Campus Activities
Campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges. These activities range from academic to recreational, such as academic reports, speech contests, poet's club, painting clubs, singing and dancing groups, etc.
These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all, they play a positive role in improving students' studies. Due to their heavy schedules, students are often buried in textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the various activities provide opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds. In addition, the activities also serve students living in the "ivory tower" more chances to get in touch with society. From these activities, the participants have to leave the classroom and get to know the society.
All these offer an important means for students to broaden their horizons. By participating in campus activities, they have fulfilled university life and in turn help campus activities to grow and flourish. (154 words)
結(jié)構(gòu)剖析
文章分為三段
第一段引出話題，用such as舉例說(shuō)明了校園的豐富活動(dòng)。
第二段首句是該段的主題句，接著用first of all和in addition介紹了參加校園活動(dòng)的各種好處。
第三段再次強(qiáng)調(diào)了參加校園活動(dòng)的重要意義。
校園活動(dòng)
校園活動(dòng)已在多所大學(xué)如火如荼地展開。這些活動(dòng)從學(xué)術(shù)到娛樂(lè)內(nèi)容豐富，例如學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告、演講比賽、詩(shī)人俱樂(lè)部、美術(shù)俱樂(lè)部、歌舞團(tuán)等。
這些活動(dòng)使學(xué)生具有兩大優(yōu)勢(shì)。首先，它們?cè)谔岣邔W(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)方面起到了積極作用。由于繁重的課業(yè)，學(xué)生們常常被埋在課本堆中，很少讓自己接觸豐富多彩的生活。但各種各樣的活動(dòng)為他們提供了放松身心和豐富思想的機(jī)會(huì)。此外，各種活動(dòng)也使生活在"象牙塔"中的學(xué)生獲得更多接觸社會(huì)的機(jī)會(huì)。參加這些活動(dòng)，參與者們必須離開教室，熟悉社會(huì)。
所有這些都為學(xué)生們拓寬視野提供了一個(gè)重要的途徑。通過(guò)參與校園活動(dòng)，他們擁有充實(shí)的校園生活，這反過(guò)來(lái)也促進(jìn)了校園活動(dòng)的發(fā)展和繁榮。
