                                                       Taking Part in School Activities

     Many students are very enthusiastic about school activities; they have their reasons. Firstly, they think

that learning from text-books is not their only task. They believe that they should take every chance to get

some practical knowledge. Secondly, they hold that after long hours of study,they can relax themselves by

participating in school activities.

     However, a large group of students take little interest in school activities and spend most of their time on

their studies. Firstly, they believe that they should make full use of the time to study. Secondly,they feel that

school activities have little to do with their further development.

     As far as I'm concerned, I prefer the first view. On one hand, we can learn a great deal from other

students we meet in activities, FuRthermore, nowadays young students should seek all-round development,

so "bookworms" can't keep up with the times any longer.
