communication with classmates
47、 and teachers. It will help he be smoothly integrated with your new environment. Besides, as to study,he should develop a good habit of self-teaching and learn to arrange study independently. Of course, it may take a freshman some while to become accustomed to the study and life in college. However,
48、 we all have to accept constant challenges of new things in our life. To conclude, college students should try to adapt himself to college life as soon as possible, so as to take full advantages of their precious college time. 13.
